I have paper idpa targets. We do all sorts of drills. Never gets boring. We call it bear training these days instead of idpa training.
Shoot paper with the rifle. Do not use the bench. It's all hunting positions. Never gets boring. If it starts to get easy, we shoot further. Our club range goes out to 500 meters.
Then there is the bow. Same as with rifle. Actually was using it today. Using broadheads and letting it rip out to 70 yards on a foam block. Great way to test your skills and to see how well your bow is tuned.

Use those colored dots to plug up the holes so you can tighten up your groupings marking in different colors each iteration. Find different fun paper targets (classic hostage scenario, battleships, etc.) Try to put a smiley face in a target. Only you can make your training challenging yet enjoyable via progressive incremental gains.

Everything without a timer is boring. There are pin shoots and other action shooting matches all around you. Only you can prevent boredom.
Pumpkins when empty are boring. Make a couple vents, fill with water and watch the hydrostatic pressure blow 'em to pieces !!!
I recently got some of these - used a Sharpie (tm) and drew some funny faces !!

Getting involved in action shooting (IDPA/USPSA/PCSL) is the ticket. Need to get over the shooting with "big crowds" thing.
You will have fun, your gun handling and shooting will improve exponentially...*and* you'll meet a lot of good people.

If fighting AI powered attack robots with your AR-15, is it best to use M855? Where should you hit it for a vital “kill” shot?
Using an AR-15 against AI-powered attack robots would present unique challenges compared to typical human targets. The M855, with its steel penetrator tip, is known for better penetration, which could be useful against a robot's exterior.
### Considerations:
1. **Penetration**: M855 rounds can penetrate steel and other hard materials better than some other types of 5.56mm ammunition, making them potentially more effective against armored components of a robot.
2. **Target Areas**:
- **Sensors and Cameras**: Disabling the robot's ability to see or detect you could be critical. Aim for any visible cameras or sensor clusters.
- **Joints and Mobility Systems**: Hitting joints, such as those at the limbs or where they connect to the body, can immobilize the robot.
- **Power Source**: If you can identify the location of the power source or batteries, targeting this area could disable the robot. This might be located in the torso or another central area.
- **Control Systems**: Targeting areas that house control systems, possibly indicated by antennas or other external features, could disrupt the robot's operation.
However, the exact effectiveness would depend on the specific design and materials of the attack robot.
Would you like to know more about any specific type of ammunition or strategies?
Can you think of any range drills that would help prep for this?
Preparing for a scenario involving AI-powered attack robots requires a combination of accuracy, target identification, and rapid response drills. Here are some range drills to help you prepare:
### 1. **Target Discrimination Drill**
- **Setup**: Place a mix of human silhouette targets and targets representing robot components (cameras, joints, power sources) at various distances.
- **Objective**: Quickly identify and engage the robot-specific targets while avoiding human targets.
- **Execution**: Engage targets as they appear, focusing on precision shots to the robot's vital areas.
### 2. **Mobility and Accuracy Drill**
- **Setup**: Set up multiple shooting positions with cover. Place robot component targets at different distances and heights.
- **Objective**: Move between cover positions while engaging targets. Emphasize accuracy and speed.
- **Execution**: Start at a designated position, move to the next cover point, and engage targets. Repeat until all targets are neutralized.
### 3. **Rapid Target Engagement Drill**
- **Setup**: Use a target system that presents multiple targets simultaneously or in rapid succession.
- **Objective**: Engage and neutralize targets quickly.
- **Execution**: As targets appear, prioritize and engage them with accurate shots to vital areas. Focus on quick transitions between targets.
### 4. **Precision Shooting Drill**
- **Setup**: Place small, precise targets (e.g., 4-inch circles) at varying distances.
- **Objective**: Improve marksmanship and the ability to hit small, critical components of the robot.
- **Execution**: Engage targets from different shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) and distances.
### 5. **Weak Hand Shooting Drill**
- **Setup**: Same as the Precision Shooting Drill but with the addition of using the weak hand.
- **Objective**: Improve versatility and ability to shoot accurately with both hands.
- **Execution**: Engage targets using your non-dominant hand, focusing on maintaining accuracy and control.
### 6. **Shoot/No-Shoot Decision Drill**
- **Setup**: Place a mix of hostile and non-hostile targets, with some representing critical components of robots.
- **Objective**: Improve decision-making under pressure.
- **Execution**: As targets appear, decide quickly whether to engage based on whether they represent a threat (robot components) or non-threat (human silhouettes).
### 7. **Low-Light Shooting Drill**
- **Setup**: Conduct drills in low-light conditions using flashlights or weapon-mounted lights.
- **Objective**: Improve the ability to identify and engage targets in low visibility.
- **Execution**: Practice target identification and engagement with reduced visibility, focusing on precision and control.
### Equipment and Training Aids:
- Reactive targets that simulate robot components.
- Simulated robot targets with sensors or joints marked.
- Use of cover and concealment training aids.
### Safety Considerations:
- Always follow range safety rules.
- Ensure all drills are supervised and conducted in a controlled environment.
- Use proper eye and ear protection.
Regular practice of these drills will enhance your readiness and response time, improving your overall effectiveness against AI-powered attack robots.
I like setting clays on the berm and shooting them, then shooting the pieces. Try shooting .22 at distance, or anything beyond the distance you are used to. You can also cut cardboard in a way to hold clays if you aren’t allowed to place them on the berm.

Find a drill you like and shoot it with two hands and score it to establish a baseline.
Then shoot the drill from a further distance than the description calls for and record the score.
Then shoot the same drill at whatever distance you want with one hand only. Score it.
Shoot the drill with the other hand.
Do ten jumping jacks, or burpees (scale as necessary) and shoot the drill.
Do that 10x (or scale as necessary) in a row.

...Then it's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips, and bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insa-a-a-a-ne. Let's....
