We are on this week and will be working repetitions on draws and reloads along with repeated accuracy requirements. While we only see the odd, draw and engage right away situations in IPSC, the draw is where you establish the grip on your gun, and that grip sets everything else up for the entire time you are shooting. From engaging targets to doing reloads and even moving through a stage with urgency. A bad grip will slow you down in every aspect and reduce repeatable accuracy significantly. By working at these skills, over and over, we build a solid foundation that allows for increased confidence and improvement of scores.

see you Friday!

Skills and Drills and Steel Challenge for this week

March 6, 2023 Newsletters, Skills and Drills, Steel Challenge

Signups are open for Skills and Drill this Friday and Saturday. Don’t forget, we have plenty of fresh air, heated fresh air, so you don’t get cold at S&D! Friday we are working fundamentals of pistol shooting, through drills and diagnostics. Our goal is to make your shooting repeatable, consistent grip, draw, mount, sight picture (or dot presentation), smooth controlled trigger press and proper follow through, are just a few of the things we work on. Saturday is geared towards our IPSC and other action sport shooting competitions. Transitions, reloads, multiple target engagements, cadence, shot calling and more, are worked on every week preparing you for matches and giving you the tools to self analyze your shooting. Stage breakdowns will be starting again soon as well.
