People who watched this movie would remember the scene where Schwarzenegger raises his firearm and shoots the bad guy who is holding his wife, right in the head (after they escaped the "torture room"), aiming in a split second. So I tried the same thing on the range, using the paper target instead of a bad guy. The result? I didn't hit the target. Tried this many times, some edge hits, but nothing towards the center.
I only managed to hit the target reliably when I made an effort to aim, but it takes about 2-3 seconds to line up the sights.
Any suggestions on how to improve when there is a need to aim quickly, for example when drawing from a holster?
