'Shooting to Live', I think, along with Sykes. I'm too lazy to go hunting 
for the book. 

The US Army published a manual 'Principles of Quick Kill' to go with a 
training program. They used Daisy BB guns.

I adapted the idea to use with a BB pistol. With half decent lighting you 
can see the BB in flight and correct sort of like trying to soak the cat 
with a garden hose. (no, I'd never do something like that) 

Airsoft works too and they make glow in the dark airsoft pellets for low 
light practice. 

For a while I did USPSA.

They're all about two handed grips, Weaver stance and so forth, which I 
was not used to. I was never very good at it but I did learn from the 
experience. It might be counter-productive in the real world. You engage 
each target with a 'double tap' and move on to the next target. That could 
be a bad habit to get into.
