What do you need to practice on pistol?

Not to be the fly in the pudding, but I can get very effective single gun practices and drills right here at my home range. I drive to Byers for comprehensive 3 gun matches. No point in an all pistol match and we already have a monthly tactical rifle match at Pueblo. No draw for me there. A full on shotgun match sounds fun, but running it as standards and practice drill type stuff doesn't offer much appeal for me.
Flys get swatted into oblivion...
It's great that you are so good you don't need practice on the shotgun, but what we did last week was very beneficial for those who wanted to improve their shotgun skillset.
Running a 2 gun match (sans shotgun) has the potential to pull in some pistol shooters who are still scared of the shotgun aspects of 3 Gun.
Not sure if I can make it out or not, but I think it would be interesting to run stages with dramatic changes in distance to the target. For pistol, maybe work some cardboard within 5-10 yards to place an emphasis on speed, then make the shooters transition to 25 or even 50 yard steel. Same for the rifle. Make the shooters shift gears dramatically.
At least I think that would make for some interesting and informative stages.

i would be interested in shooting this if it was a pistol/carbine match only as i do not own a tactical or three gun shotgun yet, my issue is there is a high power match that day over on the high power range that i need to shoot what time do you start shooting? most cases it wont work out. however i will swing by once i am done and say hello to a few of you.
As someone who has only shot pistol matches and not carbine/pistol, a 2-gun match would be great to get into multi gunning. Personally I don't really like shotgun.
Keep Calm and Carry.
Swatted to oblivion... Hmmm...
Didn't say I don't practice. Only that I don't need to drive two hours to shoot the drills. I can and frequently do that at my home range. I did last night and the guy I practiced with (from Texas) will most likely be ordering some pin wheels as soon as he gets home (after going from an 11sec weak hand reload to a 6.5sec load two reload in less than 20min).
You asked for oppinions... Sorry if mine is to shoot all three guns.
I just hate flies...
Guess I should have put one of those smilies in there.
My reason, as a MD, for trying some other formats is exactly what was posted by coop68 and DeusExMachina.
They come on out, get addicted, then they HAVE to give shotgun a whirl.
I seem to struggle with steel. Any steel. I do fine on paper (bigger targets and two hits anywhere), but put steel in front of me and I fold like a cheap tent. I think front sight and trigger control are a part of this. I enjoyed the shotgun match and I like the idea of at least a 2 gun match, but I do love shooting all three. I'll be there regardless because I love to shoot!Originally Posted by MarkCO

Steel Challenge is this Saturday at CRC. It's a good time!I seem to struggle with steel. Any steel.
