3 Ways to Modify Range Drills

By

Are your drills at the range starting to feel too easy? Have you gotten used to shooting your Block 2 M4 and want to increase the intensity of your drills to make you a better overall shooter? Whether you’re competing soon or just trying to improve your skills, there are a few ways you can modify your drills to make them more challenging.

 Add In Reloads

Instead of using a full mag and finishing the drill, you want to introduce interruptions. The easiest way to do that is to add in reloads. Purposefully load in only a couple of rounds to force yourself to reload. This also helps train your muscle memory so you can reload faster. Many drills focus on these reloads, but introducing them to other drills with a new focus can force you to adapt. If you really want to add a challenge, have someone else load the rounds, so you won’t know how many rounds are in the mag before you need to reload.

PCC 9MM

Use Your Off-Hand

Many newer firearms come standard with ambidextrous controls. You might pick up a 9MM PCC, and you can release the bolt or mag from either side. This can be handy when you try shooting with your off-hand. It can be a challenge to hold the gun in your opposite hand, but it might be required in some competition settings. You never know when you’ll need to shoot with your off-hand, so add it to your training routine.

PCC 9MM

Simulate Malfunctions

Simulating malfunctions has a few benefits. First, if a malfunction happens while you are at the range, you will know how to clear it safely. At a competition, knowing how to clear a malfunction quickly can keep you in the game instead of costing you precious time. Simulating this is easy enough, as you can just put a round between the bolt and an AR15 upper receiver.

How much thought do you put into your range targets? You likely think more about the firearm you’ll shoot or the type of ammo you’ll bring. However, range targets can have an impact on your overall experience. Your options may be limited at an indoor range, but if you’re shooting your M4A1 at an open land range, there are several target types to choose from. Here are four to consider. Run Various Drills with Different Paper Targets Paper targets are the most common target type. There is a wide variety to choose from, whether you’re looking for a classic large bullseye or a target meant to help zero a scope. Another classic is the MOA 1-inch black square in the target. With the target 100 yards away, you’re shooting at one minute-of-angle. Missing a square by an inch at 100 yards means you need to adjust 1 MOA in that direction. Most scopes have 0.25 MOA adjustments, making the math pretty easy to figure out when you need to zero the scope on your Mark 12 rifle . Whether you’re shoot...
