Balance of Speed & Precision Target and Drill

BALANCE OF SPEED & PRECISION TARGET

Rob Pincus designed this target because he didn’t like paper targets that have just one target area. They aren’t versatile and, with just one area to aim at, they get shot up pretty quickly during handgun training courses and have to be replaced. The BOS&P Target gives you a lot to do, and you can put a lot of rounds into it.

It has three high-center-chest-size target areas and seven head-shot-size target areas, one of which is a triangle representing the line across the eyes. The other six are small circles, with the top of the circle representing the bridge of the nose.

The Balance of Speed & Precision Target is sold by Action Target under the name Combat Focus Training Target and is reasonably priced, especially in bulk and when you consider how long you can shoot on it because of its numerous target areas.

On the BOS&P Target, all hits inside the target areas are considered equal when doing the BOS&P Drill. There are no extra points for a tight group in the center of the chest target. If you want to shoot a higher level of precision, shoot at the smaller circular targets. In Rob’s courses, he does some handgun shooting drills where students shoot at just the numbered targets or just the A and B targets.

BALANCE OF SPEED & PRECISION DRILL

The standard Balance of Speed & Precision Drill involves alternately shooting the chest-size targets and the head-size targets based on commands from a training partner or instructor. Through the drill, shooters change their Balance of Speed & Precision based on what the shot being taken needs.

Rob demonstrates the drill and explains how the drill lets you determine your appropriate Balance of Speed & Precision.
