Simulating nerves in training

[bdutton]

If you can partner up with a fellow shooter(s) you can try competition drills like:

- First to five 10s. Yell out loud how many 10s as each is hit. Intensity drill. Adds pressure but forces to stay in control.

- Guts match: Shoot 5 standing (can be done in any position) shots in 10 minutes while several people do anything possible to distract shooters. Cannot touch shooters or get directly in their vision.

- Ping Pong: Two shooters. Each shoots one shot. Highest shot gets advantage. Shoot again, if shooter with advantage gets highest shot, 1 point is earned. If shooter without advantage gets highest shot, advantage goes to that shooter. Shooter who gets to 3 points wins set. First to win 3 sets wins match.

- Survivor: 5 minutes sighters. Coach chooses next random bull (NPA change). Shoot 1st shot in 45 seconds… call out scores. Shoot 2nd shot in 45 seconds. Two with lowest score shoot a shoot off. High shot survives. Low shot is eliminated. Reset scores and repeat until down to last survivor.

Shooting good scores when Tommy Tactical is blasting away with his AR15 indoors prepares you well as far as maintaining focus goes...... Try it.

I practice in my backyard, where my paranoid next-door neighbor has an active Commercial Meth Lab & five rabid Pit Bulls loose . . . Top that!
