The drills are presented with personal performance times to encourage viewers to track their own progress.

This video from Geauga Firearms Academy debunks the myth of shooting specific body parts like the hand or leg to stop a threat. Instructor Kim explains that the primary goal of using deadly force is to stop the threat, not to kill. He emphasizes that under extreme stress, aiming for small targets like hands or legs is ineffective due to reduced accuracy and the presence of vital arteries in those areas. The instruction highlights that center mass is the recommended target area because it's the largest and most accessible under duress, a principle used by law enforcement and military. The video also stresses the importance of de-escalation and using alternative, less-lethal methods if available before resorting to deadly force.
