Honestly, most of my shooting these days is .22lr at reactive targets in the back yard. It's cheap and fun and easy. But when I decide to do some serious shooting I have a few standbys I like to go with.
One of my favorites is shoot, move/reload, shoot. It's nothing fancy, but I think it works on some basic skills that are neglected with run of the mill plinking. I have a really small berm in my back yard, so I have to be careful, but this is how I do it.
I'll set two objects on the ground about 10 ft apart equidistant from my dirt pile. I start at item one and shoot at my target, then move laterally to item 2 as I reload, then shoot again once I reach item 2.
I always start slow and focus on the mechanics of the movement and reloading. I then work on increasing the speed and keeping my eyes on the target and using feel and peripheral vision more and more.
What do you do?
