I'm relatively new to handguns. Like many, I got my concealed carry license, but hadn't practiced much. I did practice at least a little.
When I went to my refresher class, I was appalled by the shooting I saw. We shot 20 untimed rounds first from 21 feet. I was able to keep them all within about an 8" group (not good in my opinion) and that was at least 2x better than the next best shooter.
Anyway, I decided to get serious about training with my carry gun. Now I can put 50 rounds (more if I had time and ammo) in a 4" group. If I shoot controlled pairs, the grouping opens up to about 6" with a few fliers.
So, what I want to know is how to improve? I want to shoot accurately, but with alacrity. I'm of the school that says put two quickly into the bad guy, asses, then, if necessary, two more.
I want those first two to be well placed shots, but speed is a factor. So, do y'all have any drills to help me increase speed with accuracy?
