Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of having a range plan for firearms training?

A range plan ensures that your time at the range is used efficiently, allowing you to practice specific skills, conserve ammunition, and track your progress objectively, rather than just 'farting around'.

How can I improve my trigger control and split times during shooting drills?

Practice drills like 'hammer triples' where you first establish a baseline on target, then practice at maximum speed off-target to isolate split times, and finally blend speed and accuracy back on target.

What is the '3R3' drill and how does it help with reloading?

The 3R3 drill involves firing three shots, performing a reload, and then firing three more shots. The split time between the third and fourth shot specifically measures the speed and efficiency of your firearm reload.

How should I track my performance during firearms training sessions?

Use a range plan to record times and split times for various drills. Then, enter this data into a spreadsheet to calculate daily averages and track your progress over multiple range sessions.
