In the past, I wrote about Elizabeth Buerlings journey to getting her CCL.
The first three parts of this series began with Elizabeths who is a college student background in partone.
In parttwo, we talked grip, trigger press and sight picture.
Treat all guns as if they are always loaded.
Never let the muzzle cover anything that you are not willing to destroy.
Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.
Every range has specific procedures; read them thoroughly.
If you have any questions, verify to get them answered before you begin shooting.
This is a little safety precaution, in case the shooter panics.
Once the shooter is comfortable shooting, add more ammo to the magazine.
Drills
Use the gum ball target, linked below, at a distance of 10-feet.
Do single shots from the high ready each time.
Do controlled pairs, which are two aimed shots from the high ready each time.
Do single shots and draw from the holster each time.
Do controlled pairs and draw from the holster each time.
While Elizabeth shot, I watched her trigger press and grip.
When she shot competitively in college, she used a very light trigger.
The Springfield XD-Ss heavier trigger pull took a little getting used to, but she figured it out.
I offered constructive corrections to her, since shooting with two hands is completely new to her.
Plus, its been a long time since shes had a trip to the range.
Whats Next in the Series?
Plus, Elizabeth and I will head back to the range for some new drills.
