Favorite Drills

[jwfuhrman]

Here is what I've been doing on the weekends and when I have time after work.

Start off with VTAC 1-5 drill. Run that 4 times.

Then I do a Modified VTAC 1-5. I put on target at 75 yards, the next at 50 yards and the 3rd at 25 yards. I stand on the 100 yard line and run the drill from 25 to 50 to 75. Run that 4 times.

I do the Modified 1-5 in reverse then 4 times(Start with the 75 yard target, then 50, then 25).

Finally I do what I call the Suicide 100.

Starting at 10 yards, I engage with my pistol a 2/3rd IPSC with 3 rounds, holster and run to 25 yards, 3 rounds with my rifle from standing, run to 50 and 3 rounds with Rifle standing, run to 75 yards 3 rounds kneeling, run to 100 yards, 3 rounds Prone, then I run back to 75 and repeat all the way back to pistol.

That drill gets your heart rate up, gets your really having to move and focus on what your doing.

What would be good drills to instill habit of engaging safety in between shooting at targets and disengaging it again after shooting the next target and on and on.

I have found my trigger finger unconsciously moving into the trigger well and forgetting to use the thumb to move the lever back to safety. Need to break this bad habit.

Dedicated repetitive training of the manipulation you are trying to instill. Start with deliberate, thought-engaged repetition and slowly increase pace until the desired action is habitual.

Thanks. I will get right on it.

When the reload has to be smooth.....the all important first shot is on target.....efficiently.

What target at what distance?

I will generally run a few sets of reloads with magazines with a random number of rounds (from 1-5) on "A zones" at 3 to 15 yards before a competition (USPSA) to get used to reloading from all of my pouches.

Failure2Stop.....I generally shoot this at 7 for classes. Utilizing distance as a "means to know one's limitations" the focus often changes to speed of shot over efficiency of reload....and lack of accuracy "just to get a shot off"....excellent teaching points throughout.
