Alright so we buy .22 clones to train with but how do you train?

Are you doing mostly fundamentals? Sight picture, breathing, trigger control, point shooting, position shooting
Or are you doing more advanced stuff?

I am trying to figure out a good training regimen using .22 clones. The big problem I see is the lack of recoil making lots of drills pointless.

When I get back to working full time I plan to purchase an adapter for my Glock to make transition practice cheaper.

I have a rifle with a 22 kit setup identical to my fighting rifle.

I practice everything I can
transitions to sidearm, reloads, shooting and moving, cover usage

The pistol range I shoot on doesn't allow rifles, but it does allow 22 so I cna also practice at my leisure ont he pistol range.
