Professional Firearm Training and the Tactical Shooter Mindset

Target shooting and tactical shooting are very similar at first glance but differ significantly when considering the shooter’s mindset. Both take skill and training – lots of it. However, the training is markedly different because of decisions and considerations that must be made in the two separate environments.

While recently training a group of security personnel in tactical firearm skills, a group of target shooters gathered at the same range were surprised and confused by certain elements of “the tactical mindset” I was teaching. I realize that other target shooters may experience the same level of misunderstanding in similar situations. This video is my attempt to offer the non-tactical firearm enthusiast insight into the tactical shooter’s mindset.
