Aiming to Win: An Evidence-Informed Approach for Law Enforcement Training in Target-Focused Shooting

Anyone who claims that sights are always required is wrong.

Anyone who tells you sights are never required is equally wrong.


Traditional test-taking training creates a dangerous illusion of preparedness. When faced with a deadly threat at arm's length with milliseconds to react, searching for sight pictures that stress makes impossible to acquire is futile and dangerous. This book is about where and how to apply the right aiming technique for the situation.

Aiming to Win reveals the evidence-based techniques that bridge the gap between range performance and street survival—techniques tried and tested by historic law enforcement legends like Lt. Col. William Fairbairn and Bill Jordan, validated by modern peer-reviewed research.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the qualification is a waste of time and resources
• Data-driven danger zones
• How stress, proximity, and fear alter vision and motor performance
• Evidence-informed training methods that work under pressure
• When to use sights and where you’ll waste the last moments of your life looking for them
