The last two Sundays were spent at the Milcun range (between Minden and Lindsay, Ontario). These were training days. First day was devoted to shooting steel. The second day was paper targets doing training suitable for military and police.

My basic accuracy, thanks to coaching by Ketih Cunningham, improved noticeably. This was a combination of his coaching and the fact that we shot each exercise over and over, until we got it right. I would estimate I fired about 400 rounds each day. Cost was only $50 a day.

In the picture below, we are shooting at a moving target that appears in an opening. As it passes, we have to fire two shots at our target. The targets have a slow speed and a fast speed. on the last pass I got all A zone hits, with half of them in the black aiming mark.

For those of you within driving distance of the range, this is a very worth while training opportunity. Google Milcun Training

Mil Cun Linda Miller and Keith Cunningham They have a very busy schedule of military and police that attend week long training sessions on handgun, carbines and sniper shooting. There are some training days, like the ones I attended, and some open competions, that I might shoot as well.

That sounds like a great weekend, and a hell of a lot of fun! Love the idea of a moving target, but I think I need more trigger time before I attempt that :)

We started off on the big white targets you see in the picture. After some practice I could get 10/10 on the black centre. At the end of the day, we switched to movers. Once we were shown how to do it, it was not all that difficult to stay in the A zone.

Training is critical for a beginner, because you are taught the correct way to shoot, so your future practice is reinforcing the good technique, instead of getting good at shooting poorly.

And these courses were fun, too. Only 8 to 10 in a class, so lots of shooting and lots of coaching.
 
We have been very fortunate to meet a local CGN'er who has been teaching my wife and I whenever we can meet up, great instruction from a competent teacher is invaluable in our learning curve for sure. Much easier to learn properly than fix self taught mistakes,lol.
