I shoot AR-15 in the service rifle class at NRA Highpower matches. I also shoot combat rifle ( rack grade M-16 ) on the Wyoming Army National Guard team. The combat matches require all rifle shooters to shoot in a pistol match and all pistol shooters to shoot in a rifle match. The pistol matches are shot with a rack grade Beretta. The matches I shoot in are only 25 meters, but are very fast.
I have never liked to shoot pistol and have never shot it very well. I have committed myself to change that. I bought a Beretta 92F and have been spending more time practicing.
I just want to ask you guys that shoot these fast paced handgun matches to give me some pointers. In service rifle, you focus on the front sight. I have to believe that this is also the case with fast handgun shooting. Am I right? Can you give me some ideas for practice drills. These are point value targets so I do need to hit center, not just the silhouette. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
