I put this under Training because that seemed like the logical place but if there is another thread or location for this topic, my apologies.
I'm looking for tips on which step to take next in training with my firearm.
I have my license and spend a fair amount of time at the range and dry-firing. I draw from my holster with an empty magazine to build proficiency with that action.
What I'd like is to know what the next step should be to best ensure that I have sound safety habits and proper techniques so that myself and everyone around me will be safe. I see force on force and competition advertising but I don't feel confident enough in my abilities to do those safely just yet. I want to ensure I haven't learned any improper habits before anything else.
I want a course that bridges the gap between bench rest ranges and the more life-like simulations; a meet-in-the-middle type of course for someone wanting to move into force on force and advanced tactics later on.
I want to be sure of my draw and presentation techniques and learn tips and tricks to improve those.
Which NRA course would I be best suited to? Or would I do good to find a one-on-one course? Or, perhaps an introduction course to holsters and cover/ concealment with limited shots fired?
My location is essentially St louis, Mo.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
