{"id":11,"count":74,"description":"Practice, as the saying goes, makes perfect. But practicing using techniques that are outdated or ineffective doesn\u2019t make perfect. In fact, it can harm your ability to deliver the shot on-demand when it counts the most. Here is where you will find various tips and strategies for practice at the shooting range and at home. Get the most out of every live fire and dry fire trigger pull with the guides in this category at the School of Guns.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor pistol owners, you\u2019ll find tips on how to perform classic drills like the Mozamabique\/Failure To Stop Drill, or the Dot Torture Drill or ubiquitous El Presidente, created by Gunsite founder and legendary firearms writer Colonel Jeff Cooper. If you shoot rifles, we have drills that will take you beyond the standard \u201cUp!\u201d Drill and turn you and your defensive carbine into an effective fighting tool. And let\u2019s not neglect the combat shotgun, either. While some may think it\u2019s a \u201cfire and forget\u201d weapon, the fact is, a training regimen that includes techniques for the shotgun can turn that firearm into a fearsome defensive weapon.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nKnowing what drills you need to practice is one thing. Knowing why you need to practice them and how to get started is another. The School of Guns specializes in giving you information that\u2019s at your level. We don\u2019t clutter up your mind with buzzwords or trade lingo. Rather, we try to teach you, in plain, everyday language, the reasons why practicing with your firearm is important. We know that going to the range is fun. We also know that going to the range and hitting your targets is even more fun. We don\u2019t want firearms practice to seem like you\u2019re eating your vegetables. Guns are fun, so there is no reason why practicing with your gun to be just a bit better can\u2019t be fun as well.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","link":"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/category\/practice\/","name":"Practice","slug":"practice","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nPractice
