Zombie Headshot Training: Pistols (Part 2)

Bald zombies... are easier to hit. 
 
I finally get to step up my training in the sport of IPSC practical shooting. There are a lot of big tournaments that I'm looking forward to join this year and I'm hitting the firing range on a weekly basis. Good times are here!

Even my dad is returning to competitive form. He scores higher than me most of the time, and that means I often buy the cold drinks & chow after range time.

Aside from competition, I am using this as an opportunity to upgrade my zombie-killing skills. The video below is me practicing against a row of steel plates.  I love shooting at those palm-sized targets because of the nice "ping" sound you get when hitting them. I get a warm fuzzy feeling from knocking them down one after the other.


If only I could get our Range Officer to design moving steel plates for me to train with. That would be awesome!



Above is a video of a "man vs man" match, I'm on the right. Two guys try to knock down their row of targets faster than the other guy. There are numerous variations to keep it lively. Indoor practice is good, but I love being out in the sun!

Whatever you do, please practice the fundamentals of FIREARM SAFETY. Wear eye and ear protection at all times, and set steel targets at the proper distance to minimize ricochets. 

Train hard, train often, have fun. It directly contributes to winning the coming zombie war.


Stay vigilant!
