I'm going to start shooting drills beginning with very simple variations. I'm going to start practicing drawing and dry firing at home, but I would like to gather a few very simple live shooting drills so that when I go to the range I won't just stand there and shoot targets like I always do (tremendous fun, but a wasteful use of perfectly good ammo). Combined with beginning some formal training, I'm looking to increase skills and proficiency. For example, I found a "3x5 Card Drill" on the internet, which is about the level I need to start with, and it looks like a lot of fun. It also doesn't require a lot of dynamic mental computing. That's important for me right now because I want to work on basic skills, without worrying about what my next move is in the next half second. The only restriction is that I can't do any moving around at the range, I'm still shooting in a narrow booth at either range that I shoot. I participated in an IDPA event once, and while it was fun, I was a wreck because I had no practice drawing and firing, and no where near enough skill and practice to be moving around at anything that looks like speed. Most of you guys probably know where I'm at regarding shooting; lots of revolver shooting beginning in the 70s, pistol, some rifle, hunting, collecting, lots of clays shooting, and lots of shotshell, rifle, and pistol reloading. My problem is, I'm not trained or proficient with handguns as it relates to CC, self defense, moving, escape and evade, etc. So to start, I'd like to stop shooting targets and start simple handgun shooting drills.

Any specific drills or advice appreciated.

Try some from Kyle Lamb. He has lots of drills on YouTube. Just search Viking Tactics pistol drills. Most are static. Do them at home as dry fire drills. When you can smoothly draw, fire, change mags, etc. then you are ready to try them at the range. Just disregard the ones where you shoot on the move. I like to practice at home with dry fire but my wife thinks I'm a little crazy.

Once you get started you'll find lots of drills and IDPA courses of fire on the web. Enjoy.

Good sources all.
A friend has a card listing such drills that can be done on a lane rental range.
That way, when she gets to an IDPA or USPSA match, she can concentrate on getting through the stages; the shooting is there.

Pat MacNamamara has a book out titled TAPS: Tactical application of pistol shooting that contains drills. It can be a little over the top with some of them.

Trident Concepts has a deck of cards that are all drills:

The dot torture drill is awesome and very humbling.

You can also shoot the triple nickel, 5 shots, five targets side by side, five yards and the different versions of that.

You can also go on Youtube and look up Ken Hackathorn's drill of the month. CSAT (Paul Howe) pistol instructor standards are on you tube as well, you can dissect that into a number of individual drills.

the classic bill and failure drills are also on youtube.

That's a great group of drills. RIP TLG.

For anyone that's not familiar, Gabe White continues to carry the torch and updates the PF site with weekly "drills of the week". It's a great resource for students of the pistol.
