I see and say the exact same thing at every class. You have time. Why rush it? And they still rack off 4 or 6 rounds in 3 seconds.
What's really interesting is the dichotomy of it all. One group I can't get to slow down. Then there is a second set that I can't get to speed up.
Defensive shooting is a balance of speed and accuracy. If you're not accurate, you don't hit the target; you get killed. If you're not at least a little fast, they shoot you first; you get killed. So, you must be fast enough to get the shot off and accurate enough to put it in the right place.
Some students get so focused on accuracy, you really could get the paint to dry before they get the first shot off.
When shooting a controlled pair, 2 shots in 2 seconds, they don't need to be any closer than a fist to a hand span apart. Closer than that, speed up. Further apart, slow down.
