[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 957710, member: 6064"] More to the point, Yes you can use the bases and stands. We even leave out some of the mini poppers for you to use, BUT be careful and don't shoot them closer than say around 15 yards as they have taken a beating and sometimes send fragments back. Have fun, but remeber please clean up after yourself, to include putting the target stands back so when we mow they aren't in the way and people don't shoot up the target sticks. While practicing please make sure your bullets impact into the berm as much as possible, not skipping half way down the bay. DO NOT SHOOT RIFLES AT THE STEEL!! How do the serious shooters practice and get better? While dry fire is important, your time at the range is also important. In general pick a few skill based drills ( like a Gun Site School Drill, Standard controllability test, Bill Drill etc.) Get a timer and do them. I wouldn't try all the fancy stuff...shooting and moving, crouching tiger, leaping dragon...etc. ( all ment in fun guys) untill you can make the base times of your selected drills, AND have AT LEAST 85% A zone hits. ACCURACY, ACCURACY, ACCURACY! Get with someone who KNOWS how to do it right and have them show you a propper presentation (draw). Don't go over more than 100-150 rounds in practice, after that you really aren't helping yoursef, and could be learning bad habits from fatigue. REMEBER a double tap is TWO seperate shots, each one aimed! Not one sight picture for two rounds. I like to start every practice with a know drill cold and strive for accuracy, at the end I like to once again do an accuracy based drill. Mag changing practice is a dry fire drill, and that is where you build the foundation, and it should only be reaffirmed in live practice. In general save some ammo to go home with, and don't pick up your brass with out a loaded gun on you. Hey you are out there alone and it is a ways from town. Just a thought for you! [/QUOTE]
