My summary of STAND, MOVE, OR SEEK COVER… WHAT WORKS IN A GUNFIGHT, by Greg Elefritz
Trained shooters faced off at a distance of fifteen feet and, after surprise start signal, fired two rounds of reasonably accurate and painful .38 caliber marking cartridges at each other. Three scenarios:
- No movement of the feet. Fire as quickly as possible.
- Free movement—forward, backward, or lateral.
- Start a step away from a 55 gallon steel drum. Move to cover and use it.
PHASE HIT RATE TORSO HITS #1 - STANDING 85% 51% #2 - MOVING 47% 11% #3 - USING COVER 26% 6%
We were astonished at how much difference moving and seeking cover made. Each shooter had practiced shooting on the move and hitting a moving target—but not at the same time.
Most of the hits when using cover occurred when shooters broke cover to retreat. Proper use of cover almost eliminated the chance of being hit.
