The Tueller drill, as taught by both Farnam and Ayoob, the knife person starts the move, the shooter must react. When Farnam taught my class in 1987, the drill was run several ways. First with shooter standing still, then with shooter backing up on the same line as line of attack, and last with shooter moving back at an angle to the attack. I have seen attackers cover the 7yds in 1 1/4 seconds -- and I cannot react, draw, and fire an accurate stopping shot from concealment, that fast. Moving at an angle away from the attack will allow proper defense. GLV
