Post-shooting sequences and actions are better implemented, assessed, and ingrained in simulation exercises.
I would rather use the time I have on a range to get in "good reps", and work on technical skills.
When it comes to the Post-Shooting Sequence, position of muzzle is not a fixed rule: it needs to go where it makes the most sense. Sometimes that place is at the thing that needed to be shot, sometimes that place is at a high threat location away from the last thing that got filled in, sometimes its up high or down low based on other factors; its based on the constant flow of information and circumstance, and trying to come up with a "fits all position solution" guarantees little other than at some point it will be the wrong choice.
The uniform answer is that the individual needs to be processing changes and making decisions that lead to taking appropriate actions after each shot, based on the situation and circumstance, with an end-state goal.
