Handgun training drills that you can do by yourself

**TGO David** · 05-20-2007, 09:08 AM

Here is an Adobe PDF document that contains some good handgun training drills that you can do at the range with only your brains, your handgun, targets, stopwatch and plenty of ammunition.

Tennessee Gun Owners makes no claims to the accuracy of the information provided in this document. We did not produce it, I am just redistributing it here because I think that it has tangible educational value.

Shoot safe!!!

Thanks,
That is some very good info.

Useful. Thanks.

Only drawback: Did not allow me to get on one of my rants about how so many so-called "drills" are useless because they do not resemble real life in any way, shape or form. Oh well, I'm sure I can find something else to rant about elsewhere...

These drills are actually really good. Many of them are common practice for shooting sports like USPSA and IDPA.

Good drills, thanks for the info.

Thankfully the range I go to doesn't mind me practicing shooting from a draw so long as the range isn't crowded. I'd rather do this kind of target shooting any day versus seeing how many times you can put bullets through the same hole at 7, 15, 25 yds and the fear of reprisal should a holster be anywhere on your person at that time.

IMHO, the fewer range rules, the better.

What I need is a place to practice USPSA stages. I'd love to have a place outdoors where I could set up targets and barricades and practice. Maybe one of these days I'll own a couple of acres of land outside the city limits somewhere.

I have three acres out in the county, but it's not flat and anywhere I shoot would go into the neighboring land. Now my drunken former neighbor did shoot that way into the field where the horses are. I think he's on the run in Las Vegas these days.

Of course I do have the tree house on top of the ridge overlooking the Interstate that has the nice gun mounts. JUST KIDDING!
