Random Practice on Single Targets
Random practice, as opposed to blocked practice, requires the brain to retrieve skill circuits from your long-term memory. While you don’t get the feel-good of shooting the same target over and over 20 times, you’re training your brain to retrieve on the spot, which it will have to do on game day. Random practice can be singles or pairs, but in our experience, not enough shooters shoot single targets in diffe... Read more…
Shooters Who Want to Learn Too Fast
The more we watch the shooters we work with evolve, the better we get at communicating the little things that speed up that improvement. While each shooter is different, they all must make similar commitments to getting better. We have shooters who come to us who want to excel at a really fast pace. They want to skip to the advanced moves and information in the beginning. We typically tell them we’re already ... Read more…

We have coached hundreds of shooters to this level, and without exception, they all have flawless moves and mo... Read more…

You now practice pairs more than ever before, and you must be critical during practice. If you smoke the targets bu... Read more…
Score Plateau: 75
You are here because 75% of the targets in the round can be shot with three inches of lead or less, and the size of your pattern makes up for many mounting and pointing errors. But if you have learned to move and mount the gun, you won’t spend much time here. Now you have to learn sight pictures (there are only two) and train to minimize the amount of movement during the shot and begin shooting targets with l... Read more…
