Train Like a Competitor — The Competition & Training Collection
In competitive shooting, every fraction of a second counts. The difference between “just good” and “match-ready” comes down to repetition, workflow efficiency, and gear built for performance. The Layered Ballistics “Competition & Training” collection is engineered for shooters who don’t leave improvement to chance — it’s a toolbox for honing skills, optimizing stages, and simplifying setup.
Why this collection matters
Whether you’re prepping for a major match, running stage after stage, or simply sharpening your technique during dry-fire sessions, the right tools make practice meaningful. Items in this collection help you:
-
Recreate realistic match conditions and layouts.
-
Optimize your movement between targets and transitions.
-
Reduce setup and teardown time so you spend more time shooting.
-
Build comfort with gear and mounting systems so nothing surprises you on match day.
What you’ll find
The Competition & Training collection covers a range of purpose-built gear:
-
Scaled dry-fire targets for disciplines like USPSA and IDPA (¼-scale, ⅕-scale) so you can train indoors or simulate match spacing. Layered Ballistics+1
-
Test boxes and rigging accessories designed for match prep and training drills. Layered Ballistics
-
Range workflow accessories — paster dispensers, pocket clips, mounts, and hardware that streamline patching, target changes, and stage work. Etsy
How to use this collection for training upgrades
1. Build a home dry-fire regimen. Use scaled targets in ¼ or ⅕ size to simulate match distances at home. This creates consistent sight-alignment drills and dry reps that transfer to the range.
2. Optimize stage transitions and gear workflow. Your accessories let you move between targets, reloads, patches and setups with fewer interruptions — giving you more “time shooting” and less “time adjusting.”
3. Match-ready setup. Treat your training environment like your match environment: same target types, same mounts, same hardware. When changes happen on match day, you won’t have to adjust your gear too.
4. Track progress. Use the test boxes and target kits to push measurable drills: draw-to-first-shot time, transition count, target acquisition speed. These numbers add up.
Materials & build quality
Every product in this collection is built from durable materials (often high-strength plastics or printed polymers) that hold up under training stresses. You’ll get gear that doesn’t flinch after dozens of use-cycles, hours of setup, or travel between stages.
Who this is for
-
Match competitors who want to grow from local club to regional level.
-
Range officers and match staff who value efficient gear turnover and stage setup.
-
Serious dry‐fire practitioners who know that thousands of good reps beat a handful of live rounds.
-
Trainers and coaches building structured drills for students.
