Improve your accuracy: reduced size targets

Reduced Size Target Systems: http://youtu.be/dGJT38HJaHg

Makes sense to me!

I shoot at stuff the size of a quarter at 10 or so yards.  I don't always hit it, but that is my "target".   And it does help.   Using a reduced man target is along the same lines, but it can fool you into forgetting to adjust for elevation @ distance if you shoot a 1/20 sized target at 5 yards, when you have a target that is instead way off in the distance  but the same size....    don't forget gravity...

 

IMHO if you can hit a tiny target easily at practice, you will have less problems with a large target in a real situation.  If I ever need to shoot in a situation, I want it to be an easy, casual, can't go wrong shot.   So I make practice harder than anything I expect to encounter... totally approve of this idea.

Aim small, miss small.

The video is funny.  I can sort of see having a small one for extreme close range, quick draw and shoot, self defense scenario training, though.  Do it enough and it will be good for muscle memory.

 

 

As to any real debate on the size of a target for practice, my HCP instructor had a good point when he was going over how the qualification would work before we moved out to the range and someone asked why we were using the smaller targets (B-29) instead of the bigger ones (B-27).

 

He said no matter the size of the paper, your target- the X in the center- is the same size.  Mind over matter.

Well ya'll. I regularly shoot flies off  pigs backs at 300 yds.

 

And I use iron sights!

 

My eyesight is going bad so I had ta give up shooting em at 500 yds.!

I loved it when he blasted the head off.  I was thinking, this might be a little small for my 45.
