Give This Drill a Go!

This guide details the Mozambique Drill, also known as the Failure Drill, as demonstrated by Aaron from Wilson Combat. It's a critical self-defense and tactical training exercise that emphasizes speed, accuracy, and recoil control. The drill involves drawing from a holster and delivering two shots to the chest followed by one precise shot to the head, all within a strict time limit of 3 seconds or less at 7 yards. The instruction highlights proper grip, sight acquisition, and a specific cadence for shot placement.

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 video addresses a common issue in competitive shooting: dropping points due to rushed target transitions. The instructor emphasizes that the problem often stems from not visually confirming shots and moving the gun too quickly. The core technique involves dry-firing with a deliberate pause on each target, focusing on the sight's position and ensuring both shots are completed before transitioning. This method aims to build better habits without sacrificing speed in live fire.

This video demonstrates a 'Bill Drill' using the Fusion XP Comp pistol, showcasing advanced shooting techniques. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, focuses on rapid target engagement, efficient reloads, and recoil control. Key takeaways include maintaining accuracy during high-stress drills and utilizing a shot timer for performance analysis.

This video critiques a dangerous firearms training scenario where an instructor's technique leads to an accidental discharge into the ceiling. The speaker, identified as John Lovell from Warrior Poet Society, emphasizes the critical importance of choosing qualified trainers, warning that 'budget' instruction can have severe consequences, ranging from wasted time and money to potentially life-threatening accidents. The expert instruction highlights the risks associated with poor firearm handling and the necessity of proper training protocols.

This video provides a detailed approach to diagnosing and correcting accuracy issues during rapid fire shooting, specifically focusing on the common problem of the second shot in a double-tap going low. Instructor Joel Park outlines drills to help shooters identify subconscious over-input, such as pushing into the gun during recoil, and emphasizes the importance of understanding sight tracking and proper trigger control at speed. The advice is geared towards improving practical shooting accuracy and understanding firearm mechanics.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
