JThompson Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 One paper target on each side of a plate rack from 25yds I work draws turn draws movement strong and weak all from that area and with those targets. Love the rack... you rush you miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 What is your favorite drill?, Specifically, the one most significant to your improvement I don't think having a "favorite" drill is a very good idea. Strive to keep your practice routine as constantly varied as possible. So in essence, make sure your "routine" is not a routine at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) What is your favorite drill?, Specifically, the one most significant to your improvement I don't think having a "favorite" drill is a very good idea. Strive to keep your practice routine as constantly varied as possible. So in essence, make sure your "routine" is not a routine at all. Agreed...but I was encouraging people to share some drills they felt made a significant improvement in their performance—for those of us who need significant improvements in our performance—to add to our practice regimens. Jake, I saw you shoot at the Mississippi Classic a couple years back Anything specific skill-builder you'd like to mention that no one else has covered?

bkeeler Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I currently like these drills found here. http://www.shooting-performance.com/40.html When I first started the Bill drill was a real eye opener 7yds,10yds,20yds.....(still is) although I haven't done it in a long time.

Calmwater Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have been shooting groups at 25 yards for maybe the first time ever. Hopefully it will help me overcome my ability to MISS REALLY FAST!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Anything specific skill-builder you'd like to mention that no one else has covered? I'm actually working on a program that is based on stressing the central nervous system before you shoot unsing the principles of coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance. If it works the way I think it will, the intensity will be at a high enough level to trigger better adaptation. Since shooting is directly controlled by the central nervous system, I figure there are 2 ways we can stress the intensity. A - Stress the CNS before you shoot and B - Increase the area of acceptability while you shoot while still making you goal to shoot Alphas.

boz1911 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Very good thread, Curtis.I wish I could say I really practice. I should dry fire every day, but just cannot bring myself to do it. I'll do ten reps or so and get bored and put it away for a month or so and then do it again. I have just started using a .22 cal. top-end on one of my Single Stacks and I am seeing improvement after two sessions. I draw and shoot for an "A" at ten yards and when it is successful, the next draw I shoot for two. If that is successful too, I'll go for six"A" zones on the next draw. Every string is timed and my splits are checked, too. This routine holds my interest and it gives me something (timer results) to check my progress. I saw where the Japanese shooters were practicing with Air-Soft all year and then coming here for a big match like the Steel Challenge. They would practice with a real pistol maybe six weeks and all of them shoot well. My thought is if it works with an Air-Soft, then surly it will work with a .22. Buddy Took me forever, but I finally became proficient shooting weakhand after several thousand rounds of shooting 22's. Don't give up on dryfire, I dryfire 20-25 minutes every morning. I can't dryfire for hours like some guys, but these short sessions while listening to the radio and having a cup of coffee don't seem to bore me. The more you do it the more creative you'll get, also helping with the "watching paint dry" part of dryfire practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco101 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have been seeing improvement shooting a reduced size plate rack. It has 5 3 1/2" plates and a 3 1/2" reset plate. If I shoot that as fast as I can shoot all hits, I get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I did for a while but my wife politely requested that I stop leaving the pellets all over the garage. So I put the toy up. Roman, That is why God invented leaf blowers. That and a little downward slope in the driveway and all is golden. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
