Results may be posted until June 26th, 2017.
Designed by: Todd Louis Green
Range: Varies
Target: 3x5 card
Start Position: Shooter's choice
Rounds Fired: Varies
You will need a shot timer for this drill.
Similar to last week's Speed Push, the Range Push is designed to force you to work harder at hitting a low% target under time pressure. Instead of lowering the time, this week we'll increase the distance.
Start position is up to the shooter but should be consistent throughout the drill. The 3x5 card should be placed horizontally (3" tall and 5" wide).
There are two strings of fire:
String 1:
During the first string, your goal is to get 100% hits.
- On the beep, fire two rounds at the 3x5 at 5yd; record the time and the number of hits
- Repeat until you get three clean runs
String 2:
During the second string, your goal is to push yourself to manipulate the gun faster.
- Set a PAR time equal to the middle speed run (not fastest, not slowest) you had during String 1.
- Put the target out to 6yd
- On the beep, fire two rounds at the 3x5 card trying to get both shots off before the PAR time is up
- If you got both hits under the PAR add 1yd to the distance of the target and go again at the same PAR
- If you failed to get both hits under the PAR, go back to the last distance (one less yard) and try to do three clean runs in a row at that distance
- Keep decreasing the distance until you can get three clean runs in a row under PAR, then stop and record your distance
Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
- Start position (ready, open holster, concealed, retention holster)
- PAR used
- distance at which you were able to get three clean runs under PAR
