Recommend live fire drills for newb.

[anonymouscuban]

I will be doing my first USPSA match at the end of January. I finally have an outdoor range where I can practice action shooting. Last week, I practiced 1 shot and 2 shot strings from the draw. I'm consistent enough I think.

 

What are some of the things that newbs struggle with the most and what drills can you recommend that I can practice techniques to prepare?

 

I'm kind of thinking running with a firearm will be a challenge. Not so much physically; I'm in decent shape. But mentally and from a Dairy Queen prevention perspective. I have heard from plenty of people that they found that something in their head kept them from moving fast while holding a pistol the first time out.

 

I was thinking of setting up a start and stop cone. Run from start to stop and engage the target. Get used to decelerating into a shooting position.

 

Really would appreciate some suggestions. Next range day is this Saturday. Would like to get the most out my time there.

To get used to running with a pistol, try running with an unloaded pistol .   Cocked, but not loaded.

 

You cannot beat The Dot Torture Drill for practice with live ammo.
