Episode overview
The Tactical Anatomy Summit combines classroom study with live-fire training. Its foundation is the medically informed work pioneered by Dr. James S. Williams through Tactical Anatomy: Shooting With X-Ray Vision. The panel discusses why defensive shooting requires more than producing groups on a flat target: students must understand three-dimensional anatomy, physiological incapacitation, precision under time pressure, and the medical and legal realities surrounding violent encounters.
