First of all this thread is outstanding...

A few of my thoughts:

1. Start with a 4x4x4 inch wood block. Place said wood block on the dirt / sand mound etc that the bullets impact into once they pass through the paper target. Engage the wood block with a shot or two or three. Upon being shot the wood block will move to a different position. Engage the wood block again. The goal is to keep the wood block moving as much as possible. This is good for getting students used to having to shift their focus from the front sight, to down range to scan for threats / measure the effectiveness of their fire, then back to their front sight to re-engage the target.

2. Simunition kits and protective gear required for this one... Take two students and have them load their weapons with simunitions. Tell the student that on command they will engage each other and the first person who shoots the other wins. Prior to the students engaging each other have them close their eyes and hold their ears as the instructor takes their weapon from them, empties the chamber, presses the magazine release, then returns their weapon to them. When they attempt to engage each other the first student to realize their is a problem and properly executes tap-rack-bang will win.
