” The gunman who attacked the federal courthouse, the Mexican consulate and the Austin Police Department headquarters was killed by a single shot taken from 312 feet away by mounted patrol Sgt. Adam Johnson who also held the reigns of two horses.”http://www.cleat.org/2014/12/apd-chief-officer-killed-gunman-with-one-shot-from-312-feet/

There is still a place for traditional marksmanship training. The average gunfight may occur at 2-3 yards but, there’s no guarantee that you get the benefit of that “average” engagement. You will have to “run what you brung” with no opportunity to run back to the rifle some say you should never have left behind. Kudos to Officer Johnson for not being “average!”
