I got involved with action shooting in 2000. I disliked it. I was trained by dad who fought as a Marine in the Pacific in WW 2, how to shoot. I was taught to squeeze off shots. Not run around and shoot a bunch of targets in a certain order with only enough accuracy to hit center mass. Though I shot action matches for 7 years I was much better picking my targets at my leisure and squeezing off bullseyes.
I can draw and get on target pretty fast but my prime gun practice is to use ‘ the Patriot’s’ lesson to his boys. “Aim Small Miss Small “.
That’s just me, everyone needs to pick their own way.

The point of the better action shooting games is to introduce stress into the accuracy equation, mimicking in a small way the stress of a self-defense situation.
Shooting accurately and quickly under stress is obviously a much different thing than carefully squeezing off shots at paper targets.
Good advice and worth repeating. My dad (Army Weapons Specialist) taught me the same. 'Bring the sights to target, take half a breath, squeeze the trigger.'
I think many LEO misses are due to the constant message of 'draw, fire, keep firing until the threat is stopped.'
I think that message works as long as you have superior numbers, but what happens when the ammo runs out?
Better advice might be to simply, 'make every shot count'.
