Introduction
The principles of moving and shooting are fundamental skills taught in any pistol or rifle class. Many training classes lack the facilities to engage moving targets and the resulting lack of understanding can lead to very poor tactical choices regarding movement and shooting.  While a F-16 might be a difficult target to hit with an AK-47, hitting a target that is moving at speeds required to fire an accurate shots is not difficult at all.  

The bottom line is that the disadvantages of being the one doing the moving and shooting far outweigh the advantages.

Testing Overview
These concepts were put to the test by students in a level one pistol class. For all shooters, this was the first formal weapon training that they had received and no one in the class had ever shot a moving target before.
