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 emphasizes the critical distinction between performance-based and outcome-based training, particularly in shooting drills. The instructor, drawing from sports psychology principles, advocates for focusing on the process of executing shots accurately (performance) rather than solely on achieving a specific result like a fast time (outcome). By prioritizing correct technique and accuracy, students can overcome 'over-trying' and ultimately improve their speed and overall effectiveness. The book 'With Winning in Mind' by Lanny Bassham serves as a primary reference for these concepts, highlighting how mental management and focusing on the process lead to better results in shooting and life.

This video emphasizes that simply shooting ammunition at the range without a specific training goal may not lead to improvement. Instructor Joel Park demonstrates how to identify performance issues during live fire, such as grip problems or slow reloads.

The drill progresses from one shot to two shots for application in multiple-shot scenarios.

Conversely, for longer distances, the bipod should be positioned further forward for increased accuracy and to mitigate human error.
