Fuck Drama, Come Watch My Movie and Talk Gun Shit!

Assuming you really did want some input and with a humble and friendly tone:


I think we've all skipped some more important points/questions.

First- what exactly was the point of the session? It looked to me like a bunch of un-aimed mag dumps. What did the targets look like? Did you have a plan for the session? what did you hope to get out of it?

You might benefit from some drills or a plan before going to the range. Check out Mike Seeklander's series of drills and books. Also consider drills like Dot Torture, FAST, Bill Drill, El Presidente, steel plate rack, etc. and use a timer.

Second- IMHO you need to pick a platform (Glock, 1911, etc.) and focus on it until you feel very comfortable. Shooting so many guns is counter productive to anything other than just dicking around and having fun... which is totally fine if that's the goal.


Finally, you need some 1-on-1 time with a good instructor (that is, someone proficient at analyzing fundamentals and communicating ideas to a student) who can tune you up as far as fundamentals. You never had a stable shooting platform, you certainly weren't using the sights to drive your shooting and you were just burning money doing bad reps.

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.


*BTW- I need to take my own advice for a lot of this, so please don't take this to be preachy or condescending.

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

My swim coach used to say that. Drove me nuts then, but I use it now.

At this point be honest I have no clue what I want getting out of each shooting session. Most of the times Bob and I were just plinking for fun, sending lead into Talon's berm, and celebrate after each bulls eye hit.

What I want? I only know I want to shoot Accurately and Fast. At least more accurate and faster than average potential "encounters".

Where to start? What to start? I have no clue what the fundamental is.

Unlike precision shooting at least I have had several lessons so I know what the basics are. But with handgun...I really don't know.
