- Shoot one magazine at a pastor or quarter sized target. Focus on all the fundamentals and try to get every bullet to touch the pastor (not your preacher).
- Shoot at a paper plate or 8 ½” x 11” piece of paper from different ranges and try to achieve every round on the paper plate at the fastest speed possible for that range (it will be very fast at 1 yard and slower at 15 yards). Mastering this skill of balancing speed & accuracy is critical to your survival.
- Also practice the following skills: drawing from the holster, drawing from concealment, strong- and weak-hand shooting, close quarters combat shooting / instinctive shooting, point shooting, shooting from cover, shooting from various positions (squatting, kneeling, sitting, prone, on your back), shooting on the move, multiples target engagement (at different ranges and heights), etc.

Caution: Some of these techniques are advanced shooting skills. Consider receiving instruction to ensure proper technique & safety. Defensive Handgun Training LLC is hoping to offer the Handgun Tactics Course in the spring or early summer.
