Hi folks,
I sometimes feel that my focus wanes after the first few shots of a magazine, and that once I've settled into the target, I develop a rhythm of firing the gun that can detract from the focus on proper technique and target acquisition for each shot. I want to end every session feeling like I've genuinely refreshed and strengthened my shooting skills, not just burned through my rounds (and money!).
What is your routine at the range? Paper targets or reactive targets? Multiple targets or one at a time? Shoot alone, or with a friend? Have a game you play to add a competitive element? I like the feedback of shooting at clay pigeons or cans, and the fresh target acquisition for each shot that this sort of shooting entails. Anyone use those self-healing targets that bounce and tumble around when shot?
I shoot at a public range in gravel-pit style shooting areas, so I would like to take advantage of the variety of options this allows, in contrast to a lane-style setup. I usually staple six or eight reactive-paper targets to a board and have at them, using one target at a time per magazine (which I load about half way to keep the pace of consumption down). This feels stale.
I recently pulled out my P95 after not having shot for a while and took a friend shooting for the first time. I had such a good time that I can't believe I let it go so long between sessions!
