There are several variations to this, . . . but the basic goes like this:
Mark off 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 feet. Set up a target, . . . I like the 7 inch or so diameter paper plates, . . . big black aiming dot in the center. Shoot 10 rounds at 10 feet, . . . count only "hits" (anywhere on the plate), . . . add up your score, . . . 1 point per round. Shoot 10 rounds at 20 feet, . . . 2 points per "hit". Shoot 10 rounds at 30 feet, . . . 3 points per "hit". Shoot 10 rounds at 40 feet, . . . 4 points per "hit". Shoot 10 rounds at 50 feet, . . . 5 points per "hit". The ringer or kicker to this is that you cannot move to the next level until you have completed a full 10 consecutive hits on the current level. You also have to shoot in "blocks" of 10 shots. It can be one frustrating challenge, . . . especially if you drop one early on in the shooting, . . . trying to make up for it later on in the shooting series. Anyway, . . . I like it, . . . and once you start shooting 150's at the 7 inch plate, . . . drop to a 5 inch plate, . . . that'll make ya do better May God bless, Dwight

I have always shot sighted fire a lot, at most any distances off and on from 5yds to 100yds with my service pistols and revolvers, but some of my favorite drills, are some of the most basic for CCW.
Of course I have played all of the games with hostage targets in the mix, etc, but some of my favorite drills go something like this: set up one or two IDPA cardboard targets at very close range, like 2 to 5 yards and just practice drawing and firing as fast as possible, like it really counted. I want good hits, but speed is everything, and unsighted fire is often the order of the day. I want to practice like I expect it to go down, in a close range, whoever gets there the quickest with the mostests is the winner. I usually practice this one handed, sometimes from an odd angle in relation to my body, and often start the draw from under a typical ccw position, with my gun covered up to start. I practice this with various weapons from tiny back up guns to full blown 1911's, basically it just bottom line, get some lead in the air, ASAP! because this ain't no target match, I am talking about. I also practice firing as soon as the gun clears the holster, typical of the old speed rock, or at least with that idea in mind. I believe in practicing like I might have to fight. |

I practice a lot of double taps with my ARs and AK type rifles and then do double taps with my handguns. Then I practice 2 to the chest and 1 to the head. Later on I transition back and forth between my different firearms. I also deliberately space out my shots a little bit, about a hand's width or so. This slight spacing is thought in some circles to allow shock to set into the target's body a little quicker than 2 shots right on top of one another.
