For practice, I have the luxury of my home course being 10min away. I also belong to the gun club it's built on so I can shoot there most any time of the week from first light to dark. It's nice to work on my routine, tweak my position and anything else I'd like to try. For training, I follow two methods. If I'm having difficulties with kneeling, or standing I will practice those alone, either on one target or shooting the course that way during a practice session. The same goes for any hiccups in my routine. I call this micro training. Attending matches allows for a bit of pressure, and the hubub of a day on the lanes. Here I get to experience different targets, layouts and wind conditions to add to the home course practice. I try to use every practice and match to hone a skill or work a new skill into my routine.
