I think that it is an accepted fact that shooting to a cadence(consistent splits) is important for maxing scores on certain drills such as an el prez or bill drill.
I suck at this, particularly on the el prez where my transitions are longer than my splits by a good margin. I want to improve on this, but I have a nagging feeling that I am putting effort into gaming drills and that the skill I am training is not terribly relevant to the type of shooting I am training for.
Is there an application for being to have spits=transitions in the real world? I understand that having good transitions and good splits are important, but is it important for them to be similar.
In the real world it seems that by the time you have shot your first target the world has probably changed. I probably need to relocate that next threat, and then reevaluate if it is still a threat before I can start shooting again. This does not seem similar to mindlessly transitioning to a threat evenly spaced 1 yard to the right of the first(like in the el prez).
Discussion on what the el prez (or similar drills) teach us may answer some of my questions. I am aware that these are drills and are not meant to be tactical scenarios.
