    MARCH 2014 Drills

    Results may be posted until 11:59 EST on Tuesday 1-April-2014
    You may do as many or as few of these drills as you wish.

    Only post your results or questions about the drills in this thread. It is not intended for general discussion about drills or other people's results.

    You may post results for any one drill only once per month. If you shoot a particular drill more than once, do not keep updating your results with new posts. They will be deleted without warning. However, you can post each individual drill (e.g., Drill 91 and Drill 92) separately if you do not do them all at once.




    Drill 91: G&R Tactical Drill #1
    Range: 10yd
    Target: IDPA Target ("level 1") or NRA B8 + IDPA head ("level 2")
    Start position: holstered, hands a sides
    Rounds fired: 15

    All shooting is from the holster and done freestyle.

    • Load gun with four rounds; have spare magazine with at least one round.
    • On buzzer, draw and fire four rounds to body (IDPA 8in -0 zone "level 1" or black 10/9-rings of NRA B8 "level 2")
    • Reload, one round to 6x6 head box of IDPA target.
    • Repeat for a total of three runs, 15 rounds

    Misses to the body (-0 zone "level 1" or black of NRA B8 "level 2") add two seconds to your time. Missing the head shot is an automatic fail.

    Passing time is 8 seconds or less per 5-shot run.

    If you cannot draw from a holster, remove one second from the PAR time and report your score from a ready position which has the muzzle off the target by at least three feet for the beginning of each string.

    Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
    • "level 1" or "level 2" attempt
    • pistol and holster used
    • Hits and times for each run, pass or fail

    Drill 92: G&R Tactical Drill #2
    Range: 10yd
    Target: IDPA Target
    Start position: holstered, hands a sides
    Rounds fired: 18

    All shooting is from the holster and done freestyle.

    • Load one magazine with three rounds; one magazine with two rounds; and one magazine with one round.
    • Randomly place one magazine in the gun without knowing how many rounds are in it; place the other two magazines in your magazine pouches randomly.
    • On buzzer, draw and fire until empty, reload, fire until empty, reload, fire until empty.
    • Repeat for a total of three runs, 18 rounds


    Misses to the body (-0 zone) add two seconds to your time.

    Passing time is 11 seconds or less per 6-shot run.

    If you cannot draw from a holster, remove one second from the PAR time and report your score from a ready position which has the muzzle off the target by at least three feet for the beginning of each string.

    Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
    • pistol and holster used

    Drill 93: Surprise Reload Drill
    (originally posted 16-July-2012 as Drill 36 and was the pistol-training.com Drill of the Week 17-Feb-2008)

    Range: 7 yards
    Target: 8" circle
    Start position: concealed
    Rounds fired: 27

    This drill determines how much time is added to our reload when we don't plan for it at a specific point during a string of fire.

    First, establish a baseline. Draw and fire 1 round at the 8" circle, reload, and fire two more rounds at the 8" circle. Record the time for the reload (time between first and second shot). If you missed any of the three shots, repeat until you get a clean run.

    Next, randomly load a total of 24 rounds into five magazines (or 23 if you've got a round in your chamber already). Make sure there are at least two rounds in each magazine.

    Next, you'll work on the surprise reloads. On the buzzer you will draw and fire exactly three rounds. If at any point your gun runs dry, reload it and finish the three shots. If the pistol goes dry after the three rounds are fired, simply reload it and reholster without firing any additional shots. You should get eight reps of the 3-shot drill.

    Each time you reload within the 3-shot string (as opposed to after firing all three), record the time it took you to perform the reload. Find the average of time of those reloads.

    Note: you can cheat by purposely setting up your magazines to go empty at known times... in which case you might as well not do the drill.

    Please report the following when responding to this thread:
    • Start position (concealed, retention holster, open/range holster, ready position)
    • Time for the first "planned" reload
    • Average time for the "unplanned" reloads
    • Number of hits (out of 72) on the 8" circle

    Drill 94: The 4567 Drill
    (originally posted 17-Dec-2012 as DotW #58)

    designed by Chris Edwards (Glock Professional, Inc.) and Todd Louis Green
    Range: 7yd
    Target: 6" circle (download pdf here)
    Start position: varies, see below
    Rounds fired: 20

    The 4567 was inspired by Gila Hayes’s “5Χ4″ drill and the various iterations thereof.

    The drill is run four times, five rounds each, on a six inch circle, at seven yards. A shot timer is used to begin each string of fire. The four strings of fire are:

    1. draw and fire 5 rounds from concealment, two-handed
    2. draw and fire 5 rounds from concealment, strong hand only
    3. from the ready position fire 5 rounds, weak hand only
    4. draw and fire 5 rounds from concealment, two-handed (repeat of string 1)


    For any shot outside of the 6″ circle, add 1 second to your time. Total the times (and penalties) for all four strings to determine your overall score:

    Basic score total time with penalties is 4+5+6+7 = 22 seconds
    Intermediate is 5+6+7 seconds = 18 seconds
    Advanced is 6+7 = 13 seconds

    Please report the following when responding to this thread:
    • Start position (concealed, retention holster, open/range holster, ready position)
    • Time and hits for each string
    • Total time, hits, and rating

    All drills shot with CZ SP-01 AccuShadow from a Blade-Tech Black Ice belt holster, worn openly, surrender start. I used a USPSA target rather than an IDPA target, because that's what I had on hand.

    Drill #91
    1 - 3.61s clean.
    2 - 3.43s clean.
    3 - 3.49s clean.

    Drill #92
    1 - 5.99 + 2.00 = 7.99s.
    2 - 12.37s clean. Major stoppage on reload #2.
    3 - 6.62 + 2.00 = 8.62s.
    Save for the nasty malfunction, reloads were all in the 1.7x-1.8x range.

    Drill #93
    Money reload = 1.64s.
    1 - 2.06s.
    2 - off the clock.
    3 - off the clock.
    4 - 1.77s.
    5 - off the clock.
    Note - I hate this drill, because every time I set it up I end up doing most of the reloads off the clock. I think that I may be hexed.

    Drill #94
    3.19s clean.
    5.17s clean.
    4.89s clean.
    3.48s clean.
    Total = 16.73. Doing this drill clean in under 13 seconds would be pretty solid shooting by my lights.

    All drills shot with M&P9f (iron sights) from a SME under an untucked polo

    Drill 91: G&R Tactical Drill #1

    Level 1 attempt

    7.79 clean, pass
    7.01 clean, pass
    7.50 + 4 = 11.50 (-2B -1H), fail. Flubbed the draw on the last run and rushed to make it up. Didn't work out so well.


    Drill 92: G&R Tactical Drill #2

    10.89 + 6 = 16.89 (-3), fail. Not a great drill to try cold.
    10.11 clean, pass
    10.95 clean, pass. Hooked the baseplate of the third mag when I drew the first reload. Last mag fell to the deck. Ran the gun dry, retrieved the last mag, reloaded, and still finished in time. Guess I could have gone faster on the first two runs.


    Drill 93: Surprise Reload Drill

    Baseline (cold): 3.07
    Average of four unplanned reloads: 2.89
    26/27 hits


    Drill 94: The 4567 Drill

    4.03 + 2 = 6.03 (-2)
    5.49 (-0)
    7.90 (-0)
    4.55 (-0)
    Total = 23.97

    Not even basic with penalties.
