A neighbor, a local PD instructor, and I went to the indoor PD range a few nights ago. Two of us would face the rear whil the third set up a scenario. One shooter would back up behind a cardboard wall and be given a brief explanation, but not allowed to look. At "Go!" you solve the problem the best you can.
Some targets had knives painted on them and would advance (using the target runner system). Others were stationary.
I like this non-timed practice because you get out of the habbit of using verbal commands, taking your time to clear corners, etc. even in IDPA competition.
My favorite was when we took seven balloons and taped them in a line up the target. As the target charged you had to draw and pop all the balloons before he was on you.
Also did some draw, shoot 2 drills at 7 yds at an IDPA target. I record my times and hits so I can see if I'm getting better or worse.
