I try and set 1 or 2 goals so I have a plane for the range. We all have the tendency to do things we’re good at and avoid the things that we’re not good at. I’m as guilty as anyone about this. =/
Lately when I’ve been going to the range I’ll limit myself to 100 handgun rounds so I make the most of every round. I also have been just loading 5 rounds into the 2 magazines I bring. I decided that the 2 areas I want to work on are one handed shooting and shooting from 10 yards and out.
The last session I started out at the 10 yard line and fired 10 rounds for a warm up. Then, I moved to the 15 yard line and shot groups of 10 rounds. Next was some work strong hand and weak hand only. I finished with 2 “slow” fire strings of 5 from the 7.
When I didn’t get the results I wanted I didn’t get frustrated. I slowed down and went over a mental checklist to make sure I was applying the fundamentals correctly. My groups got tighter and I finished strong. I have more work to do but I have a plan to get there.

He is an excellent speaker and his lectures are programmed to be slow enough for novices but fast-paced enough to maintain the interest of more experienced shooters.

Additionally, one of the instructors, Bayan D., explained why we were doing what we were doing. He incorporated his many experiences…As an instructor, Bayan was honest without being insulting, he identified what I was doing wrong and taught me how to fix it. As a result, I saw improvement out of a little more than a single box of .40 ammunition.

My wife did not seem as apprehensive when I returned to the car;including her in the introduction on firearms and safety seems to have placated her. She still does not like the idea,but now recognizes the need and the emphasis that was stressed on safety!
