We used to list some shooting drills for people to try and then discuss here. I think we might all benefit from getting out and shooting a bit--this forum used to be mostly cordial, with members staying focused on the issues. Maybe some shooting would get us back on track. So...I propose that, during the month of June, we give the following drill a go:
TARGET: The tried and true B-8 (buy it or download it here:
https://targets4free.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/NRA-B-8-Target-Adapted-by-Targets4Free.pdf) (Remember, don't shrink it to fit your paper. The 8-ring is supposed to be 8" in diameter.)
DISTANCE: 7 yds or 5 yds or 3 yds, your choice.
PREPARATION: Holstered carry pistol loaded with 1 round in the chamber and an empty magazine in the mag well. A spare magazine in a mag pouch also loaded with 1 round.
COURSE OF FIRE: Select a distance for the target. From concealment, at the beep, draw and fire one round; eject the empty magazine, reload, and fire one round. BOTH rounds must be in the black (the 9-ring) to pass. Par time is 5.0 seconds.
VARIATIONS: If you don't own a shot timer, aren't allowed to draw from a holster at your range, don't own two magazines, or whatever--IT DOES NOT MATTER. Just get out and shoot! Take pics, post them here, and say what you did. Just go shoot. (Ideally, post what gun/ammo you used, the distance, whether you shot from concealment/open/low ready, and your time.)
OPTIONAL: You don't have to, but maybe we could be polite here. Ask questions. Offer constructive criticism. Most of us suck with a handgun when it comes down to it--no need to point it out. Let's see what we can do to shoot better and help others to shoot better.
