What is combat shooting?

Answer 1

Combat shooting can be a "sporting" event where shooters engage targets in a manner similar to how one would encounter targets in a combat scenario.

Typically, people shoot at a range at a know distance with stationary targets. In combat shooting, targets may move, present themselves (pop up) and then disappear. The shooter needs to be more observant to potential threats as they appear.

"Hogans Alley" was used by Law Enforcement, where potential targets appear, but the shooter doesn't know if the target will be a criminal, or an innocent civilian. This is a type of combat shooting where the shooter must make a split-second decision whether to shoot or not.

Answer 2

Combat shooting is a type of shooting practice that focuses on real-life self-defense scenarios, such as engaging targets while moving, shooting from cover, and using a firearm in high-stress environments. It aims to improve a person's ability to defend themselves effectively in dangerous situations.
