Range: 20 yards, 10 yards
Target: USPSA or IDPA silhouette

C/-1 hits, add .5 seconds, D/-3 hits, add 1 second.
13.31, 1 “C” (you’re damn right I’m giving myself that line-break “A”!), so 13.81.
First rifle shots of the day. According to my notes, I last shot this in May of last year, score was 13.41 (11.91 with 3 Cs).
I don’t care for the drill.
HA! What? Elaborate.
As a game drill, it’s okay.
As a simulation drill, it doesn’t make sense.
Running closer to engage a threat (20 yds to 10, etc) would be foolish. You have a rifle & are already very close to the target. Plant your feet & shoot.
Yeah………I’l stick with Pats’ NSR drill….
I sometimes have to make a commitment to keep moving when shooting.
A real fighting situation will dictate your actual movement… maybe to cover or something. Or the attacker moved and you need to come closer? We can what if it to death, but I’m for as much movement as possible when drilling.
Well, we could dissect most drills and find aspects that may not be “realistic”.
Short drills like this aren’t meant to be training, or simulation-type COFs. They’re meant to be excercises that test one or more specific skills, metrics.
This one tests rapid fire control, “switching gears” from different ranges, rapid movement, and shooting on the move. And there are absolutely some situations where we should be aggressing towards a threat(s).
Frankly, “planting your feet and shooting” is a negative of alot of drills out there, which is why it’s good to also periodically get outside the box, and have days where you ONLY shoot on the move, and/or from cover.
Even a simple Bill Drill is actually a bad idea, tactically, in certain situations. But it’s a simple test, like any other.
15 Rounds Of Fury isn’t meant to be an all-encompassing training evolution, it’s a simple test, like most standardized drills.
The guy who devised it has BTDT and knows his shit for sure.
