The Five Yard Problem

[CCT125US]

Yesterday, I gave it a try cold.

97-7x

Pushed the LHO shots to the right into the 9 and 8 ring. Felt strange starting from ready, as most of my practice starts from the draw. Similar observation with the HiTS Super Test when I started shooting that. Definitely need to work on from the ready position.

AGREE, Its astonishing to see people who don't train to keep going, when things don't work as planned, stop when they boggle the draw, or boggle anything else for that matter.

Overall I agree its a good measure for most. I think a lot of folks here forget they are probably in the 1%. I doubt most people train on a regular basis.

Posted at the risk of sounding pretentious. When I was still doing the higher-education staff CCW there was one "training event" where I think my coworkers were worried about my mental health after I fired two rounds through my shirt in a retention drill after jacking up the draw. Good educational point for them.

Would also make a great DOTW.

Completely agree! Posted as the DotW!

I shot this drill today cold to start my range session.
Times per string
#1 - under time
#2 - 1.96
#3 - 2.38
#4 - 1.97

Score: 97. Threw the second weak hand only shot (string #4) high as the most egregious miss. Too bad I didn't use the extra half second I had left. I was afraid of going over time after the 2.38 on the string before though.

I shot it several more times after this but did not get a better score because of inconsistent one handed shooting (and shooting too fast)
