Self Defence Pepper Spray Training
More and more people are concerned about self defense. It has been estimated that some fifteen million Americans now carry a can of pepper spray to use for self defense. We hope that most of those purchased cans never have to be sprayed. One of the problems that many owners of pepper spray face is that they do not have proper pepper spray training to effectively use the weapon.
For any self defense weapon to be useful, you must be trained in using that weapon. The time to learn how to remove the safety cap and spray your pepper spray is not when you are being attacked. If the nozzle is pointed in the wrong direction, you will spray yourself. Pepper spray training will prepare you in case the worst ever happens.
Some of the manufacturers of pepper spray offer a container of similar shape and size of the pepper spray that has been filled with water for training purposes. If you cannot find this training aid, it is suggested that you purchase two of the pepper spray containers, one for training and one for actual use.
Training with pepper spray should be out of doors. Attach a paper target to a tree and practice opening the safety cap and spraying your attacker. Your initial goal is not for speed but for accuracy. Pepper spray can be effective up to twenty feet away.
The container needs to be held firmly. the fingers and the thumb can be used to open the cap. Put the thumb or trigger finger on the activation button to release the spray. Continue practicing until you can smoothly open the pepper spray container and spray.
When you spray step aside and back. This will keep the spray out of your eyes and move you out of the way of the attacker.
