Took my 2 lovely ladies to the range yesterday for some serious home invasion practice. They like to shoot & "enjoy" it but lately I have been talking to them about the need to really train for specific things.
Home invasions are almost always multiple BGs.
First drill I set up 2 BGs close together at 7yd. 21ft, which is also an average hall length in many houses or moble homes as well as 2nd CHL proficiency distance. These BGs were in the complete open. At "go" glass fallling wakes you up & the door is jarred open. You have to get your gun & nutralize 2 BGs w/ whatever round count it takes & you DO NOT have 15 seconds to aim at the X inside the 10 ring. (Both are bad about this & Mom is terrible

)
Wife shot first & fired 10 rds to get 5 hits. 3 & 2.
Mom fired 12 & got 3 & 1.
I had set up a hallway using movable particians. It was 30ft long w/ my little Black & Decker Workmate at one end. Pillows on the workmate was "bed covers". We talked about concealment versus cover. Wall, door, or shower curtain is conceal. Matress & loose blankets are pretty good cover whether it is a cold winter night or a hot fire fight.
2nd drill. At go you hear glass fall & the door forced open. Get your gun, roll out of bed, take "cover", & again neutalize 2 BGs starting into the hall w/ whatever rd count it takes. Amazed them both what the hall walls did to improve accuracy even at a greater distance. Both immediately went to a 90% + hit ratio & at the greater 30ft distance. did this several times. DH & Little Boy very prowd of wife & Mommie.
Some steel plate drills followed to work on recoil control & getting back on a falling target fast. Shoot the steel & hit it the 2nd time before it is down. A good drill for recoil control & back on target. These at 15yds.
They both surprised themselves.
Last we did move & shoot. Moved across the hallway & take 2 shots w/o stopping. Go back the other direction. Moving strong side direction is always easier shot than moving weak hand direction.
Neiter ever hit the wall & both hit one BG every time. There were some 2 & 2s, 2 & 0s, 1 & 3s,but never 4 misses.
Then learned to take conceal & shoot down the hall. Neither had ever used a wall or other "side rest". Always rest under the gun. This gave some real problems for while. They had real time & accuracy issues really due to the wobbley light movable particians.
Great day at the range & both came away saying it was good as well as fun. Just got called for breakfast so good shooting.
