The nice thing about this drill isn't the drill, it's the concept.
Whatever your combination of target size and distance may be, set a par for a fixed number of shots and work it down to where the wheels come off.
The concept doesn’t fill a video with gratuitous slow-motion footage of WC 1911s.Quote:

Terrible advertisement for whatever Glock he was shooting, though.
Same concept as a drill that Rob Leatham has been teaching for some time.
The video in this link is from 2011:

I understand and appreciate your point on the drill/evaluation, but in the video, Mr. Hackathorn is shooting a 1911 pistol.Quote:

The video by promotes by inference the 1911, Wilson products, etc., but it also is educational and I think anything that promotes skill improvement is a good thing.
Several paths (or instructors/commenters) can lead to the same place...
The video is on the Wilson Combat channel with footage shot/edited by a crew paid for by Wilson Combat. Of course it is going to feature Wilson Combat products.
The Leatham video sure did feature a lot of Action Target product...
Ironically both using 9mm 1911's if I remember correctly.Quote:
