The problem is most ranges don’t even allow drawing from a holster, let alone realistic training.
Absolutely agree. Even at my private club they've banned paper targets with human silhouettes or a picture of a bad guy. They say area home owners were afraid that the militia were training there.
exactly.
the only thing that comes close is a practical shooting class/exercise/course.

I can see the problem with a handgun.
I used to prepare for hunting season with a pellet gun in my basement. I had a cardboard box filled with newspapers and rags. The box was suspended from the ceiling by a single long cord that allowed the box the swing and rotate. A second string went from the bottom corner of the box across the basement to where I was shooting from. I would jerk the string and then give myself one second to bring the gun up, draw a bead on the target and get off a round. When I started each hunting season, I had very few meaningful hits, but after a couple of weeks, it was almost always a bullseye. Anyone can do this; it’s just practice and reflexes.

There are no such restrictions on my front porch.
Or on the back deck, for that matter.
