[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2689495, member: 6145"] IMO shooting a IDPA or IPSC is not an exercise in improving your accuracy. It is a pratical exercise of the skills set you Currently have. If you want to improve your accuracty, 1st) you are going to have to determine what you are doing incorrect and 2) build the skills to shoot accurately. Find a good instructor that will work with you to identify what can be corrected and 2nd identify meaningful practice techniques and keep at these until you see the improvement. If you cannot shoot the cross hairs on a target at 8 feet 1st from a bench rest and then 2nd free hand then what will shooting faster and under more stress (IDPA and IPSC) show you? Practical Accuracy - are the sum total of your shots on a target reasonably accurate ( in the '0' or '1' point down rings, although none of them are bulls eye accurate) and in a reasonable amt of time. Is your shooting good enough for self defense? Self Defense Shooting - are your 5 shots in a circle the size of a quarter or spread out in an 8" circle which in the chest of a bad guy will be meaningful. by the way, what gun are you shooting and what is the lbs on the trigger?
