Actually shooting while moving is really challenging. Rolling your feet helps keep the platform stable as you move without the jarring bumps of regular walking.Roryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483616030072739190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-67654538486176655182008-01-06T20:33:00.000-08:002008-01-06T20:33:00.000-08:00Why "walking with a rocking motion of their feet"?...Why "walking with a rocking motion of their feet"?

But I can only say when I use my pistol in a work context it is offensive in the extreme.<BR/><BR/>But I do understand your point in general, and agree with it as such.<BR/><BR/>"Serious" is a definition that is debatable here. I'm not sure "intense" equates with serious. For instance, stabbing someone to death is easier than shooting them which is easier than launching a mortar which is easier than dropping a bomb. But I'd say the seriousness of intent in each case and the practice thereof is fairly consistent. <BR/><BR/>A sniper has to be very serious in his practice. A incredibly small jerk of the trigger can make one miss the target by a mile at distance, whereas up close you can make many mistakes and still hit the target. Precision is not necessary up close in nearly the same degree at distance. <BR/><BR/>And that precision requires serious practice. <BR/><BR/>When we practice with Simms we try and make the environment as chaotic as possible, with blaring music and screams and the like. I consider it serious as can be. Is it more or less serious than the knife guys? I don't think so. Is it less intense training than slaughtering a hog with a knife. I'd say it was. <BR/><BR/>Just my BS opinion. YMMV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
