Target transition practice on a static range

[einherjarvalk]

I shot a local outlaw match today and basically flubbed an entire stage due to being out of practice with the gun I chose to shoot with and also having poor target transition, which likely played a role in pulling a can't-miss shot low and out of the A zone.

One of the other shooters pointed out that I have a tendency to "dip" my gun as I move from target to target, and I'm realizing I need to drill that tendency out. However, I mostly shoot indoors, which means I get one lane and one target to myself with little to no lateral muzzle movement.

Are there any resources I can use or drills I can do within the constraints I have to improve my transition skills? My apartment is decently small but I could probably find a wall to stick some dry fire targets on. Live fire may prove a bit more difficult.

I’m not entirely convinced that your accuracy issue is related to your transitions, but to answer your question, using a dot target at 3 and 5 yards can help with transition speed in a static range.

I do the Casino Drill or variations of while timing myself. I use the TxT target sold at gunfun.com.

It's certainly not the only issue, but it's likely one of them. Nonetheless, it's something I need to work on. Thanks for the target, I'll make good use of it.
