100 Round Pistol Warmup

This video details the Haley Strategic '9-Line Warm-up,' a 100-round handgun drill designed for efficient practice using STKY targets. It breaks down the drill into distinct lines focusing on grip mechanics ('Feel, Pins, Friction, Leverage'), optic usage ('Eyes'), trigger manipulation ('Finger'), and rhythm/cadence exercises. The drill culminates in speed drills and a distance test ('C Drill') to build proficiency under pressure.

This video explains cadence as a training tool, not an engagement strategy, to identify issues in multi-round engagements. By shooting at a consistent temporal rhythm, shooters can detect breakdowns in grip endurance, recoil management, or sight tracking. Maintaining cadence indicates a solid grip and effective vision, while interruptions reveal underlying problems.

This expert-level guide details the Haley Strategic Combat Effectiveness Test (CET) static block drill, a foundational exercise for handgun proficiency. It emphasizes structured progression, target engagement within scoring rings, and the critical balance between speed and accuracy. Instruction from Haley Strategic Partners highlights how to effectively use par times and cadence of fire for continuous improvement.

This video introduces the Haley Strategic Performance Training Target, designed to consolidate multiple drills into a single platform. It covers warm-up sequences like eyes closed, rhythm, and feels eye finger, along with progressive distance training. The target also facilitates variable combat effectiveness tests using different sized hit zones and allows for scoring of static, manipulation, and movement principles. Additionally, a 1-inch grid is included for precise carbine zeroing.

This video from Tactical Rifleman introduces the 'Rhythm Drill' to improve target shifting speed and maintain a consistent shooting cadence. The instructor emphasizes starting slow with one-second counts, then progressing to half and quarter-second counts, ensuring the physical movement between targets is autonomous and faster than the shot cadence. The drill is designed to eliminate lulls between shots on multiple targets, building a smooth, rhythmic engagement.

This guide details advanced handgun and carbine training drills using the Recoil Magazine Issue #18 Target, as demonstrated by Travis Haley. It covers acclimation, rhythm, and precision drills for handguns, and carbine zeroing and Combat Effectiveness Target (CET) drills. The instruction emphasizes neuromuscular efficiency, ballistic understanding, and balancing speed with accuracy, reflecting a high level of expertise.

This video from TA Targets details an unusual warranty claim involving a steel target with a large penetration hole. The manufacturer's representative, demonstrating high expertise in ballistics and steel properties, analyzes the damage. They conclude that the hole was likely caused by a .50 BMG Mk 211 Mod 0 (Raufoss) round, not the customer's claimed .300 Win Mag, despite the customer's assertion. TA Targets ultimately replaced the target as a gesture of customer support, highlighting their commitment to service even when the damage isn't a manufacturing defect.

This video demonstrates a rapid-fire drill on the TA Targets Phoenix Plate Rack using a PACT Club Timer III. The shooter, exhibiting high authority and expertise, successfully engages all six AR550 steel plates with a handgun. The drill emphasizes clean draw from concealment and high accuracy during rapid fire, showcasing proficient firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a head-to-head competition using the TA Targets Competition Dueling Tree. Two shooters utilize semi-automatic handguns to rapidly flip six reactive steel paddles, showcasing speed and accuracy in a dynamic drill. The drill emphasizes high-speed target transitions and proficient use of modern optics, as demonstrated by experienced shooters on an outdoor range.

This guide, from TA Targets, details the setup and deployment of 'backpack guns' as a supplement to a primary handgun. It emphasizes the 'gray man' philosophy for concealment, comparing draw times between handguns and rifles, and showcases specific builds like a 10.3-inch 5.56 AR pistol and a Veritas Tactical .300 Blackout SBR. The instruction highlights the importance of realistic range training with your chosen setup.
