John 'Shrek' McPhee, a former Tier 1 Special Operations member and founder of SOB Tactical, introduces the 'Placement Test' drill. This drill, consisting of 3 rounds in 3 seconds from 3 yards, is designed to rapidly diagnose fundamental shooting flaws, particularly in the draw stroke and aiming process. McPhee emphasizes its diagnostic value, stating that even a few rounds can reveal significant issues with eye placement or draw mechanics.

The D.O.P.E. Drill assesses raw shooting ability against a static target by measuring speed and accuracy across five distances. It emphasizes pushing past comfort zones, accepting 'less than perfect' sight pictures for increased speed, and maintaining fundamental discipline under pressure. Analyzing 'friction points' helps shooters understand their true capabilities and limitations.

This video introduces the D.O.P.E. Drill V2, a progressive diagnostic accountability drill focused on shooting for Hit Factor. The drill involves engaging targets at various distances with five rounds from each yard line, timed from an auditory signal. Participants are scored based on A-Zone (5 points), C-Zone (3 points), and D-Zone (1 point) hits, with penalties for misses or hits outside the scoring zones. The goal is to achieve a high Hit Factor, defined as Total Score divided by Total Time, with target scores of 20+ for rifles and 10+ for pistols. The description also encourages seeking training from Achilles Heel Tactical.

The D.O.P.E. (Data On Previous Engagement) drill is a diagnostic tool for shooters to establish a performance baseline. By systematically increasing distance and recording shot timer data, shooters identify their point of failure and areas for improvement. The drill emphasizes visual confirmation, trigger control, and understanding 'dot feedback' to achieve consistent accuracy under pressure.
