I just finished round one of Pre-qualification shooting for our Reserve Police Academy--the "Old Guy" with his antiquated 1911 soundly outshot all the young whipper-snappers

At the same time, I also am smart enough to know that shooting paper-targets is not the same as real-live combat shooting--where adrenalin impacts motor-skills. So my question to the folks here, is this: when you are on a very limited budget, what are some recommendations for trying to duplicate those conditions (high stress) for training--or is it even reasonable to attempt to do so?

The "Old Guy" appreciates your input
