And who said they were.
Hunting can be a great source of practice also shooting running bunnies with a handgun is great fun taking big game animals works also.
Well I think if a guy from Japan can come here and only train one month with a firearm, while shooting all year with a airsoft and dominate a prestigious competition proves that one does not need to shoot thousands of rounds to be able to hit a target under stress. I agree that hunting animals is good training, but not everybody can, and big game is expensive for city folk.
22 lr has been one of the greatest training aids to learn trigger control, breathing, sight picture, or point shooting. Those are the basics and can be learned without ever picking up a firearm.
People have been defending themselves in the US for a couple centuries, and until the CC fad most people bought a gun, fired it once, and put it in a drawer. Yet they are able to outshoot the high tech tacti cool crowd of today. I understand that selling expensive firearms training is a good source of income, but it is not the end all to self defense. Proven by the poor accuracy of most police shootings.
To be clear, and honest, people only need the will to live/survive, a firearm, basic firearms knowledge and the fortitude to pull the trigger. It is one reason women are such a joy to teach firearms training, they carry, train, to survive, not to be tacticool, at least most of them.
