Week 297: Leatham Three Grasp Drill
Results may be posted until December 30th, 2018.
Designed by: Rob Leatham
Range: 7 and 15 yards
Target: USPSA Metric
Start Position: Holstered
Rounds Fired: 12
This is a short test of gunhandling and shooting freestyle, strong hand, and support hand only.
Part one at the 7 yard line: At the start signal, draw and shoot two shots freestyle, two shots strong hand only, transfer to support hand only, and shoot two shots support hand only. All shots to the lower A-zone. Record your time and hits.
Part two at the 15 yard line: Same drill (draw and shoot two each freestyle, SHO, and WHO, six shots total), but targeting the 6x6" head box (A/B zone.) Record your time and hits.
Alternatively, if your range won't allow drawing from a holster, then start with the gun laying on the bench, slide forward on an empty chamber, but loaded magazine in the gun. At the start signal, retrieve pistol, rack slide, and shoot as previously specified.
Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
