Training pace for results
Two main skills that I'm focusing on:
1. I'm working at a training pace pushing the speed to develop a faster, higher level of visual processing. To know what I can see and where the wheels come off. At this pace, mistakes will and do happen. That's the point. Two things that immediately reveal deficiencies in your shooting – speed and distance. Most things work when you're shooting slow and are close.
I want to see what mistakes I'm making at speed and then correct them at that same speed. Then, if and when, it's necessary to come off the gas to an engagement pace it will seem dramatically slower and more controlled while still being very fast and aggressive on the timer. This translates to a much higher level on demand skill set.
2. With the aggressive movement, aggressive times, vision barrier, and transitions, staying consistently connected to the gun is challenging. This is something I know can be a weak spot for me during longer courses of fire. Therefore, it is a focus during practice.
The only way to get better and develop a higher default skill set is to stay out of your comfort zone and push the pace to where you are uncomfortable throughout your practice.
