I've got a plan for taking care of my physical fitness issues, but I'm having trouble figuring out how I need to progress with my dry practice and live fire practice. Part of my problem is that I lack a good shot timer (hopefully rectifying that this weekend) and a range where I can dry from a holster and live fire. Another part of my problem is that I've found myself just going through the motions and doing the same things over and over and over again on the range and in dry practice. So here are some questions:
1.) What sorts of things do you guys do to change it up and keep yourselves on your toes?
Maybe not the answer you're looking for but dry-fire will still help IMO
2.) Does anyone know of any good ranges in the Metro Detroit area or even outside that area that are more friendly to drawing from a holster or even moving outside of a static lane?
3.) Do any of you guys use a timer at an indoor range? If so, how well do they work and do you have any tips for getting them to work well in that environment?
They work, but other guns will interfere with them. Best for when you have the range to yourself if possible. Sometimes I'll use the timer for the beep and the par time beep when possible
4.) Do you guys have any good drills or exercises that can be done at an indoor range without the use of a timer?
Dot Torture, 3x5 card drill, 26662 drill, NRA B-8 at 25 yds, are all my staple indoor range drills. Plus you can work on WHO and SHO shooting.
5.) Are there any modifications to timed drills and exercises that can be done so that they can be shot from a low or compressed ready position?
See above
Thanks in advance!
