There’s a reason running and shooting has been part of training in elite military units for decades. Recent operations, including the Delta Force raid in Venezuela, are a reminder of how physical these missions can be. Operators may have to move quickly, cover distance, and still be capable of making good decisions and delivering accurate fire.

All we’re doing with a drill like this is adding another stimulus.

A hard sprint elevates heart rate and respiration and creates physical fatigue before the shooting even begins. The shooter still has to control the weapon, process what they’re seeing, make decisions and remain accurate.

Shooting accurately while standing still and rested is one thing. Doing it immediately after a full sprint adds another variable to manage.

For those of you who train this way, what changes the most for you when you have to shoot immediately after hard physical exertion?
