Your routine drills per range trip; or even dry firing at home ?
IF there's already a thread on this subject; please direct me to it.
When I go to the range. There are three drills that I try to do every time:
- Draw and shoot.
I setup the target at about 10 feet. And without any prep; I draw and shoot it.
The philosophy behind this drill is that it best mimics a real life self defense situation. And let's you know how good or rusty your skills are.
How I do with this one shot determines how my other drills will go.
I believe I got this idea from Reid Henrichs; either his book "Pistol Craft", his Youtube videos, or both.
- Squeeze me
After doing that first drill. I then spend a minute of practicing gripping my handgun.
I get my grip on handgun in fire position, then tighten my grip until my muscles start to shake.
I'll do this a few times.
The philosophy behind this drill is to learn exactly how hard you can actually grip the gun.
I got this drill from Grant Cunningham's book "Handgun Training".
- Three targets.
Shoot at three targets lined up in a row, one after the other.
Left target shoot with two handed grip.
Center target strong hand only.
Right target week hand only.
I generally shoot one to three mags on this drill.
And will sometimes throw in a few double or triple taps.
I got this drill from Reid Henrichs, from one of his Youtube videos.
Sometimes there are other drills I will do.
But these are the three drills I try to do every time and usually are the only drills I will do.
And I even do these drills dry firing at home.
Dry firing at home. I have one other drill.
Using a brightly lit wall as target. I aim at nothing imparticular.
Rather I'll use the brightly lit wall to have a good view of my sight alignment and concentrate on not having it move while I pull the trigger.
What drills does everyone else have as their core drills ?--ET
- Draw and shoot.
