I am new to shooting and my primary interest is self defense and home protection. My handgun is a GP100 four inch barrel in .357. The trigger is light enough in double action to allow clean smooth trigger pulls.
At this point, I have fired about 1000 rounds and I am consistently hitting groups of four inches at ten yards. This is offhand, single action, and one careful shot at a time. My goal is to hit groups in the 4-5 inch range at 25 yards in quick succession.
My question is what would you recommend that I learn and practice and in what order to get me there the quickest and with the least ammo expended.
I am a range member at my local club and I can get to the range about once a week. As a range member ammo and targets are my only cost.
