Shooting the 5x5 Drill | Range Work Wednesday

This video demonstrates the Tier One Concealed '3 Bill Drill,' a shooting exercise that combines three distances (15, 10, and 7 yards) into a single drill. The objective is to achieve all shots within the 'A' zone (center mass) at each distance, emphasizing both speed and accuracy. The instructor aims to push their speed while maintaining precision, showcasing a practical training method for improving handgun proficiency.

This video details a training drill focused on improving the time between shots, known as 'splits'. Pat Mac emphasizes objective self-critique, focusing on recoil management and muzzle whip to achieve consistent and faster follow-up shots. The drill involves series of shots from the holster, with feedback mechanisms to adjust pace based on performance.

This guide details the Mozambique Drill, also known as the Failure Drill, as demonstrated by Aaron from Wilson Combat. It's a critical self-defense and tactical training exercise that emphasizes speed, accuracy, and recoil control. The drill involves drawing from a holster and delivering two shots to the chest followed by one precise shot to the head, all within a strict time limit of 3 seconds or less at 7 yards. The instruction highlights proper grip, sight acquisition, and a specific cadence for shot placement.

Ben Stoeger emphasizes precision over raw speed in target transitions. He advises focusing on a small spot on the target and letting the gun naturally follow your gaze, akin to using a mouse pointer. This technique, when mastered, allows for faster and more accurate transitions than 'driving' the gun or using physical cues like pointing thumbs. He suggests practicing for precision first, then gradually increasing speed while maintaining relaxation and control.

This guide details the process of zeroing a handgun optic, emphasizing the reduction of shooter error by using a stable rest. It covers firing initial groups, calculating adjustments based on optic specifications, and making incremental changes to achieve a precise point of impact at a recommended 25-yard distance, while acknowledging the impact of environmental factors like wind.

This video details the 'Rifle Pistol El Presidente' drill, an advanced tactical training exercise. It modifies the classic El Presidente pistol drill by adding a rifle component, requiring participants to rapidly engage multiple targets with a rifle before transitioning to a pistol for a second engagement. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and smooth transitions under a strict time limit, testing a shooter's ability to manage multiple firearms and engage targets effectively in a dynamic scenario.

Tessah Booth, an established firearms and outdoor content creator, demonstrates a practical approach to storing an AR-15 style rifle for home and campsite defense. The guide covers essential safety protocols for keeping a firearm accessible yet secure in a remote camping environment, emphasizing an unchambered storage condition with the safety engaged.

Tessah Booth, an expert in concealed carry for smaller frames, details her transition to the SIG P365X. She explains her previous experiences with the Glock 42 and Glock 48, highlighting the challenges of concealing the latter despite its capacity and optic readiness. Booth ultimately chose the P365X for its factory optics-ready slide, modular grip options, and a smoother trigger pull compared to Glocks, finding it a superior balance for her concealed carry needs.

This guide focuses on adapting to a new micro-compact handgun, specifically comparing the Sig Sauer P365 and Glock 48. It emphasizes that initial performance differences are normal and can be overcome through consistent dry fire and range practice. The speaker, an experienced shooter, highlights the importance of customization and understanding the unique characteristics of smaller firearms for concealed carry.

This guide compares the Holosun 407k and 507k red dot sights, drawing on the practical experience of firearms instructor Tessah Booth. Key differences in reticle options (6 MOA dot vs. 2 MOA dot/circle-dot MRS), visual feedback, and price point are detailed. The 407k is presented as a simpler, more affordable option ideal for beginners or budget-conscious users, while the 507k offers greater versatility for those seeking advanced reticle choices. The review emphasizes practical application for concealed carry firearms like the Glock 48 MOS.
