Kinda like if he'd found himself on the wrong side of a strange town at night....
I think it takes a mindset to begin with, as well as training, to get that 'OO' piece of the loop running faster. I'm no badass but in the above I was already inside his loop even though he knew I was eventually comin' and from what direction.
There's no magic pill but training coupled with your sig line works better for me than the fetal position.

Good to know, Badger. That Tueller distance is often presented as fact. With a gun drawn approaching from the oblique and possibly misdirection become imperative, IMO.
You must have a pretty decent mile pace, and explode off the line when needed. Stacks odds and probabilities in your favor. A fighting chance that I have no doubt many on this board would be calculating (albeit subconsciously) as they close and engage the target.
