Any shooters left in this ghost town?
I put this here instead of “Training” for visibility. Mods if you have to move it, I don’t care.
5x5
Target: 3x5 card, vertically oriented.
Range: 5 yards
Start position:holstered, loaded with 5 rounds.
Par time: 5 seconds.
At START signal, draw & fire 5 rounds at the card.
PASS=all rounds on target, under par
Deceivingly simple
Me: G19H with Swampfox optic, JMCK AIWB concealed
Give it a shot! See what I did there!
AIWB is so fast, but it’s too hot here for it. I tried it one time and my gun was soaked.
Me and Pappabear were out blasting yesterday. Maybe we’ll give this a go next weekend.
Cool!
The original version of this is 5 rounds, at 5 yards, into a 5” circle, from low ready.
For greater challenge, a 3x5 card. For still more challenge, from a holster.
I’m going to try this. I’ve been looking for a few new drills.
I’ve got 67 rifle & pistol drills compiled in my Drill Book so far.
I find I get alot more out of my training, with fewer rounds, being structured about it.
I’ll try it tomorrow
Pappabear shoots matches all the time now. So our handgun practice sessions are way elevated. Shooting, moving, shooting while moving, running to positions.
Standing there and punching holes in paper at an indoor range or some crap would be mindless nonsense. For some guys that’s almost the only shooting they are able to do. That would suck royally.
Will do!
Kinda of a Bill Drill but one less shot, closer range, smaller target.
Is this from Cold or we get warm-ups?
I’ll do both.
Taping the 3X5 high in the A zone might also help us keep our impact up. We tend to drop shots low in the A zone.
For me, when training, there’s a psychological urge NOT to let a round fly over an attacker’s shoulder and hit someone or something you don’t want to. Plus, a flinch always dumps the hit low.
There’s no stipulation that I’m aware of for the drill to be shot cold. Like any drill, you learn alot when you do though.
Indeed MarkM, I shoot that way too now. I couldn’t get anything done at a shitty public range. I need to be moving, I need to be finding and using cover, I need to be shooting at contact distance, at multiple targets, etc.
That would be something to see.
There’s dudes on Glocktalk that will post pics of their indoor range paper targets with a box of ammo’s worth of holes through the shot out middle. What a friggin snooze!
We run drills that leave my heart pounding in my chest. So much more engaging and motivating.
Agreed.
V.V.V, self publish that drill book my man. 
Best I could do was 2.12. It took a while to get there. Fun drill!!
I really hate the shot timer. Pappabear will run the heck of his. I’d end up slamming it on the ground when I screwed up running it.
Holy crap that is smokin’! What did your spread look like on the card?
It was not as pretty as the OP. And not as tight. But it worked. It took about an hour to get the grip and presentation down.
Grip is so critical. Ever fricken week we’re out there, and every week we’re like.. “I forgot to GRIP the gun.”
It is, and for me, it’s easy to forget about.
Reading Andy Stanford’s “Surgical Speed Shooting" years ago really turned in the light bulb for me….that it’s not about eliminating, or fighting against recoil, but rather maintaining a grip that’s consistent in such a way that the gun “bounces” back to the right place.
