Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my pivot speed in dynamic pistol drills like the El Prez?

To improve pivot speed, focus on lifting your heels slightly off the ground before initiating the turn. This allows for faster rotation. Maintaining intimate contact with the ground through proper footwork is key to spinning as fast as possible.

When is the right time to draw my pistol during a dynamic shooting drill?

You should establish your master grip before drawing. Crucially, do not draw the firearm out of retention until your sternum, or center line, is aligned on target downrange. This ensures safety and control.

Why is it important to vary target engagement directions in shooting drills?

Varying target engagement directions, such as alternating between left-to-right and right-to-left sequences, helps break up monotony. This prevents developing a strong side bias and ensures balanced proficiency across different movement patterns.

What is the primary goal of the footwork in a modified El Prez drill?

The primary goal of the footwork is to maintain intimate contact with the ground, enabling rapid and controlled pivoting. This allows the shooter to spin as fast as possible and acquire targets efficiently after the draw.
