I've recently been watching Make Ready with Travis Haley - a training DVD. There were some useful tips and tricks in the DVD and some interesting drills.

 

I tried his Finger, Eyes, Feel Drill today at RTSP. The purpose is to be able to hit 5 x 1inch circles at 3,4,5,6 and 7 feet distance. I thought 3 foot would be easy but it quickly highlighted some inconsistent trigger control. Of the 75 circles (3 sheets of paper with 5 rows of 5 circles) my best result was 4 out of 5 circles being hit with 5 shots. My current goal is to be consistent at hitting a full sheet (25 circles) with 25 shots at 3 feet.

 

You can download the targets from his website, and he includes some others as well. I've attached a screen capture of the target I was using.

 

 

Definitely recommended as a good training exercise. I'll be trying this again.

 

Looks easy - it wasn't!
