Ammo shortage influencing focus on marksmanship?

[ghostdncr]

I know the recent ammo shortage has directly influenced my shooting. Where I would shoot through a brick of .22's in a single afternoon, I may drive all the way out to the range and only fire ten or twenty precise rounds, now. I've gotten completely out of control with the dry fire exercises, position building, repetition drills, and all that. I've also wandered upon several conversations here at work where guys were discussing shooting fundamentals. Visiting websites and watching videos meant to enhance marksmanship skills were topics of these conversations. Once again, it seems there's another silver lining to the recent foolishness. An enhanced focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship will only serve to make us better shooters and more capable in the role of citizen soldiers.

What do you think?

At close to $4 a gallon, if I drive, I'm going to shoot!

That being said, I've renewed my interest in bolt actions and can make a box of 50 223's last a few hours.

I agree with manatee

Bad practice makes for bad habits. I fully support dry fire but it has to be a progression in perfect fundamentals. If u rip out 100 ****ty draws...it does nothing to advance u as a shooter.

As far as live fire...i personally start every session with slow accurate fundamental drills. But if all u do is practice this way, all u will be is a slow accurate shooter. Making the accurate shots as fast as u can is how i train.

There's an old saying. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

Haven't really changed how I shoot, but have cut back on how often and how much. Still just popping milk jugs.
