Hi -
New shooter here. I am getting pretty confident with my ability to practice slow-fire from a variety of positions now.
One thing I am not sure how to do is practice doubles / follow up shots.
My instructor gave me a drill. Hold pistol low (on table, pointed down range). Look away from target. Look at target, raise pistol, release safety, bang-bang, engage safety, lower pistol, look away, repeat.
He also told me to practice keeping my eye on the target during reload (reload by feel). A little in conflict with the above, but I suppose by that point you are in the middle of the encounter, so there is no looking away!
What I don't get is should I always just look at the target (keep that in focus), and sort of "point" the pistol (no real aim), and bang-bang?
Should I be focusing on the front sight? Keep target fuzzy?
Should I just look down the top of the pistol? Keep target fuzzy?
I am not sure how to practice this drill. I bet IDPA would be fun in the future. I don't want bad habits.
I am interested in input.
Thanks.
