That is a good drill as well but a different type of drill to practice a different skill.

That works too. A target that tends to work better for that is something like this, that has different colors, shapes, and numbers. When someone is calling out targets, that'll really keep you on your toes!

Ill be practicing tonight. Going to focus on just holding the gun steady in target. Might start keeping scope firing with my laser cartridge but just for practice. Recoil and the anticipation of recoil is an x factor at the range.

So using my laser cartridge...I shot 50/50 in the garage tonight. I surprisingly shot 5/5 support hand only.
So...somebody is flinching anticipating recoil...
Sig!? Whats my solution? Shoot one dry fire five drill?

Doing fire 1 dry fire 5 will help. Also mixing snap caps into my mags is very revealing of what I am really doing when the gun goes CLICK!
So if you know you're flinching/anticipating recoil in live fire, it means you need to get used to the recoil. Try doing some mags dumps at close range into the berm, like we talked about before. Go all out, balls to the wall, just keep the muzzle pointed towards the berm and don't go faster than you can follow through and return the muzzle back somewhere into the berm.
For you, that's probably going to be sub .20 splits, maybe in the ~.15-.18 area. Also, if you have a few hundred rounds to spare, do the Matt Burkett Timing Drills. Start off with the berm though.

I appreciate the suggestion. Strangely, I'm actually more accurate when I shoot between .5-1.0 splits than if i wait 1-2 seconds. Not sure if it's a strength issue, getting fatigued from holding the gun on target or if it gives me enough time to start thinking too much.
If I can't get out this weekend, I'll probably get out next. Hopefully I can post some better results.
I've been trying to dry fire for at least 10-15 minutes each night too.

For me at least, I find that to be the case. Sometimes it seems like, the harder I focus, the harder I try, the longer I take, the worse I do. Time, in that context, is sometimes more opportunity to second guess yourself, second guess the sights, etc.

45/50 today
For fairness sake this was shot indoors so I couldn't draw from the holster so i started at low ready. I did however do the reloads.

This drives me bananas. Same number of shots. 10 ring is smaller than than the circles on the dot drill!

3 yards until I can get 50/50
I am improving though. When I missed today...they were much closer to being a hit vs my previous targets where I threw shots.

Mine could have been better. Great drill though!

50 rounds. So 17/17/16 I believe. You just have to make sure you have the right amount of rounds before you shoot each string. On the last one I usually have to split up my rounds 3 and 3.
