Hey all -
a relative noob to pistol firing. I shot rifles a bunch in my 20's, but almost all target practice, and no scenario / real world training mindset.
I have a SS P365 (to be my EDC) and a Beretta 92x. I'm going to the range 2-3 times week, and shooting 100-150 rds. I've been reading, and talking to instructors, watching training & competition videos and whatever else I can soak up.
My hope for posting this - to get good advice on how to become a more precise and quicker shot, so I can be confident and composed if things go to he11.
Things I'm focusing on:
- Always taking at least 2 shots in every aim. I hope this gets me used to dealing with resetting after recoil. Managing recoil is another thing I'm working on
- Never shooting (aiming at) the same points on a target 2x in a row. I'm using targets with different shapes, colors, numbers on them, looking down trying to forget what's there, pick a color / number, and then come up to set and shoot at what I picked, and 2 rounds at each part.
- I already see improvement, and 2nd / 3rd rapid shots are getting more accurate, and recoil has less impact on getting set again.
- On a narrow range there is only so far I can push this, but I'm trying to push my abilities to shoot without delay, do it confidently, accurately, and under control.
- Hopefully you get the gist of where I'm going with this. Any other tips (other than going to an outdoor tactical range?) to improve on this?
TIA, and be nice....
