No matter if you are tactical
or a sportsman sooner or later you need to reload. And
you need to reload quickly.
I’m going to go around Robin
Hood’s barn a bit, but I’ll get to reloading.
Hang in there
.
So are you going to stand
still and reload? Why?
The sportsman never has to
worry about the targets shooting back or having a plan of their own. Stand anywhere you want and reload.
The Army Marksmen Unit has a
great Youtube video of reloading from the side saddle and belt caddy.
There are some great tips
there, well worth watching and practicing.
But remember, they’re shooting tuned, semi-auto 12 gauge shotguns at
steel targets. They aren’t moving and
the steel isn’t shooting back.
Let’s not talk about tactical
shooting, yet. Unless the cardboard is
shooting back, can out-flank you, and make you DRT (dead right there), it’s
still a sport.
If you need this skill, if
you need to stop one or more people DRT, you must be aware that standing still
makes you a great bullet stop for the ensconced adversary.
You need options. The best option: being somewhere else,
somewhere safe. But sometimes that is not
possible. The second best, behind large
bulletproof cover. The third option, and
it’s not great, is moving! Moving
targets are hard to hit. Ask any rabbit
hunter.
