Week 396: Draws and Reloads

Results may be posted until December 5th, 2020.

Designed by: Todd Louis Green
Range: 7 yards
Target: 8" circle
Start Position: Holstered
Rounds Fired: 60

This week we are really going to drill, repeating similar techniques multiple times to build skill.

First, draw and fire 3 rounds at the 8" circle. Record your total time and your draw (first shot). Repeat for a total of 10 runs, 30 rounds.

Second, draw and fire 1 round at the 8" circle, reload, and fire two more rounds at the 8" circle. Record your total time, your draw, and your reload. Repeat for a total of 10 runs, 30 rounds.

(This is just like the first two parts of the 99 Drill, but on a much bigger target so you should be able to push your speed accordingly.)

If you cannot draw from the holster, instead begin from a ready position.

Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

- Starting position (ready position, open holster, retention holster, or concealed)
- Type of reload you performed (slidelock, in battery, magazine retention)
- Total time for ten 3-shot draws, and number of shots missed if any
- Total time for ten 1-R-2, and number of shots missed if any
- Best and worst time for the draws (all 20, from both strings of fire)
- Best and worst reload
- Anything you noticed
