From Practice to Performance: This Month’s Training Focus

Monthly Firearms Training Update
Consistent firearms training is the foundation of safe and effective shooting. At Governors Gun Club, we believe training should be intentional, structured, and focused on building real-world skills.
Whether you are a new gun owner or an experienced shooter, having a plan for your range time leads to better results and long-term improvement. This month, we are focusing on how to train smarter and make every session count.
Training Focus: How to Get More Out of Your Range Time
Many shooters spend time at the range without a clear goal. While practice is important, structured firearms training produces better performance and stronger fundamentals.
Here are several ways to improve your training sessions:
Dry Fire Training
Dry fire training is one of the most effective ways to improve shooting fundamentals. Focus on grip, trigger control, sight alignment, and draw mechanics. Short, consistent dry fire sessions help reinforce good habits before live fire.
Track Your Shooting Performance
Recording drills, times, and accuracy helps identify strengths and areas that need improvement. Tracking progress turns casual practice into structured firearms training.
Add Movement and Decision Making
Static shooting has its place, but real skill development comes from training with movement, reloads, and problem-solving. These elements help prepare shooters for defensive and competitive environments.
Drill of the Month: Turning Practice Into Training
Instead of focusing on one specific drill, we encourage shooters to use this approach every time they train:
- Set a clear training goal before you arrive at the range
- Choose a drill that directly supports that goal
- Record results and repeat the drill over time
This process helps shooters stay focused and measure improvement, which is essential for effective firearms training.

Training Tip: Focus on Mental Preparation
Firearms training is not only physical. Mental preparation plays a key role in performance. Before each training session, take a moment to identify what you want to improve and visualize correct execution.
Clear goals and focused mindset lead to better results on the range.
