Pretty straightforward drill.
I would add some weak hand shooting to that as well

 

[HansGruber]

I like it.

A buddy and I are going to meet tomorrow evening and run some drills; I’m going to add this one in.

I agree with Ford. Add weak hand stages. Solid drill though.

Interesting. Out to 10 yards, all of my practice is draw and fire one handed. Beyond that I move to using both hands and it may or may not be draw and fire depending on where I am. Many ranges don't allow live weapon draws and I only use that type of range when I need greater distances that 10 yards, or to qualify once a year.

Weak hand and several position shooting is a must for serious close quarters combat training. Gunsite, at least years ago, had some of the best training programs around.

Petty straight forward. And I agree with the weak hand to.

 

[KillerFord1977]

Those drills work well. Slight

modification

Didn’t take pics, but...my buddy and I graded this drill fairly harshly, on a strict pass/fail scheme...more than 2.5 seconds? Fail. Push a round out of the head, even if it was a good body hit? Fail. Draw out of concealment (I was running my P30SK OWB with a shirt over it, he was running a VP9 IWB the same)...it's not easy.

Fun stuff, though. Think I might post a few more drills tomorrow.
