I recently decided to make it a goal of mine to make it to the range at least twice a month, shooting a minimum of 150 rounds(5 magazines) each trip. To make the most of my time and ammo I've been putting together a set of drills to fire each trip. I'm trying to cover what I consider fundamental skills like: trigger and recoil control, target transition, shooting from different positions, etc. I've come up with about 90 rounds of the workout so far, and I'm hoping you guys might suggest some drills to fill out the remaining 60 rounds as well as critique what I've got so far. Obviously 150 rounds isn't that much but what I'm trying to do is set a bare minimum standard of practice that I maintain and supplement it when time and money allow. I'm trying to keep the set up as simple as possible, start with all full magazines, with drills changing between magazine changes.

This is what I've got so far:

First Magazine
-10 rounds, slow fire, 10 yards.
-10 rounds, slow fire, 50 yards
-10 rounds, slow fire, 100 yards

These 30 rounds act as a warm up and give me a chance to focus on the fundamentals of shooting isolated from everything else.

Second Magazine
All shots timed on an IPSC target, shots inside A-C are 0, all other are -1. Target is scored at the end of this magazine.
Starts from the low ready

-3 rounds, rapid fire, 10 yards x3
-3 rounds, rapid fire, 25 yards x3
-2 rounds, rapid fire, 50 yards x3
-1 round, kneeling, 75 yards x3
-1 round, kneeling, 100 yards x3

This magazine focuses on recoil control, speed, and getting into a position quickly. I'm thinking of adding par times to each distance that I'll decrease as my speed increases.

Third Magazine
All shots timed on two IPSC targets, scored as above.
Starts from the low ready.

-1 round each, two targets (warm up)
-2 rounds each, two targets x7

This magazine obviously focuses on recoil control and target transition. The odd 1-on-each is just because I needed to burn two rounds


To fill out the rest of the drills I feel like I should add shooting on the move, and off-side shooting.. What are some skills and related drills that you guys consider essential practice?

 

Thanks for the suggestions.
I've been aware of the 1-5 drill, and think I think it's a pretty awesome drill and brings in a lot of different skills. Due to the relatively high round count for a single drill it'll probably be something I save for the occasional high round count range trip.
I like the highsmith drill you linked to. I'm thinking maybe I could include kind of a box movement into it to incorporate moving forward and rear ie: move forward to position one, move right, move rear, move left.

Here are a few more that I like.

Practice shooting on the move, It can be difficult, I have to practice in sand so it is not easy. You are off to a good start. It makes me happy to see others out there who train as a hobby.
