With my own gun, at 3-10yds, standing still, with good lighting, I'm now a pretty good shot. (Rapid improvement from dry fire exercises, and the wall exercise that someone posted to this board.)
So, I'm wondering what my next steps are, and how to get there?
Most of my shots are in the 9, 10 area, with a few out to 7 or 8. Trying to get them all in at 9-10, doesn't seem to be helping me make any progress.
I suppose I need to find a defensive pistol class?
Seems like near term goals are:
- improve accuracy
- learn something about shooting while moving or with targets that are moving
- learn to draw from a holster
- drill on tap, rack, ready (am told tap, rack, bang is outdated)
Are those good near term goals? Am I missing any big near term defense goals or steps?
How do I get there?
I also think I have safety 101 down. I'm not making mistakes like allowing my finger to drift onto the trigger anymore. I'm working on awareness of what's beyond where I'm pointing.
I don't think I understand safety 201 yet. I'd like to understand more about mechanical workings because it seems like it would give me a better idea of safety issues.
I'd also like to understand more about problems like misfeeds, stovepiping, etc, because again, it seems to be safety 201 related.
Please share any thoughts.
