Nice article. I agree that a plate rack is a great practice tool, probably the best target for practice.
I have one that I can only shoot with pistol and shotgun, but the amount of variations you can come up with
is virtually limitless. Shoot one, reload, shoot another. Shoot two with shotgun, then transition to pistol.
Start with two shells, shoot one, load four, shoot the rest. Etc., etc. I love the plate rack!
How about an article on how to find time to practice with a job, wife, three kids and two dogs?
When I finally have time to practice I'll be so old I'll be shooting from a scooter.
