For those where ‘rapid fire’ isn’t allowed (usually defined as more than one round per second), you can work on a rapid first shot response.This can simulate a home defense scenario where you’re retrieving your gun from a quick access safe.
On ranges where drawing from a holster isn’t allowed, very often you can substitute getting the gun out of a case, loading it rapidly, and shooting.For those people whose only choice is an extremely restricted range (no drawing, no rapid fire, no more than a fixed number of rounds in the magazine), here are some ideas to spur further creativity on your part: If a certain interest in the shooting community doesn’t happen to be their interest, they’ll use their power of regulation to prevent it from happening on their turf.Įither way, any restriction is going to affect how and what you’re able to train. Some don’t like rapid fire because it’s not done in Olympic bullseye or trap shooting. I once knew a board member of a gun club who didn’t want anyone to use even a vaguely human silhouette because he thought guns were to be used strictly for hunting game animals. What do I mean by this? Those ranges, usually run by gun clubs, restrict certain activities because they’re not somehow proper or polite. It’s the ranges with shooting prejudices I dislike. While I don’t like those kinds of places, I do understand their concerns. The liability part is somewhat understandable: The range can’t verify the training level of everyone present, and since most shooters are, in fact, untrained (or under-trained), they enact and enforce strict range rules to prevent accidents. The reason for these kinds of restrictions comes down to either liability concerns or shooting prejudice. Indoor ranges are the most likely to have these kinds of limitations. Most ranges restrict your activities in some way: don’t allow you to use “humanoid” targets require you to set up targets in front of one specific berm require you to always be at right angles to the targets, never shooting ‘cross lane’ don’t allow drawing from a holster restrict the number of rounds per string specify a specific shooting speed don’t allow you to do anything other than look downrange when holding a firearm and don’t allow shooting past a certain time or with the lights turned low. to shoot past dusk, or to turn off the lights to simulate low-light conditions.Īs I said, that describes precious few shooting ranges.to look behind you while safely holding a loaded gun and.to fire those shots at the fastest speed you could muster while still getting the hits.to fire as many shots as you deemed necessary.to set up targets in at least a 270-degree spread.If you have a range nearby that meets the following criteria, you’re in luck - and also in the minority. Sadly, there just aren’t a lot of shooting ranges that are conducive to good defensive shooting practice.
