If you can partner up with a fellow shooter(s) you can try competition drills like:

- First to five 10s. Yell out loud how many 10s as each is hit. Intensity drill. Adds pressure but forces to stay in control.

- Guts match: Shoot 5 standing (can be done in any position) shots in 10 minutes while several people do anything possible to distract shooters. Cannot touch shooters or get directly in their vision.

- Ping Pong: Two shooters. Each shoots one shot. Highest shot gets advantage. Shoot again, if shooter with advantage gets highest shot, 1 point is earned. If shooter without advantage gets highest shot, advantage goes to that shooter. Shooter who gets to 3 points wins set. First to win 3 sets wins match.

- Survivor: 5 minutes sighters. Coach chooses next random bull (NPA change). Shoot 1st shot in 45 seconds… call out scores. Shoot 2nd shot in 45 seconds. Two with lowest score shoot a shoot off. High shot survives. Low shot is eliminated. Reset scores and repeat until down to last survivor.

I practice in my backyard, where my paranoid next-door neighbor has an active Commercial Meth Lab & five rabid Pit Bulls loose . . . Top that!
