    I'll add a good drill here:

    Static paper with a mini-popper on each side. Shoot the paper twice, transitions to one of the poppers, back to the paper, to the other popper.
    (I set up the poppers so they don't fall)

    I try to get alphas on the paper and am looking to get a transition to the steel ~.4s and no misses on the steel.

    I let myself miss the steel a max of twice in practice - If I miss, then I'll add a penalty: shoot steel SHO/WHO or on a balance beam or something... I.e. something to pull myself back to the front sight.

    Paper is set at ~5' high at the shoulder... Steel is maybe 3-4' from the edge of the paper.

    I mix it up, sometimes paper on the left with steel to the right, sometimes paper in the middle, sometimes paper on the right...

    If it's not too much to ask Les, could you get some data (times) on A zone to A zone hits at different distances? Like 3,5,7,10 yards horizontally spread out but same distance from the shooter (like both targets set on the 10 yard line). If not its cool. I'm just trying to gather some times at known distances/targets from really good shooters (you!).

    I should be able to do this Friday (running dot drills and some SHO/WHO later today...)

    Just to clarify, do you mean transitions on static paper targets at 3,5,7,10 apart (horizontally) at some known distances? Like 5,7,10 yards?
