Training with your "tactical" shootzgun

Here's a couple drill suggestions for you.
take them for what they're worth, but we have fun with them.
1. Helps work on your Sight, Acquire, Fire Process.
Setup: Requires 4-5 down range targets, and complete darkness (lights out on the indoor range or night time).
Shooter: on the firing line in the low ready position.
Helper: behind the shooter and holding a nice bright flashlight.
The Drill: The Helper will at random time intervals illuminate a random target for a 2 second count. The shooter must raise the firearm, acquire the illuminated target and double tap on target. Light goes out. Repeat.
Helping Hints: Start closer and then slowly move back bit by bit.
Take it to the next level: only load two rounds at a time and perform your reloading and/or mag changes in complete darkness.
2. Loading and shooting under Duress. - This one requires some exercise and getting your heart pounding.
Background: do some research on "Tachy-Psyche Syndrome"
h t tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachypsychia
It's hard to simulate but can kind of get close by getting your heart rate up and loosing your breath.
Setup: Firearm completely unloaded, ammunition on your body or on the table beside the firearm.
The Drill: Get your heart rate pinned, the best we've found is a shuttle type run, stairs are good too, but can be dangerous. Whatever you end up doing you HAVE TO get your hear rate pinned so you are gasping for breath.
Once you've achieved that get to your firearm, load it and put rounds down range on multiple targets.
Take it to the next level: Spread your multiple targets apart and engage on the move. As BBB says don't stop moving, and reload on the move. When you engage the spread out targes do them in the far extremities, so far left then far right, then next far left, then next far right and whittle your way down to the middle.
Let me know how many rounds you drop on the ground.
Have fun, and be safe!!
That may work in Alberta,but firing a firearm at night here in Ontario is a No No I believe............unless you have your small games license,and a night hunting license for racoons and a licensed dog too.
Only option would be your local indoor range, for night shooting.
There are ranges that allow for night firing in Ontario outdoors.
Yeah I know,but you you have your own also.....I had a friend In your county
fined for firing on his own property at night....just saying people have to be careful in Ontario on their own land.

Night shooting? Actually...
A few days ago I called around to find out the strait up answer for my area, WMA 60 Ontario (North Kawartha), and this is how it went.
1- 11:39AM; RCMP head office general inquires line: 1-613-993-7267
I was transferred to CFC Miramichi
2- 11:41AM; CFC Miramichi: 1-800-731-4000
I was transferred to MNR Ontario
3- 11:46AM; MNR head office in Peterborough: 1-705-755-2000
After being told that its illegal during large game seasons, and that outside of that its the CFO's problem. Transferred over to there.
4- 11:53AM; Ontario CFO head office: 1-800-731-400 Ext. 7503
I was told that this is not up to them, but up to local Municipalities bylaws.
5- 11:57AM; North Kawartha Municipality office in Apsley: 1-800-755-6931 Ext. 231
According to TODAY's bylaws, there is NO law prohibiting night shooting OUTSIDE hunting seasons in North Kawartha. However, if someone were to complain of the noise, that could be enforced. They suggested that I have a good backstop and be sure to know where I was shooting.
6- 1:15PM; OPP Peterborough Detachment: 1-705-742-0401
According to the constable, it is NOT allowed. However he failed to cite any specific law that states when asked. When presented with the above information, he became really confused (Imagine how we feel...) and could not give me a straight answer. In the end he believed the above information to be correct.
Moral of this: JUST CALL YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES!

Actually I was referring to CFO approved ranges that also allow for outdoor night fire. There's a couple around. Not many though.
