Practice transitioning from standing to supine (on your back), then how to quickly and efficiently get out of that position. It could mean rolling to the left or right, "scooting" back by pushing off with your legs, rolling back to land on your feet so you can move, etc.

Those individuals who would otherwise discourage you from practicing while lying on your back should prehaps rethink their own shooting positions. In the real world, a gun fight will very seldom happen in the ideal situation which allows for the shooter to stand in the perfect shooting stance. In reality, a person will be shooting around corners, while lying on the ground both on their stomachs as well as their backs, free handed and a host of other impossible shooting stances. If you do not practice shooting from these positions, how can a person expect to gain confidence and accuracy while shooting like this?

In other words, keep shooting the way you want to, because your doing all the good. Although I wouldn't recommend this to be your only method of practice shooting.

I agree with you 100%, as a matter of fact I get a little worried sometimes about friends who have guns for self defense and practice very little and when they do it's usually in your regular line at the range only, and as you say in real life anything can happen.
Thanks for your input.

I can't make/post a video now... I'm in Iraq for a couple more months, and our internet is WAY to slow to be uploading videos. (trust me, I've tried...)

When I get back, I'll be making quite a few videos on my range.

Are you saying that your gameplan is to fall over on your ass and fight that way?

No, he's saying that you should add that drill to your training list in case you have to fight on your back for whatever reason (i.e. trying to back up to cover, and you trip).

He may want to edit his post, because that's not how it reads...

Falling on your back on purpose or tripping by accident,after watching the video Mike309d posted I believe now that the drill is worth practicing...

Affirmative! Practice and practice a lot and more importantly, hold on to your firearm and keep the BG in your sites and firearm up as you fall.
