I was wondering what kinda if any trainning regimines do you folks use, while shooting rifles at the range. I have a pretty good one that has improved my shooting alot, but I was wondering what you guys do if any and maybe you can give me some good ideas.I currently have three phases which consists of the cqb phase, the phase one, and then phase 2, where i work on different positions and different sight systems, and along with slow well aimmed fire, rapid controlled fire, and other firring techniques, and at varing ranges. from 3yds to 25 metersin the cqb phase, from 50 to 200meters in phase 1 and 200 to 300 meters since that as long as the range goes here in phase 2. any input and idea would be a great help not only to me but others to i am sure. Thanks.
 
Jeff Cooper's The Art of the Rifle and Chuck Taylor's The Fighting Rifle both include some very good practice drills. The drills I find most fun and challenging are the snap-shot drills, starting from "high-ready"(buttstock at belt-level, muzzle at eye-level in line with the target): 2 seconds to hit a 6" head target at 25 yds, or a 8" torso target at 50 yds.

Walt Rauch also described a "One-Shot Rifle Qualification" in Combat Handguns a few months back: Start in the low-ready(buttstock in shoulder, muzzle aimed at ground below your target)position with your rifle in "cruiser-ready"(full magazine, empty chamber, on-safe), behind a barricade(simulated by an extra target stand). On signal, off-safe, chamber a round, and fire at a 6"X10" target(can substitute an 8" paper plate, or anything of a similar size) at 10 yds. Fire as many shots as you need, as long as the target is hit within 4 seconds from the signal. Your score will depend on your time: 4 sec. = 80th-percentile(minimum passing), while 1.55 sec. = 100th-percentile(maximum possible score); score drops by 0.5% with every 0.05 sec. above 1.55, until 3.10 sec.(84.5%), after which score drops at 0.5% per 0.10 sec. over 3.10 sec.
