21 shots +4 left over for each side

#1

Post by Pro2a »

Finally hit me that I can share any drills I may find helpful.
Being as this is my first drill post here, I must say I subscribe to Bruce Lee's theory that "here is all I know, use what works for you, and throw everything else out."
Everybody's different......
Here is a great little drill that encompasses just about all the SD basics.

My all-time favorite is the Five Dollar Drill.
Start facing 4 targets, edge to edge, at a distance of 2 feet (just out of fingertip reach). On signal, from concealment, draw and put one round on each, as fast as possible.

Tip: To avoid destroying targets with muzzle blast, cut out the center scoring zone of each target. (Called a "negative target.") If you have no bullet hole on a target, that means your shot went through the center, as intended.

This drill is based on Bernie Goetz' encounter on the New York subway, during which one of the thugs said, "Hey man, gimme five dollars," and Goetz replied, "I have five dollars for each of you."
Bonus points if afterwards, you say "You don't look so bad, here's another," and put an extra round into T-4.

That casino drill looks to be more difficult than it sounds and would take a few go arounds to get the hang of it.
The 5 dollar will be fun to try.

The casino drill is an ammo-burner. Good way to deplete your stockpile. :mrgreen:
When Givens runs it, he uses the "whole hole" scoring method. If you clip the edge -- even from the inside -- that counts as a "miss." You need to have the whole hole inside the perimeter of the target. In other words, Givens is evil. :twisted:

Nice video, with my single stack I would get a lot of practice on trying to remember where I left off. I know that would be a challenge for me with also trying to keep it under time.
