Thanks for this Talyn. Too often I go to the range to relax and unwind and tend not to think of it as something I need to physically train for.

It's worthy to add that my shooting skills have increased, and, if you're a strong guy, it's better to have a gun with you, as a small number of things can help you when a robber for example put a gun to your head... Even in this situation martial skills can help you as you will be able to disarm such a guy.
Even if you're a low 100 pound guy, executive protection training will allow you resist or fight back a 8ft 250 pound guy

I'm going for my NRA bullseye pistol qualification and I'm up to the Sharpshooter-Bar 1 level, and I've seem to have hit a plateau for a few months now and can't progress any higher. The qualifications at my current level require shooting at a bullseye target with a 1.5" black center at 25', and getting at least a score of 64 with 10 shots, slow fire, strong hand only. I can reliably group my shots within 2" at 25 feet with a two-handed grip. But there's something about shooting one-handed that I must not be "getting". My stance places my feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, almost parallel to the line towards the target (off about 10-15 degrees), left hand in my pocket, right arm rigid and straight. I'm operating the trigger with the pad of my finger. Is this just a matter of more practice, and just powering through the plateau? Or should I be doing exercises like stress balls or tricep presses to get my muscle stamina up? Or introducing a new way to shoot one-handed to my routine? Or all the above or something completely different!? Thanks for any advice or tips! Oh, if it matters, I'm using an H&K Expert .45 and Fiocchi ammunition.
