A WHILE BACK, I WROTE A COLUMN ON shooting while moving and questioned just how important it was in the scheme of things, and it sparked some discussion on Internet forums. A number of serious people debated the topic and arrived at some interesting thoughts and conclusions-one being that the regimented way we teach movement on a square range (moving in a box formation, etc.) really is not the same as what happens in the street. And that was the point I was trying to make.
While I am not saying we should chuck teaching folks to shoot while moving, it needs to be taught in such a way that it reflects what happens in armed conflict.
