Hi there, i'm Matteo and i'm nearly 23 years old and i came from Italy, Rome. I got my gun license about 7 months ago, i use a beretta px4 in 9mm IMI and i want to improve my skills in shooting. Today i tried the FASTest and i resulted intermediate (about 9.5 sec). Can you please tell me some drills to improve my abilities ?
Cheers

Matteo

Lots of slow deliberate dry practice.

Get a good instructor to give you some feedback.

i would like to improve my velocity, keeping an high accuracy. I would like to participate in some ipsc competition in future.

Welcome! :)

One key to getting better that is often overlooked is to have a shot timer. Hard to improve your speed (velocity), if you don't have a way to measure it.

i use an app on my android (ipsc shoot timer, it's quite precise and it's free)

can you please advice me some dry drills to do at home ? I think that i'll do every day for about 15-20 per drill.

what is the difference doing the wall drill from extension or doing it from press-out ?

You may have gotten a pm, but just in case: starting from extension means that you start with your full firing grip built and the muzzle and sights on the threat*.

The press-out is a presentation that TLG has popularized. If you look at it: http://pistol-training.com/archives/3899 its last step is the extension of the gun from a compressed position to "extension" above. I've assumed that drills done from press-out include just that last step.

*not an alum, so hopefully someone who is will verify.
