Effective Outdoor Training
My live fire range time is split between an indoor range (with its relatively steep fees) and an outdoor range (low annual fee, limited availability). I like the flexibility that the indoor range offers...I can check/mark my targets as often as I want, change distances, etc. with relative ease. The problem (as we all know) is that indoor range time can get expensive.
My question is this: how do you guys maximize your training value at an outdoor range? Our RSOs usually run abut 20-30 minute sessions...meaning I can only change/mark targets that often. (I do usually set up at least 2-3 targets, usually at 7 and 10 yds). I've been trying to post multiple targets on each stand so that I can get a good feel for how I'm shooting.
Has anyone run across a particular drill/set of drills that makes the most of outdoor time? I don't want to go out and just shoot of a couple of hundred rounds for the fun of it (although it does feel good!) I want to make my live fire time as productive as possible - given the timing limitations.
Your thoughts are welcomed!
Thanks!
