Week 69: Triple Nickel (or iHack)

[CCT125US]

Even though they are in the same DoW, I can't imagine two drills more different, in terms of what is necessary to do them well, than the iHack and Triple Nickel.

They do share two similarities, (1) hit targets, (2) under par

KSTG Match, 28 May 2013, NRA Range

Start position (concealed)
Time 6.24
10 hits
Glock 17 Gen 4, JM Custom Kydex AIWB holster.

I performed this drill a second time, but turned off my Contour Roam before recording my time (like a bonehead) ....

Start Position: Concealed
Time: 7.14
10 hits
Glock 17 GEN4; Raven Concealment Systems Phantom OWB

Shot this drill cold on Tuesday night. Tried to go too fast - I felt sloppy and know I was focusing on the targets rather than the sights during this run.

It was 6.28 clean. My idea to use KSTG as a chance for folks to shoot the Triple Nickel failed because of the penalty incurred for hitting about 2/3 of the "acceptable" target. We should have just made the entire A/B/C target down zero and let people run amok. We'll know for next time.

Origami, didn't you see the special note -- you only get to do the iHack version since Triple Nickel is so far down your alley! You must have been busy, because this is a few days later than I was expecting.

Didn't get the memo. I was really liking the Triple Nickel as one end of our drill spectrum last night and I dig it as a drill to push transition speed down even if the targets are big and easy.

Agreed -- I am just jealous of folks with 5 target stands! Out here in remote Alaska, we have one target stand and two MGM 8 inch steel plates, so iHack it is!
