Practice, Practice, Practice.....
shootthesheet.....

Our CHL instructor, a current LEO/Instructor with a v large PD and former SWAT team leader 12yrs, showed us some staggering 'shoot' numbers on regular large city patrolmen and Swat or Special Services Teams around the country.
While don't have the numbers handy here at work...the patrolman's average hit on target ,in real gunfight situations is 29% (that's 1 out of 3 shots will hit its target>v scary), while Swat/Special Services is 98-99%.
The difference....the patrolman must pay for his own ammo, and hit the range on his own time; while SWAT receives everything ammo/time = free, and departments insists that SWAT range and course time be part of their ongoing training, activity....
I hit the range once a week and go through a minimum of 100-200 rounds per week; because it's the practice, and training that may save my life or that of my wife (she is CHL too). I'm not a 'gun-ho' CHLer and I hope I never have to use my weapon ...but I know that if my life depends on it...I've done my time in repeated practice, training and muscle memory and vision will help me!
I think it's really deplorable of those PD's policy/ treatment for the regular LEO on the street- our first line of protection - they must pay out of his own pocket and their own time! We CHLers have agreed to ' take the higher road ' in conduct and responsibility and now part of that responsbility is to insist PDs provide the facilities, time and ammo for our LEOs! Do your part and make a call inquiry today to your local Chief!
If we have to fire; let's make sure we hit the BGs...not innocent victims!

I don't know any CHL holders like that personally. However, in my CHL class, there were several older (70+) guys in there for renewal that admitted they had not shot since their last renewal class. SCARY!
