Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Haley Strategic 9-Line Handgun Warm-up?

The Haley Strategic 9-Line Warm-up is a 100-round handgun drill designed to efficiently train fundamental shooting skills. It utilizes STKY targets with small circles to focus on grip, sight picture, trigger control, and draw stroke under timed conditions.

How does the 9-Line Warm-up improve grip?

The drill dedicates specific lines to grip mechanics, emphasizing 'Pins' to secure the grip, 'Friction' to maintain it, and 'Leverage' for control during the gun's extension. This systematic approach ensures a solid and consistent hold.

What is the '9010 finish flat' technique?

The '9010 finish flat' is a trigger control technique where the trigger finger remains flat and pointed towards the target after the shot is fired. This aids in a clean reset and prepares for subsequent shots without unnecessary movement.

What is the purpose of the DeLorean Draw drill?

The DeLorean Draw drill is designed to build a smooth and consistent draw stroke by progressively decreasing the time limit for drawing and firing. It helps create a strong neuro-pathway by linking conscious time intervals with physical movement.
