Practicing for concealed carry is one of the most important things that we shooters sometimes neglect ... but we must acknowledge that practice is just one among many critical things competing for our time, attention and money. So what's a responsible concealed-carrier to do? NRA Women's Becky Yackley is one of the most accomplished shooters and Second Amendment ambassadors out there, and she has some advice for those of us with more business than time: practice low-round-count drills. Today, she's showing us a practice drill that maximizes our time on the range while minimizing the ammunition we burn through. She calls it the "one shot, one dry-fire" drill, and it allows you to work through your transitions and follow-through while letting you see what you could be doing better ... and it only takes a minute to watch!
