How significant is practicing shooting tight groups for your range practice?

I go with at least 10 mags stuffed. 20% range sessions spent on groups. The rest is rapid fire fun. Then gtfo

I actually did this once. Just to have fun blasting. After the 2nd time, I realized I should go with the magazines already full, saves time at the range when you only get 1 hr, don't want to waste it reloading. good advice.

You need an Uplula.

Accuracy comes with practice.

Keep shooting from the draw. Focus on a good front sight picture. Proper trigger technique. Accuracy will come.

Speed is fine....but accuracy is final.

Also: Shoot 2 handed / 1 handed / left handed if you're a righty

And look up Tex Grebner (U-tube) and his fast draw practice resulting in him shooting himself in the leg...and how to avoid such a catastrophe.

Old West gunfighter quoted as saying "It is not the first shot that wins the gunfight. It is the first hit."

Good point - I always shoot at least a couple of mags left handed. Good practice.

When I shoot with the weak side, everyone ducks for cover.

I turn targets over, and shoot the back.
I'll place several 1" dots to aim at.

I’m also a huge fan of dot torture as a practical exercise.

Miss one shot and you fail. No exceptions. The Dot Torture Drill is an excellent marksmanship drill that forces you to focus on trigger control.

Man! Thanks for the dot torture suggestion. It never even occurred to me to look up drills lol, but now that I know, I found Lucky Gunner Ammo has a 17-drill playlist on youtube. Can't wait to go tmr to practice a few of these on these targets I just drew on the back of a used target. You can see a few dot torture targets on here haha.


Gonna try to shoot some 2-in dots at 3 yds.

This is what I use, then send it to 10 yds.
