John Shoots his 'whack-a-mole' Drill
This video features John Lovell demonstrating his 'whack-a-mole' drill during a pistol class at Clint Smith's Thunder Ranch. The drill is designed for scenarios where immediate fire superiority is not achievable. Lovell emphasizes a proactive approach to cover, focusing on gaining ground rather than retreating. The drill simulates a high-pressure situation where the shooter must quickly and effectively engage an unseen enemy who has them pinned down, with the coach providing a cadence for the shooter's engagement window before they must return to cover. The video also includes links to the Warrior Poet Store, recommended gear, and training opportunities.
