Index Card target

[Gundoggy]

Any one else shoot index cards???

I recall reading in some magazine that for combat purposes the index card drill is useful. Shoot as fast/as far as you can that you can keep all your shots on an index card before you go faster or farther away.

Works well for me and much cheaper in terms of target cost.

Sort of, I like to shoot them large playing cards. Just adds a little bit more colour the shooting experience.

The "Dot Drill" is one of the better ways to practice precision.

O.k. Lets start fresh. The Dot Drill. Take an IPSC target and draw 9 ( or 10 ) circles about 2 1/2" to 3" in diameter.
in a pattern like this
o
o o o
o o o
o o o
Set target at 7 yds
Drill goes like this
1- on the top circle fire a 6 shot group no time limit all shots must be in circle.( optional )
2- on the first row top left circle draw and fire 1 shot 6 times
3- on the first row top middle and top right circles draw and fire 1+1 one shot on each 6 times = 12 shots
3- on the second row middle and right circles draw and fire 2+2 3 times = 12 shots
4- on the bottom row middle and right circles draw and fire 2 shots on one reload and two shots on the other 3 times = 12 shots
5- on the second row left circle draw and fire 2 shots strong hand only 6 times = 12 shots
6- on the bottom row left circle draw, transfer, and fire 2 shots weak hand only 6 times = 12 shots
Only rule is ALL shots must be inside circle diameter.

Index cards and paper plates are your friends, the only targets you can leave on the back seat and still not be telling anyone that you own guns

I printed a bunch of center mass and head targets from official IDPA dimensions, and use those when practicing.
