A forum member has kindly and graciously invited me to join him Saturday at a range with facilities and opportunities to shoot far beyond what I am normally able to accomplish at my typical indoor 25 yard square range.
Can you suggest some drills I can try, so as to make good use of my time there?
Are there any drills, in particular, with objective scoring or time metrics, that are known as 'standards' on outdoor ranges, suitable for a new shooter?
For the purpose of discussion, my equipment will be a HK VP9 in an open top Kydex range holster, with a pair or dual mag pouches (my Production USPSA rig, in fact.). The range is apparently fairly open, and will allow drawing, rapid fire, etc, as long as I am safe. I will have my PocketPro timer with me and hope to get some practice in with it.
I've heard of things like Bill Drills, El Presidente, etc. but I'm seeing quite a few of them. I would like to focus on trying a handful of these. For example, is it worthwhile to try and 'get' a score on FAST, or is it as pointless for me as a Dot Torture is, since I suck so much right now?
Basically, I'm just not sure exactly which 2-3 Drills would be most useful for me as a new shooter.
My goals are, overall, for rapid (2-4s?) accurate (A Zone? 8" circle?) multiple (2? 4?) shots from holstered at short (1-5 yd), medium (5-15 yd) and long (15-25 yd) distances (I.e. USPSA or Steel Challenge context).
Thanks very much. Rich
