FrankC3803 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Nice simple set up. It covers an area that causes most new shooters a problem. Perfect for both rifle and pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Post Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Very nice. I'll use this drill soon, good practice. On a side note, wouldn't it be faster to shoot the center array then the sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 So, when you show up at the match, your task is to solve the problem of the most efficient routine. Basically the problem of eliminating all of the gaps. To do that you need to walk onto a stage with a set of skills you are highly proficient with. Like a tool box or a bag of clubs. The point of the drill is to help provide those tools, not to teach the fastest way to shoot a stage. If I were shooting this drill as a stage, I would engage the center targets first then go deep on the right, then shoot the targets on the left while advancing.

MarkCO Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Also, you have to know your metrics, meaning the times it takes to do certain things at various distances, steps to effect a reload, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Had this vid come across my facebook page. Kieth Garcia with an awesome transitions drill. Worth watching and then hit the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Was out for a long over due pistol practice yesterday. I've noticed that the camera adds 20lbs and a blue shirt is not very slimming. Or maybe I need to spend some time on a tread mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connermorrow Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks for the videos, I have been looking for drills to do when I go to the range. Can find tons of dry fire routines but not as many live fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Know of any good videos for shooting on the move? It seems that people like Horner gain most of there time by never posting up in any one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Shooting on the move can be practiced some in dry-fire, but is one of the skills that really only improves significantly by doing it at the range. Stay low, articulate at the hips and compress the upper body. Watch AMU videos... They do it the best consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thanks Mark, that sounds like the conclusion I'd come to after watching them guys kick ass. Now to the backyard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonytheTiger Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Anxiously awaiting this walking/shooting video Mike. I spent a couple hours stomping around my basement the last few days and my takeaway so far is that I can put my focus in one of two training directions: I can walk slower and with a deliberately planned pace I can minimize reticle movement. It also seems to help if I time my shots right before a foot hits the ground as there's a consistent brief moment of a steady reticle. This seems pretty slow but potentially accurate. The second direction would be to walk quite a bit faster, still trying not to stomp though, and time my shots to break as the reticle passes the target during the fairly consistent up/down of my sights. This seems to make for way slower splits and much more potential for a huge miss. Buy I think if I can get the timing down the increase in movement speed will more than make up for the decrease in shooting speed. But this is all conjecture from a relative newbie stomping around his basement, now I want some smarter people to chime in and point me in the most productive direction, or if I'm way off base they can wipe my slate clean and I'll start all over.

co-exprs Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's all about the A zone. Targets at different distance have larger and smaller A zones (in aspect). A target only 5yds away will allow for more muzzle movement while staying in the A zone. A target at say 15yds will have a smaller A zone, requiring more precision. The closer and more forgiving the target the faster and sloppier you can be. I have several movement drills I like to do and one of them involves acceleration as targets get closer.
