Hey everyone,

I'm looking to structure my range sessions a bit better and would love some input from more experienced shooters here.

I want to build a shooting routine as a starting point for each training session with my pistol.

I have access to an indoor range with distances from 5m up to 25m, and I'm usually working with either 50 or 100 rounds per session. I'd like to build a routine that balances fundamentals (grip, sight alignment, trigger control) with some variety so it doesn't get repetitive.

At the moment i'm doing:

5/10 Meters depending of the other guys on the range:

10 rds single shots, focusing on trigger control

10 rds double shots, working on a good grip after the first shot

10 rds 2 targets 1 shot each, working on a good sight picture after switching targets

20 rds doing whatever, mostly working my way up towards the 25m/increasing speed/working on reloads.

I would love to hear what you do as a starting routine each training.

Pic for attention

i didnt get a vid today unfortunately😞

First time handling a real gun and shot at 7 meters distance, 25 9mms, 25 45. How do I look as a first timer?

Hi everyone,

We’re a small team from Finland building BangTracker, an app that started from one simple idea:
A shooter shouldn’t need five different apps to support one hobby.

Right now, it’s common to use separate apps for training logs, dry fire, competitions, firearm maintenance, and performance tracking. We want to bring everything together into one platform that actually makes training more structured and progress easier to follow.
Some of the core features include:
- Training planning
- Live fire & dry fire logging
- Custom drills/stages
- Competition mode
- Firearm maintenance & parts replacement log
- Detailed statistics and long-term progress tracking
- Smart analytics that help you understand how you’re improving over time

These are just the core features. We have several larger and more unique features incoming that we’ll reveal as we get to launch.

Because we are from finland.
We’re now looking for a small, limited group of English-speaking beta testers who are willing to use the app, test its features, and give honest feedback while it’s still being built.
You don’t have to be a professional competitor. Whether you’re into USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, recreational shooting, or simply enjoy improving your skills, we’d love to hear your perspective.

If you’d like to help shape the app from an early stage, send me a DM. Since we’re keeping the beta group intentionally small, we’ll be selecting a limited number of testers.

Finally, I’d love to hear one thing:
What’s one feature you’ve always wished a shooting app had, but haven’t found anywhere yet?

No one is perfect and that’s why we train.

Drill #1, 3rd time I presented unloaded. SMH.

Drill #2, completely lost my dot.

Just me struggling to do better.

So at most ranges, you can shoot from 5/7/10/15/20/25 yards.

What im trying to do is hone my practice while im at an indoor range.

What i want to know is when do you start trading accuracy/speed??

I would assume youd practice speed for 5/7/10 with bill drills and Mozambique, but at some point I imagine people aren't going for mag dumps at farther ranges. What would "that" range be?

Tldr - if youd consider yourself an expert with handguns, what range do you think its ridiculous to go for speed?

I went shooting for the first time last month and honestly really enjoyed it. I’m 35 so I know I’m pretty late to it, but I had a good time and want to keep going and actually improve.

I did a session with X Sport and used a few different rifles, mostly AR style and some bolt action. My groups weren’t great but I wasn’t completely lost either.

I want to get better at shooting and I’m planning to go more often. What should I focus on first when starting out? How important is dry fire practice compared to just going to the range? Also, what’s the best way to work on trigger control and breathing without developing bad habits early on?

I am shopping for a 280AI. I have narrowed it down to 4 manufacturers. Fierce, Weatherby,, Kimber, and Christensen. I am looking for opinions on each of them. I am leaning towards the Fierce but know very little about them.

I do 10m air rifle. Last year, when I started shooting EST, I started using 4.49 pellets thinking it'd give me better results, but now some club matches are usually held on card targets.
I don't know which one to choose, both are basically giving me no difference. I'm completely comfortable with both 4.49 and 4.50. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me why they even have these two different sizes and whether one is actually better or not.

All at just over 10yds, been a while since I've shot, I think New Year in desert was last time, and that was mostly my lever actions. approx 4-5 mags in each. 2 mags head / 2 mags body.

So. Top left going clockwise. CZ 75BD, Beretta 92FS, CZ P-01, Sig P226.

Both CZ's have SRT and short reach triggers, flat triggers and "race" hammers - -All from CGW, fitted by me.

Beretta 92 has a Wilson Combat hammer spring, over sized mag release.

Sig 226 is 100% stock.

I'm super happy with the CZ 75, I bought it right as they banned them in Ca, mostly because I love my P-01 so much, then grabbed all the CGW goodies before they banned that too.

Not sure why I'm so off, low n left with the Sig, a little bummed, because that's the most ergonomically comfortable of the 4. Very noticeable shooting an unmodified pistol, maybe I just need more time. Working on my grip I've always crossed my thumbs, but today I shot everything with thumbs pointing forward, generally happy, especially with the 75!

Any tips / pointers..?

With Federal’s 6.5cm+Peak, Sig’s .277 Fury, and the 7mm BC…. Are other high pressure case’s in development? Is this the way of the future for both military and hunting applications, in addition to long range precision?
Should we expect any .30 cals to be in development? Turn a .308 into a 2mile gun? Lol
Or a barrel burning 6mm?

Hey guys. I got a big question for al European guys.
Im really into guns and want to learn how to properly shoot and aim. The problem is, that im from Europe and getting your hands on a gun and going to a shooting range is not so common around here.
I have a blank firing gun, which is usually used for New Years. Thats it.
Do you have any ideas how i can train my aim and my stance?
Happy to hear your ideas!

Hey everyone, this was my first time shooting an AK, I really enjoyed it and I’m looking to buy the Zastava but I first want any tips on improving my stance/positioning. I’m sure you can tell I’ve only started shooting recently. This is 10yards, shots were all clustered around bullseye to a few inches top right of it.

If so any specific gun you would recommend?

I tried shooting prone, from bench rest and even standing... but nothing could prepare me to how difficult it is to shoot while walking, even if it is in a strait line.

I was aiming at a metal plate at 70-30 meters and I got it one time out of four shots.

Did anyone find some trick to get better, other than trying again, again and again?

My trainer explained that you have to shot when a feet is not touching the ground, which helped. But my torso is tilting left and right so much, I never realized that! :-)
