Ummmmm Travis...you're a SEAL and when the SEALs get together to "play" this is what I would expect them to do. But the rest of us mortals are going to get KILLED following that advice. Most of the instructors I know will get killed doing that stuff and so will 99.9999% of the novice shooters here. IDPA teaches safety and smoothness and with smoothness comes speed. All of the safety requirements on an IDPA range will go a long way to preventing needless casualties in real life, too. C'mon Travis, remember that not everyone on FR has your experiences and training!

What? You don't do that? I'm not talking about everybody moving and shooting at the same time. When lots of people are firing, sure, you have to maintain some basic firing line protocals. But for one or two shooters, an open pit can't be beat for shooting in a wide variety of angles etc. I think most proficient shooters can certainly do this safely and gain a lot from it. Defensive shooting won't occur in lanes.
