Considered by many to be a forerunner to modern defensive firearms training, the book focused on the use of handguns in self-defense scenarios. The authors, with their extensive experience in law enforcement and military training, emphasize the importance of instinctive shooting, where the shooter reacts swiftly and accurately without the need for precise aiming. Pike takes these lessons onto the range to evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques.<\/em><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/fairbairn-and-sykes-shooting-to-live\/\">RTWT.<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>For Further Reading:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/2022\/09\/03\/listerine-pistol-extreme-close-quarter-combative-realities\/\">&#8220;Listerine&#8221; Pistol: Extreme Close Quarters Combative Realities<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.handgunsmag.com\/editorial\/when-you-cant-use-your-sights-aim-with-your-body\/137699\">When You Can&#8217;t Use Your Sights, Aim with your Body<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/index.php\/2022\/10\/14\/the-combative-continuum-2\/\">The Combative Continuum<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-67393 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Training.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Training.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Training-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Training-768x475.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture class=\"wp-image-45853\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oss-training-in-house-of-horrors.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oss-training-in-house-of-horrors-800x544.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oss-training-in-house-of-horrors-400x272.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oss-training-in-house-of-horrors-768x522.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oss-training-in-house-of-horrors-600x408.jpg.webp 600w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fairbairn and Sykes: Shooting to Live &nbsp; Travis Pike provides a practical review of the classic book \u201cShooting to Live\u201d by Fairbairn and Sykes.
