While defensive tactics and firearm proficiency are important components of personal protection, ADAPTABILITY is the key to survival — always be ready to improvise! If you plan to do something one way, make sure you can do it another way. If you're skilled at performing a task right-handed, practice doing it left-handed. Anything you can do standing up at the shooting range, be able to do sitting, kneeling, prone, and supine with either arm secured behind your back. Basic capabilities like these can make all the difference in an unpredictable situation. Master the basics—basics win fights!
