| Is there such a thing? Im asking from the learning point of view as opposed to just blowing rounds downrange for fun. I went to the range today and it seemed that after shooting and loading about 300rds, I wasnt improving anymore and it felt like I was just shooting.... I was still combat effective but not pinpoint accurate anymore. Has any of yall felt this? |

Try doing USPSA in 90 degree weather and 80% humidity, the answer is yes.

I was still combat effective but not pinpoint accurate anymore. Has any of yall felt this? I never improve much at the range and I rarely shoot 300 rounds. Usually closer to 150 at the most. I find I improve more, especially with Glocks, dry firing at home. The trigger takes some time to get used to for me. |

This is why in any class that has decent instructors, you don't just shoot 1000 rounds all at once. You talk about what you're going to do, shoot a little bit, and then stop and discuss and readjust. Then move on to a different drill. Even with breaks for instruction between shooting and not staying on the same thing for long, you'll notice groups opening up and efficiency plummet by the end of an 8 hour day.
If you are intent on hitting your target and running the gun fast, shooting can be taxing physically and mentally. All of my range sessions are limited to under 200 rounds, and I try to work on several things with that much ammo. |
| I messed up by not taking a different platform to shoot between drills and it definitely did not help that I also took my 1911 and shot it at the same time, it seemed like I was doing goodand tgen shooting the 1911 would bring me back a few notches an the G17. Well, Im taking notes as I go and putting it all on my "toolbelt" and hopefully learning from my mistakes. I dont want to achieve bullseye accuracy every time, Im just looking to be consistent always. Thanks for the input guys, very smart and knowledgeable Arfcomers make great constructive critics. Hooah! |
Hells to the naw! You need to man up, sissy boy! 
Yeah, it's natural. You've got a tiny explosion going off in your hand with each pull of the trigger! It's going to put stress on your muscles eventually. It's best to stop when you are fatigued. You're just wasting ammo at that point. You can practice weak hand when your dominant hand gets tired. Hell, take a break and walk around is what I do. I look at what other guns people are shooting and how well they're shooting. Fatigue just means it's time to take a little break is all. |
