What are you going to Practice this winter

[mongo404]

Was up in the game room doing dryfire drills and got to thinking. What drills does everybody else do? I mostly do draw fire from different positions and different hand positions. Then work on draw shoot 2 reload shoot 2 strong hand reload shoot 2 weak hand then try draw to weak hand. And try 12' apart transitions. Then some more reloads but I only have one dummy round in the mag do you think that hurts or it doesnt matter?

[f'nstar]

Being new to competive shooting i am going to practice reloads, draw, dry fire, anything i can think of to help me out. I need to get comfortable so i can get faster. My first few matchs i went slow to avoid gettiin DQ'ed for a dumb mistake.

Which book are you referring to?
When its cold out its really hard to get a good practice in. I think we try to hurry a little so we can get in out of the cold.

Is this done all strong hand or weak hand or is it freestyle. And what type of firearms do you use?

We shoot a national match style course, but we are loose with the rools

the actual course of fire is one hand hold but we don't specify which hand, and we allow new shooters or people who aren't really interested in shooting actual national match to use 2 hand hold, we rotate between rimfire, centerfire, and 45 But we allow use of 22 on all matches and any centerfire on the centerfire and 45 courses.

there are alot of 1911's on the line as well as glock, m&p, sig, smith's, ect.

10 rounds slow fire then 2 five shot strings in 20 seconds then 2 5 shotstrings in 10 seconds, for a total of 30 rounds

but you have to remember these are 30 rounds for score and the emphesis is on accuracy.

If you want to ingrain the fundamentals of taking the shot Bullseye is a great tool, its not as fun as slinging bullets at steel but its the fundamentals drilled into your body and mind

BTW you won't be happy with your score, nobody ever is and should not be, we strive to do better at every match but alas I'm human and can never achieve perfection

Its called Steve Andersons' Dryfire Manual.It's on Enos
It is a series of drills and scheme for getting better and faster at them.
I wish I had it and a Blue gun with me .
Bored to tears here

Spring 2008 Shooting Schedule:

I'm going to practice with my Airsoft again this year. It's a great way to "dryfire" while having a lot of fun. Last year we bought an airsoft plate rack, some small USPSA targets, etc. and it was a ton of fun. That reminds me that I may need to stock up on gas and bb's...

 

[Bubba]

I'll be working on improving my seated position, as well as practicing with the Garand to overcome its tendency to throw my prone position off. Oh, and a winterseed patch.
