I've been doing more and more with airguns at home.
Most ranges have rules and restrictions that prevent practicing in a meaningful way.
The "practical" competitions provide some good stuff, but getting to one may not always be convienent.
But with the airguns, I can practice whenever and however I choose.
Like setting up targets all over the house and hunting them down, even in the dark.
Kind of hard to do with a .45.
Or I can practice defending against a car jacking, and shoot bad guys from the driver's seat.
Best done in the closed garage, though.
I started using airguns as just an alternative during bad weather, but it's a really effective and handy way to practice.
