It's been awhile

Hello again,

I have not written to my blog in sometime, with life things going on and being very busy with work I have not even fired a round in over two months. So this post will be about practice. It is essential that you practice with your firearm regularly, there’s a saying that goes, “When danger accosts you, you fight the way you train, so it behooves you to train the way you fight”.

In a time of crisis when you need your defensive tools and skills the most, when adrenaline is rushing through your body and your unconscious reaction takes over your conscious train of thought, your body relies more on gross motor skills and muscle memory to do the right things to protect yourself.

If you don’t know this: Hello, gross motor skills and muscle memory come from training. So even if you cannot afford to fire hundreds of rounds a month you can do dry fire drills. Try the link that I posted all you need is an empty gun and a computer screen. (Yogisgunblog is not responsible for you shooting your computer or anything else since you did not follow directions and clear your weapon and move the ammo to another room)

If at all possible I suggest that you fire at a minimum 50 live rounds a month. And do dry fire practice drills weekly. You can also fire a .22 cal handgun very cheaply, 500 rounds are 15-20 dollars. There are many drills you can and need to practice, we all have guns that we put in the glove box or in a drawer and there they are until we are attacked. can you get your gun out and charged and fire accurately in that moment of stress? what if you have a malfunction? Can you clear it and get back into the fight? That is where training and practice comes in to play. I am going to post some links to different training and practice drills, take some time to check them out and remember........practice your life depends upon it.
