When practicing defensive shooting techniques, it's crucial to use the same ammunition you intend to carry for personal protection. This ensures that you become familiar with the performance, recoil, and accuracy of your chosen self-defense rounds. Different types of ammunition can behave differently, potentially affecting your ability to respond effectively in a high-stress situation. Consistent practice with your selected ammo helps build muscle memory and confidence in your shooting abilities.
One key difference between shotgun and rifle shooting techniques is the way the gun is held and aimed. In shotgun shooting, the gun is typically held at the hip and aimed using the shooter's peripheral vision, while in rifle shooting, the gun is held at the shoulder and aimed using the sights on the gun.
