Letter Re: Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
Hi.
The Chinese say that if proficiency is desired a skill must be repeated "10,000
times." Well, if you don your concealment rig and practice weapon presentation
and dry firing 30 times, every day, you will have done it over 10,000 times
in just one year. Repetition builds muscle memory and with muscle memory comes
speed. Speed is not a matter of quick reflexes. It comes from eliminating extraneous
motion. It doesn't matter how "fast" you practice. If done right,
every time, even in slow motion, when needed in reality you will be amazed
at the effortless speed that results. My twenty bucks (two cents ---adjusted
for inflation) worth. - Doug R.
