  • Handguns - Drills - Receding Bullseyes

Teaches:
accuracy, best shots at various ranges, settling into a shooting flow.

Requires:
indoor range, 8.5 x 11 paper, bold color marker.

Drill:
Put a 1.5" target dot on a blank sheet of paper and put it as close as the range will allow. It should be relatively easy to put your rounds straight into the bullseye with no flyers. Fire a small number of shots, then move the target back just a little. Keep moving the target back, bit by bit, to the point where it's difficult to keep it in the bullseye.

You may be surprised at how you "lock on" to the bullseye doing this, to the point where you might shoot a good group at longer distances than usual. You might also become more aware of the shooting factors that degrade accuracy and make it difficult to shoot precisely at longer ranges.

Over time, you may find you can move it further and further back-- it's a good way to see your own progress.

Variations:
The outdoor variant is to progressively retreat from your target.
