Although I shoot at paper targets, I use the human silhouette type. I typically adjust the distance from 25 meters into 5 meters. I rapid fire through the first magazine, do a quick magazine change and rapid fire through the second mag.
I didn't just start doing this. It has taken several years to develop speed with accuracy. Yet, when I go to the range with members of my gun club, I notice that most of them fire one shot, put their gun down, and study what hole they just punched in the paper. Now, if one were strictly target shooting, that would be fine. However, I'm talking about a group of people that are supposedly training for self defense.
I've got to wondering how many are practicing for the real world as I do, or are you doing something different. What do you do at the range?
BTW, at the public range, we shoot from the bench. For those of us that belong to a private range, we are authorized to shoot from the holster which, to me, is a much better training scenario.
