Whether you are a new shooter or have been to multiple competitions, practicing your shooting accuracy and speed is essential to being better. Through simple drills, you can hone or keep your skills sharp. Grab your Bersa 380, a few targets, and a couple of boxes of ammo, and get ready to improve your skills through these simple drills.
The Dot Drill
The dot drill is relatively simple in concept but can be hard to master. It starts with picking a spot on the target to make your aiming point. You can put a dot sticker there as a visual marker. Start in close, and fire a few shots or even an entire mag. The goal is to hit on the dot each time, making every shot go through one hole. This is a great drill to start and end every range session as it can help you build placement consistency over time.
The Zatoichi
Zatoichi is a famous fictional Japanese swordsman who happens to be blind. Lock in your sight picture, close your eyes and fire a single shot. Keep your gun on the target, remove your trigger finger, and then open your eyes. You can see if your sight picture has moved and then assess your shot. Closing your eyes allows you to focus more on your trigger pull and sense of touch, both of which are crucial to becoming a well-rounded shooter. Be sure to open your eyes between every shot. You can do this with either your Glock or your Knights Armament AR 15, but be sure to stay close to the target. At that range, it is not the gun or the ammo but your skills that are put to the test.
The Bill Drill
Created by former IPSC U.S. Team Member Bill Wilson, who led the team to a world championship win, this handgun drill starts at 7 yards. Use an IPSC target and a shot timer. On the signal, draw from your holster and fire six shots. The goal is to get all the shots in the A-zone of the target within two seconds. You can also drop the time limit, which can help you see the elapsed time and time between shots are.
Penny or Cartridge Drill
Ideally, your muzzle should not rise or drop while aiming and shooting. However, many times the act of pulling the trigger will cause the muzzle to rise ever so slightly, causing the bullet to go off course. The penny or cartridge drill can help. Simply place a penny or cartridge on top of your front handgun sight. You will need a good trigger pull technique to dry fire the gun without moving the penny or cartridge.
The FAST Drill
The Fundamentals, Accuracy, and Speed Test can be done with your 1911 or LWRC rifle and works everything in the name. Start with a magazine with two rounds loaded. Draw your firearm, fire the two shots into a 3 by 5-inch index card, perform a slide lock reload, and fire the final four rounds into an 8-inch paper plate. Par time is 10-plus seconds for a novice, 7 seconds for advanced shooters, and 5 seconds for an expert. With practice over time, you can enhance multiple skills consecutively.
