First, Ordinary Citizen shoots handgun drills at 25-Yard Reps. 1min 20sec.
That’s a goal to work toward. We’ve provided some training below to help you get there.
Next, another draw-and-shoot handgun drill:
Bill Drill, (for) Bill Wilson
IPSC target
Teaches: draw, grip, rapid-fire, recoil control, “adequate” rather than “perfect” sight picture.
Brian Enos puts master-level time for this Drill at 2.0 seconds.
Surrender Postition facing the target
With one IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) target 7 yards away, start from surrender position, draw, and fire 6 shots into the A-zone. If any shots miss the A-zone, the time does not count, so the emphasis is on accuracy before speed.
Variations: for a beginner, bring the target as close as 8 feet, or start from low ready instead of holstered. Shoot as fast as you can while keeping the shots in the A-zone and keeping a feeling of control over the gun. The point is to get used to the feeling of controlled rapid fire, learning to watch the sight, and familiarizing yourself with rapid-fire recoil characteristics. Drawing from the holster helps you to learn to acquire a good shooting grip; otherwise the gun will start to feel out of control. If you are missing the A-zone, you’re making mistakes. SLOW DOWN and do it right. This Drill can be a real ammo burner.
For brand-new shooters or rusty shooters, 7 yards is too far for starting out. Increase distance from the target as improvement grows with practice while gaining confidence as you go. Also, you may want to rehearse smoothly drawing your weapon while unloaded to get the hang of it before going to live rounds.
The object is to get proficient at close range – from drawing your weapon through to proper shot placement on target. Improving the time to get the muzzle on target accurately is the goal. It’s not recommended to become static in these drills. Move to new angles, distances, and target types over time while maintaining accuracy.
This one comes from handgun law dot us. Always check with Handgun law dot us for all fifty States’ handgun carry law information.
