***to test and enhance your shooting accuracy ***
As we say down here, “Close only counts in Horseshoes and hand grenades!”
Get good at shooting then moving. THEN, try shooting WHILE moving and really find out how bad of a shot you are.
I do something similar, only standing, crouching, prone.
Up, down, down, up, up, down, down, etc.
Until my mag is empty. Then I reload from that position (Reload from prone, reload from crouch, etc)
Since I live on 90 acres I also setup small targets throughout the woods in mangles of trees. Then I have to stalk around on the forest floor to get the correct angle on them. That exercises my “What’s going on behind the target” acuity.
Unless you are in a SOG, this is ammo wasting.
maybe fun to do it with a co2 pellet gun.
I train with my .45 for real world civilian use.
I can hit targets with ease at 10,20 and 50 yards, one and two handed but that’s not really a skill.That was learned by using thousands of rounds of ammo.
The real skill is point shooting at 20 feet and under, when you can’t use your gun sights,or even bring it up to your eyes. Most defensive shootings are at less than 10 feet to contact.
Mogadishu. Great drill. Much safer.
Another great drill. Place target at arms reach. Practice drawing and shooting two quick shots. Start SLOW. Gradually increase. When VERY GOOD put left hand out to keep target back. DO NOT SHOOT LEFT ARM.
Next to good solid cover (not just concealment), movement and distance are your friends in a gunfight. Practicing movement while shooting is good. This looks like a good drill to start with. In a real confrontation you’ll likely only be 1/2 as good as you are in practice.
Emptying 7 mags in 35 seconds.
It's not a drill per se, more of a skill maintenance routine.
If only ammo were tax-deductible.
Back in the day when I participated in IPSC/USPSA shooting, they were trying to come up with ways to “stress us” at the start of some of the courses of fire.
One guy came up with the idea of using an electric cattle prod as the “start signal.” It was generally believed to be a bad idea. :-)
