What are some effective recoil control drills for shooting?

There are several effective drills you can practice to improve your recoil control. One popular drill is the "Ball and Dummy" drill, where you alternate between live rounds and dummy rounds to focus on your trigger control and follow-through.

Can you explain how to do the Ball and Dummy drill?

Sure! For the Ball and Dummy drill, load your magazine with a mix of live rounds and dummy rounds. As you shoot, you won't know when a dummy round will come up, which forces you to maintain proper technique and control regardless of whether the gun fires or not.

What other drills can help with recoil control?

Another great drill is the "Controlled Pairs" drill, where you fire two shots in quick succession while focusing on keeping your sights aligned between shots. This helps you practice managing recoil effectively.

How often should I practice these drills?

It's best to practice these drills regularly, ideally once or twice a week, to build muscle memory and improve your overall shooting skills.
