And it really isn't tactical training, BUT --

Practical shooting like 3-gun, USPSA or IDPA is a great way to practice under stress important and useful basic skills like moving with a loaded gun, shooting quickly and accurately, engaging multiple targets, target identification and quick target acquisition, moving and shooting or shooting while moving, shooting from unconventional postures and positions, reloading, etc.
