I need some advice. I am a long time shooter (pistols, shotguns and rifles) but I have recently joined the ranks of IDPA match shooting. I spend a couple of hours a week dry fire practicing (pistol) in the apartment, and generally, shoot at the range every weekend (dividing my time between types of firearms). The 2 ranges that I go for pistol shooting are crowded and one is an indoor range. I am starting a training journal this week with one of my goals to complete the DotW starting with week one and running all the way through.
Now to the advice part:
Several of the DotW require multiple targets, some at different ranges. The ranges I shoot at are the bowling alley style where I am limited to the one target backing (I have, in the past, stapled multiple paper plates to the backer to give me some transitions). What are some other ways that I can replicate the intent of the DotW while limited to the bowling alley style range?
Many of the DotW and much of the training advice that I have found rely on a timer to track progress. Will a timer work at an indoor range with multiple shooters firing randomly around me? If so, what is the best timer to get without having to tap into the 401k account?
Thanks for the help
