A year or two ago I bought a shot timer and have watched several of the NRA training videos and others to learn training techniques. There are many good ideas out there, but I can't do all of them on every trip. I will pick one or two drills to focus on each trip if I'm not going just to have some fun. The timer is a great tool to measure how your training has improved or declined and in which aspect. Then I can focus on drills that will improve that particular area.
