Klein Intuition Model for shooting

[Old NFO]

I ran across this model in my "real" job and got to looking at it from the point of view of a shooter. I have modified it slightly (terminology) to more closely match the many discussions I have seen here about actions vs. reactions vs. mindset. This is probably the best example I've seen of the do-loop of what and how we process both the mental and physical interactions in a shooting environment.

I think it is a good visual example that "may" help tie some of the processess together for some folks as you can put yourself in any "condition" and work the model to look at how any of the six positions affects the progression.

For example- A "cue" of someone following you at night will either elicit a pattern recognition or not (based on condition), which will then generate a response, which will cue a mental stimulation (e.g. night vs. condition vs. CCW) which is built on a mental model (from training, practical experience, etc.) which generates a response that will impact the situation, which then creates another set of cues... etc.
Hopefully by presenting this in a visual format, I can help some folks to play with and comment on this and possibly improve their tactics.

Looks like a variation of the OODA loop.

A little too philosophical and psychological for me. That's the kind of stuff that leaves so many gunslingers confused.
Self defense is not rocket science.

I follow a simple path; train, pay attention and take appropriate action when needed.

You're right Preacherman, it is a simplified version... Go ahead and kill the thread since there does not appear to be any interest.

Why 'kill' the thread...it'll die a natural death on its own.

But hey, for whatever it's worth, you've still got a cool sig.

Thanks Sky Guy After some of the "stuff" I've been through, it now kinda sums up my philosophy of life
