What are your 2011 training goals?

[J.Boyette]

Shooters,

What are your goals this new year coming up? Plan on shooting in matches, training classes?

Lets hear what you plan on doing.

[TANGO2072]

May - Heading to the former BW North for the Sniper / DM course.

July - Time for my Annual requal at Work;

Day / Night Rifle & Pistol

Tactical ( stress fire ) Qual course.

Qrtyly FOF Drills

Unfortunately, $$$$ tight, so its 1- course this year for my personal "shot-on-goal".

[TacBlade]

OK, I had all kinds of funny crap about coyotes and prairie dogs, but I know you are serious about this.  I would love to come to one of your schools to be schooled!!!!

Well I had my right shoulder rebuilt last august and my left shoulder rebuilt this sept. My training goal is to be able to pick up a rifle and hold it long enough to squeeze off a shot. <dontknow> I shot a little bullseye a couple weeks ago and I didn't embarass myself too badly. So I guess the right shoulder is doing ok. <thumbsup>

Got to renew my PA Act 235 by August.. thats it for me..

I've never used it for security work.. more for PI work..

I was thinking of getting my NRA LEO Training Cert.. (I have the NRA Pistol Instructor Cert already).. I dunno..

I have been thinking that the most profitable  way to improve shooting at this time is just to start keeping better records of practice sessions.  With that in mind I did a google (shooting diary) and came up with a printable page for a notebook which , I think pretty much covers all bases. The sheet covers Performance Analysis and as well weather, attitude, preparation, concentration etc. I think analysis or at least attention to how you get to the range can be as important as how you do after you get there.  We often pay too much attention to results and not enough to preparation.

I intend to start back shooting prone position smallbore as a prep for other stuff. I don't know what is done with AR in prone or other competition. Smallbore is available with a monthly match in the area and anything on a regular basis is better than nothing.

Well, quite frankly I'm a greenhorn as far as any training is concerned, I need to get my head wrapped around where to start.

[SWshooter]

If you've never had any formal marksmanship experience I recommend becoming a member of a club and doing some formal bullseye  shooting. Both NRA pistol and four position small bore rifle will teach you everything you need to know about sight alignment, trigger squeeze, and breath control. Once you master the basics than IDPA and three-gun will go a long way toward mastering the basic runnin' and gunnin' skills. After that you need to spend some money and attend a serious gun fighting school. Good coaching is the best way to avoid picking up bad habits that are tough to fix later.

I have a few things that I'd like to wrap up.

TTOS Combat Tracker Class

The CSAT Special Skills medical, which includes working on live pigs.

Finish my CSAT skills with my rifle instructor cert (I have pistol and shoothouse now)

And maybe a class with Pat McNamara on pistol.

I have a few things that I'd like to wrap up.

TTOS Combat Tracker Class

I've done Level 1 and Level 2 on that - very, very great training.

*nods*

Some 10th MTN guys outta drum have been suggesting it. There are applications to some of the cadets that might prove very useful for them later on.

I am looking at more long range shooting  but there are no long range locations near, have to travel few countys away to get over 478 yds.

thats what we have on  private owned land.  local club only has max of 200yds.  up state to shoot long range.  more 3 gun matches. I do not run due to knees but I still  just for me, never won against anyone but myself.

[RayGun19]

1.  Get to the range more.

2. Take Spartans Advanced Tactical Rifle course.

3. Get to the range more.

I have been working on being an Armorer for Glock, AR-15, Remington 870 & 700. Glock is done, next 870. I also want to become a NRA instructor. I take pistol and shotgun classes every year, plus I shoot IDPA and about to begin 3 gun shooting.
