what do you guys work on when shooting

form
grip
speed
reloading
target acquisition
focusing on the front sight
accuracy and or percision
draw from the holster
flinch
point shooting
breathing
failure drills
safety?
tigger control

everything?

whenever i go shoot i try to work on fundamentals as well as I try to hone my skills. i really try to practice everything. i guess really front site focus and speed

but whats you flaw, weakness, or thing your trying to improve upon? how do you improve

[whiplash]

right now, form, grip and getting familiar with the trigger and the length of trigger pull

next up is accuracy and breathing...

next up is firing in a stressful environment including failure drills

thats as far as i go for now...

[4ntvings]

everything

[50CalAL]

+1 Try to work on everything

[gcvt]

I've never really worked much on holster draw - don't think holsters are allowed at any ranges I frequent. I've practiced a little in the woods though...and at home.

[hamster]

depends on the gun.

Rem700 - Trigger control, breathing, slowing down the heartbeat.... all that accuracy stuff

AR15 - some accuracy (sandbag), double taps (off hand)

Handguns - speed on target acquisition, double taps, single hand (strong and weak), accuracy

[Axewound]

i agree, some guns are just different exercises, some however fall under the same catagory like trigger control. i left it broad

[eijjie33]

everything. including getting rid of stress.

[bill104]

For those of us in the Spenceville area, we focus on not getting shot, I guess that's like firing under stress. lol
Other then that I try to focus on everthing, that way it all comes together when needed.

I don't try to practice everything when I go to the range I practice skills or try to.

Indoor range with pistol
With mag pouch on belt and I try to drop the mags on the bench.

Load 2 shoot one reload 10 times.

Load 1 shoot 1 reload 5 times.

Sometimes load 2 shoot 1 reload with retention 5 times.

Loaded gun target 21' pistol just above bench hands meet, push out aquire sites get on target, while thumb is disengageing safety and finger is taking slack out of trigger. At full arm extension I am ready to shoot 10 times fire on the 11th. It should be an x ring. If not I start over.

10 rounds slow fire weak hand supported and unsupported reloads with a mag from the bench.

For accuracy I shoot 1/2" "dots" Slow fire 21' 5 rounds I used to beable to keep 5 rounds in the dot. Not anymore.
Weight legs different, stand awkward just try to keep concentration.

Outdoors with pistol I just try to shoot while moving and adjust speed per the target difficulty. This is expensive and I don't do it as much as I would like, plus it's not easy to find a place to do this. I practice about 5 to 10 shots from the holster. I practice that at home along with mag changes but hearing the boom is a good for practice.

Shotgun load 2 shoot 1 load 4 shoot 1 on a timer. I do that for 1 box of shells. Lots of loading and lots of unloading. The unloading kind of sucks.

Then 5 poppers load 2 shoot 1 load four shoot four. Caution it leaves one in the pipe. Unload before going down range. 5 slugs to no more than 10 slugs confirm my zero. I practice body position for my first shot. If there is an aray of targets that requires a large swing I'll start with my body pointing towards where I want to end up and wind into my first shot then my body unwinds into the following shots. I don't have to move my feet and I'll be stable the whole time.

Rifle. I confirm my hold overs, try a few different postitions. I don't practice hoser stuff with my rifle because it just costs too much.

That's pretty much it is that what you were asking for?

[Pugster]

Accuracy and speed.

[Axewound]

yeah randy something along those lines

[Jonathan Doe]

When you have accuracy, the speed will follow naturally. I primarily shoot X course natioanl match service rifles, small bore and bullseye pistol. Of course if you shoot PPC or combat shooting, you will have to have a speed, but without accuracy, speed means nothing.

[Can'thavenuthingood]

It seems I have a myriad of things to work on each time I go to the range. Maybe my mind isn't as focusable as it used to be. Focusable? is that a word? well it is in my world.

I have noticed after wondering why I am all over the target that I closed my right eye rather than my left.

Other times I suddenly get a flinch, don't know why but there it is, go ahead and giggle.

Then after shooting the Blackhawk and going to the .45 ACP I'll discover after a few rounds I'll begin to limp wrist it.

Rifles are a whole nuther story. Even at a hundred yards I'm better off just charging the target like a 19 year old Marine and poking a hole in it.

I need a scope to make that target look like a Buick bearing down on me.
During one of the Panoche shoots Mike Sage proved my barrels were not bent, it was me.

You can never get enough range time.

When shooting, I am trying to confirm that my dry practice drills are correct. My dry practice drills are designed to teach sight picture, sight alignment, trigger press, breathing, etc. I can dry practice at home as often as I want for free, then spend a little time at the range just to verify that it is working.
