Jarrett's great, of course, but I'm thinking how it might look to LEOs or prosecutors upon learning you were running TOWARD your assailants in a defensive shoot. I think the backwards drill is much more useful. Regardless, all the exercises would probably prove useful.

Good point, but you're missing mine; if you're running past a group of assailants shooting at you enroute to cover, well, good luck with that! Were it me, I'd be hightailing it out of there to put distance between myself and the threats.
