1 & 3 Drill
Personal Defense Network EditorsDescription
Being serious about Armed Defense means being serious about your practice, which is why Personal Defense Network is excited to present the FREE 5 Drills in 5 Days Challenge. Today’s drill is the 1 & 3 Drill. If you need to stop someone with one shot, it’s very unlikely that your target will be static as you’re setting up the shot. This drill is designed to help you train to track a moving target a deliver the shot you need. Perform this drill three times.
All right, this is the 1 & 3 drill. Now the 1 & 3 drill's based on this concept, that if you have to take a head shot, you have to stop someone with one shot into the midbrain, the base of the brain, the top of the spine, then you need to do that with one shot because it's very unlikely that the head is gonna be perfectly still and wait for your follow-up shot. So if you put a shot off the cheekbone, or on the skull, or whiz by somebody's head, their head's probably gonna move. By the time you manage recoil, reset the trigger, you're gonna have to reacquire the target, reacquire a sight line and sight picture. You're not gonna be taking multiple shots at a static, three-inch circle. So we're gonna take a shot at the red circle. I'm gonna come in and assess. And then I'm gonna drive back out and take a shot at all three different black circles as if to replicate the idea that I'm shooting and then you need to track that leading hit, right? So different from how we normally do it. We're gonna do this three times. And I'm gonna go ahead and change magazine for the last round. And that's it, the 1 & 3 drill.
Just wanted to confirm how far back you are shooting this drill from. It looks like 3 yds? or maybe 5 yds? Please confirm. thanks
