Paired Shooting Drills

Post by Soupy44 »

I'm looking for shooting drills that can be done by a group of 2-3 shooters without coach involvement. I had the shooters in our program watch their partner's target and compete for points by calling their shots correctly. One point for direction (clock system), one point for value, and an automatic point for shooting a 10. I really liked the dynamic it created within the team. Wondering what other folks have come up with.

Thanks!

First to five 10s. Yell out loud how many 10s as each is hit. Intensity drill. Adds pressure but forces to stay in control.

Ping Pong – Two shooters. Each shoots one shot. Highest shot gets advantage. Shoot again, if shooter with advantage gets highest shot, 1 point is earned. If shooter without advantage gets highest shot, advantage goes to that shooter. Shooter who gets to 3 points wins set. First to win 3 sets wins match.

I know that I am little late for me to comment. The use one target for two or three shooters. Closest shot to the center wins the bullseye and the winner gets to shoot first on the next bull. This goes on for all 10 bullseys. If there is a tie they use the sighter bulls. I let my shooters do this at the end practice. It breaks things up and I let the shooters talk to each other wail shooting this fun match.
