Sunday With Blackthorn (Is Back) - Today Paul Harrell Discusses Shooting From Cover & Shooting And Moving

Due to some unforeseeable personal issues I wasn't able to do anything with Sunday With Blackthorn last week. However I'm back now, and we'll get right back to business.

 

Today we have everyone's favorite, Paul Harrell discussing Two specific areas of defensive shooting. He covers Shooting From Cover, and Shooting While Moving in his usual witty manner tinged with more than just a touch of dry humor.

 

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back and see if you can pick up on something that might be of use to you.
