Saturday Range Time

I've been doing some dry fire practice this week, every other night after work to see if I can show some improvement.

Went to the range this morning to find out.

 First did 18 rounds of single shot at 7 yards drawing from concealment.

Best time was 1.51 seconds, worst was 2.19 from way over-confirming the target after a miss of the A zone into the C area of the target.  Average of the 18 was 1.69, and four missing charlies, all off to the left of the A-Zone. 

 Not bad for a warm up.

Then on to some Bill Drills.

Average time for 6 Bills was 3.57 with the fastest at 3.22.

Then back to some 1x7s.

18 of them.  Fastest was a flow-state hit in 1.17!  Everything just jelled for that shot - from reacting to the beep, to the draw, to the presentation felt amazing. That was rather happy-making. 

Average of the 18 was 1.61 with 4 of the 18 being charlies. So I was showing some speed improvement in the second round. 

My fastest times other than the solitary 1.17 were 1.40, with two of those smacking the A-Zone, and the best average time for an 18-shot 1x7 string was 1.57.  Lots to work on there.

More Bill drills, with the best one of the day finally getting into the sub-3 second range with a 2.95 clean, which was nice.

So the dry fire is likely helping quite a bit as my times are down form before.  Will track this a bit more as I continue to practice and we will see how it goes. 

After finishing 200 rounds through the PDP,  I switched to the Tavor TS-12 and practiced some ammo select drills.  I worked on switching the ammo type form what was in the primary tube to a different ammo selection. 

I now have the action sequence down to do Ammo Selection Drills for the Tavor.

The sequence goes: 

1. Feed substitute ammo into a non-active tube.

2.  Rotate non-active tube to feeding position.

3. Smack the shell carrier lever.

4. Work the action, which removes the current round from the chamber and replaces it with the substitute ammo into the chamber.

5.  Fire the substitute round onto the target.

I find I am getting quicker with it with practice, and that adds to this shotgun's versatility.

It was a solid practice session at the range.
