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 a self defense weapon to be useful, the user must be trained to use the weapon. You need to know how to use the spray container before an emergency situation arises. When you are under attack is not the time to learn how to use the weapon. If it is not pointed in the correct direction, you can end up incapacitating yourself. For effective use, you need to have pepper spray training.
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.
Hold the container firmly cupped in your fingers and use your thumb to flip the cap open. Use your thumb or your trigger finger to press the button to activate the spray that is aimed at the paper target. Continue doing this until you can accurately open the container and hit the target.
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. - 31373
