What are the key elements of Daniel Horner's six-point grip system?

Horner's system includes: 1) Index finger knuckle on trigger guard, 2) High backstrap grip, 3) Support hand index knuckle placement, 4) Hands meeting at the rear, 5) Support thumb on takedown lever, and 6) Strong thumb wrapping over the support hand.

What is the '20 Alpha' drill for advanced shooters?

The '20 Alpha' drill involves shooting five rounds at a 20-yard distance into a 6x12 inch target area. Shooters must complete this drill in under 2.25 seconds and repeat it four times for maximum effectiveness.
