What are you going to Practice this winter

[Coach]

And you talk about me

I was not meaning anything by it. I wanted to know how he was going to judge his success.

I know what you mean , becoming a great pistol shot is kind of open ended.

I am going to set a goal of making ss B class by this time next year.
I think I can do it ,if my gun is running like my brother says it is
It will be a lot of fun work

Open ended indeed. I was just doing a search on that topic but without success. I am going to start another thread.

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.

"In door range" There is one here in Kokomo $8 hour.

Reloading and transition drills. I plan on still going to the range on dry days - albeit shorter times outside! Build a new AR over the winter (after the holidays).

Dry Fire Drills

This is what I have been using. Laptop hooked up to the Big Screen! Perfect!

I could see where this could be useful if I only had a big tv in my game room. Well hell I dont even have a laptop to take up there so nevermind

You can still use your PC. Smaller Target and screen but same principle!

I learned I need to add some low light drills to my dryfire routine. If you haven't taken a low light class, I highly encourage it. Also a great way to get strong hand drills in as well.

 

[Silverlie]

just going through draw and mag change times, will be trying my hand at the air marshal qualifying course this spring. Cause slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Nobdy has answered my Question in your opinion full mag (dummy rounds) or not when doing reload drills or does it matter?

I made up some dummy rounds a few days ago and I have been using them during reloading drills. I don't know if it makes a difference but I think making things as normal as possible, while being safe ,should be a good thing.

 

[jeremy]

The only time I use Dummy Rounds is at Ranges when I will randomly load them in my Mags with Live Rounds to practice malfunctions...

I think it does. You get used to the weight. IMO, full mags feel a lot different than MT ones.

I try to practice in as close to match conditions as I can. Belt on, gun in same place, mag weighing the same, same glasses, etc.

Definitely yes. Use a full mag of dummies for drills where you're drawing the gun and for the mag you load (not the one you drop) during reload drills.

 

[BillD]

I practice in my garage. I put a couple old towels down on the floor to cushion the blow of the full mags being dropped. OK so far.

+1 to the towels.

I don't drop a full 20 rd mag of 180s unless I have a really good reason. And, other than a few speed shoots and classifiers, there are few places in a match where dropping a full magazine occurs. And, a $25 47D mag is one thing. A $100 140mm SV mag is quite another from a risk/reward perspective. YMMV.
