Quote:
Bullseye is an excellent tool for SD or any other pistol/revolver shooting.
I don't care what you shoot, the goal is to hit your target, not see how many rounds you can put down range.
It's about fundamentals, Bullseye, more then anything else (excluding ISU pistol shooting) gives you those fundamentals.

There can be an inherent danger for those who think that bullseye shooting alone is preperation for SD. Bullseye trained police officers found that out when they were actually involved in a real fight. It's not a lesson that needs to be relearned.
Can't count the times at the indoor range when shooters would come in to keep "sharp" for SD and do nothing but shoot for tight groups and then grin at their "achievment". Now, if you KNOW you're having fun, brushing up on fundamentals, and enjoying yourself, that's fine. If you think that's self defense practice, then it isn't.
On the other hand, if you understand the value of fundamentals learned in bullseye, then you can apply some of it to the real world of gun fights, as bullseye teaches fundamentals.
Watch a Gabe Suarez video on gunfighting and see if standing there while acquiring a nice sight picture and squeeeeeezing the trigger is realistic and likely to get you anything other than killed. Try that in the wrong situation, and you could obsorb more lead than the Dalton gang in Coffeyville, Kan.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
