My drills when I am at the outdoor range and can setup targets are the following. All using a timer and my 5 shot J frame.
1) While "cold" (not practice or warmup) and using a timer, draw and fire 2 rounds from 5 yards at a 6" target. Goal is to get two hits in the black in under 2.5 sec. Do this 3 times.
I like to do this cold drill to get an idea of how I would do if confronted for real w/o any time have practiced.
2) Also from 5 yards, draw and fire 5 rounds as fast as possible at 6" target. Goal is 5 hits in the black in under 3.5 sec. This gives me practice on trigger and recoill control.
3) Setup 2 targets, 5 feet apart. From 5 yards, draw and fire 2 shots at each. Again 6" target and put all shots in the black. Goal is 4 hits in under 5 seconds. I like to work on having my eyes move to the 2nd target and have the gun follow me. It seems to work better for me than moving both at once.
4) Setup 3 targets six feet apart. Starting to the right of the right most target, on the buzzer move constantly to the left shooting at each target. Put 2 shots on the 1st and 2nd target, one of the last. Goal is all 5 shots hitting the 6" circle in under 7 seconds. Repeat but start of left side and move to the rights.
5) Practice one hand by raising and firing with both strong hand and weak hand. At 5 yards at a 6" target.
6) Finish with "warm" drill using a timer, draw and fire 2 rounds from 5 yards at a 6" target. Goal is to get two hits in the black in under 2.5 sec. Do this 3 times.
While I practice reloads during dry fire, I rarely practice reloads at the range. I probably should practice reloading my revolver more, but if I need to reload during a fight I am probably screwed anyway and should have gotten away from the situation.
