I’ve had an LTC for a little over 6 years now, and I’ve been shooting for 7. I built a lot of skills the first couple years but then improvements started to get less frequent and much more subtle. For the last twoish years, I’m not sure I’ve improved much at all.
It’s not a fun thing to say, but I feel like a pretty mediocre shot with a pistol and probably pretty poor with a rifle. I’m a safe shooter and know well how all my guns work, but I’d like to try and build my skills.
I’m hoping for a little feedback on just how to keep getting better:
For my pistols: I can get really nice groups if I shoot slow and really focus but if I try and move to the next level and add what I consider intermediate skills (shooting faster, adding a reload, drawing from concealment) things really fall apart. How can I start to mix in additional skills or build on what I know?
For rifles: I’m pretty bad at this point, as in not really having a groups, but all my shots are usually on standard pie plate size targets at 50yards. I’d like to tighten up my groups and like my pistols start to shoot a little faster and add some additional skills like reloads.
I know a lot of responses will be to pay for some professional training, and I’m not opposed to it, but I’m mainly looking for diy at home kinds of drills or things to focus on.
