Rimfire Transition practice

[kaiserb]

Yesterday I went out to the range for a few hours and worked on transitions between 2 and 3 targets. I am fairly slow on transitions at 10 yards with an average of 0.75 between shots (transitioning from target 1 to target 2 two yards apart (both hits 0 down)). I was burning through a fair amount of ammo trying to get my technique improved, so I changed guns to a rimfire.

I switched from an M&P 9mm to the Ruger Mk II. The curious thing is I found the transitions times were fairly consistent shot to shot, whether I was using the rimfire or the 9mm. At one point to further test the theory I did several transition drills with the Wilson 45 ACP, all the times stayed within 0.1 of each other. The drill was fairly simple and isolated the transition: fire one shot, transition fire a second shot.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this from switching between rimfire and 9mm/40/45?

At the end of the session I had an improvement of 0.2 on my transition time using the 9mm and the rimfire.

I don't see why it wouldn't be the same. Recoil isn't a factor for transitions.

The real test is, will you still have that .2 improvement next time you go out to practice.

You might try this transition drill.
