I don't believe in hitting the same target in the same place more than once is good training. Any decent hit should do it. If it doesn't, you need to go for a head shot with your second shot.
After some experience with live shootings, both mine and others, the biggest problem is getting that hit that will do the job. BG's pumped up on drugs, etc. sometimes are very hard to stop. The other problem is getting target fixated. There is a very strong tendency to zero in on one spot or technique and keep doing it while hoping for the results you so desperately need. You can easily wind up with an empty gun and the problem still present.
I don't have or want a timer. The only thing I want are meaningful hits.
I never been a fan of trying to hit something while moving. Either shoot or duck behind cover. E
I disagree wholeheartedly. I train, preach and teach upper thoracic hits. If I can cover them all with my fist excellent. Body armor drills are not practical in the real world. The first thing a person does when they're hit is move whether it's a flinch from the hit or oh Shiite I gotta get outta here. Trying to follow up a center mass shot with a head shot is not reasonable. I've been trained that way and it's wrong. All the new training I've received in the past couple years was pound upper chest till he goes down. The head is far too animated to reliably hit. If you can't shoot on the move or at least train for it then my friend you're putting yourself in a world of hurt.
