Somewhere...
...there is a thread on this already. I am just too lazy to do a search.
KSFreeman had some really good ideas!
IIRC
- Feet about 3 ft from the wall and using fingertips do "push-ups" against the wall to build finger strengths.
-Jump Rope ( yes I am dead serious)
4 Rules of Safety apply to the following of course:
My tips include:
[ understand I have been known to shoot a shotgun a few times...]
-Using correct basic fundamentals with a Shotgun that fits, mount and dryfire 25 times a day, work up to 100 reps a day. I included wrist weights and weights on gun to increase stamina. In my more serious days [big competition coming up] I have been known to do 500- 1K reps a day. I knew my shotgun real well. I carried around the house, it was an extension of me. I also had stations chalked in the garage, and orange slivers [ all I ever focus on is leading edge of target] taped or suspended from garage. I have "shot" a dozen rds of skeet in my garage in one day.
-Handguns: Same drill, different plaform is all. Again correct basic fundamentals with a gun that fits. Unloaded gun, in my garage again, Draw from concealment, "shoot one" , re-holster, repeat. Dryfire Revolvers and 1911/BHPs [ hey I like old Smiths, 1911s and BHPS what can I say?]. Practice everything strong and weakhanded, from drawing from concealment, to mag/ speedloaders changes, to shooting down- manned drills, to over your head while lying on your back. Wrist weights with these are good too.
I did similar with rifles,admit I did more with shotguns since that was what I was/ am into more.
-Mike Plaxco shared this with me - works really well.
Take a broom handle, wooden dowel - whatever. At arms length in front of you "roll" the handle up" then "roll it back down" just as you would if a length of cord was attached and you want to roll it up/ down.
Get the basics first...
Then DO attach a cord, double check the correct basics with the 'roll', and roll the cord up and back down.
Now attach a weight, soup can with dirt, coffee can with partial dirt, coffee can filled up with dirt. If you are one of them high dollar folks - you can get a special wooden dowel and fancy weight.
Let me know how your fingers, wrists, arms, upper arms feel with the dowel trick after the first time. You want to roll up and down. You are using a lot of muscles and such in doing this, building stamina as well.
It ain't "just a stick with a pc of string" I assure you.
