Well, now that I am retired I do a lot more shooting than before for obvious reasons. I almost never miss shooting at least one time at either one of my two ranges I have near my home.
One week I shoot at my indoor range (also if its bad weather) and shoot just for accuracy only. The following week I go to my outdoor range and shoot for speed/accuracy or "life like situations". I lay my pistols down on the ledge in front of me, reach down quickly and pick it up and shoot by point of aim method at center of mass (not taking precise sight alingment aiming as this might take to much time in a crisis situation). You would be surprised how accurate you will become by practicing this method. I could not hit the broadside of a barn at first but later on, got really good at hitting my intended targets.
