This video introduces "The Chaos Drill," a new shooting exercise developed by AHT Instructor Paul Costa, building upon the AHT D.O.P.E. Drill. The drill utilizes a standard USPSA target, marked 5-yard increments from 5 to 25 yards, and requires two magazines. Participants, drawing from either OWB or IWB holsters, must fire three shots at the A-zone, then reload and fire two shots at the t-box headshot area. The drill is scored using Hit Factor (total points divided by total time), with points assigned to A (5), C (3), D (1), and a penalty for misses (-10). A hit factor of 5+ is considered good. The description also includes a link to AHT's training website.

The objective is to divide the total score by the total time, with a good High Factor (HF) considered to be 6.00. The video references USPSA targets, indicating a context within practical shooting competitions.
