Post image for Drills to Train for Shooting Accuracy

Practicing your shot can get a bit old if you are shooting on a regular basis, so I made a video showing a few drills that will make shooting a bit more fun. These drills are meant to test your accuracy, and also give you a goal to try to beat. I have embedded the video below, and underneath the video I have summed up the drills and also have a link to a shot log that you can download and use.

Video Summary

  • Around the World Drill ( perfect)
    • The goal of this drill is to hit all four targets in four shots. If you miss one you need to start over until you go 4 for 4
  • Around the World
    • With this drill you see how many shots it takes you to hit all for targets, say it takes you 7 shots. Now that is your milestone and you goal is to hit all 4 targets in less shots.
  • Around the World (multiple)
    • With this drill you can hit each target 3 times, or 4, times or 5 times etc, or go “around the world” multiple times. See how many shots it hit all four targets 5 times, or see if you can go 8 for 8, or 12 for 12!
  • Time Trial
    • With the time trial you time how long it takes you to hit all four targets, then try to beat your time. You can use a time trial for any accuracy drill
  • Rocket Drill
    • Pick a target and try to hit it 10 times, shooting as HARD as you can
