Description: Become a better shooter in just 10-minutes per day with our free 30-day Dryfire Program here: https://freedryfire.com/YT/  Today Craig shows us a very simple and easy drill that will hit all of your fundamental skills. He explains why a drill like this is useful to practice. COVER THE BASICS DRILL TARGETS YOU CAN USE: IALEFI-Q, IDPA Cardboard, or RFTS-Q target - 10 points for any hit inside the 8 inch circle in the chest, or inside the head ring. 5 points for any hit inside the silhouette but outside the 8”circle or the head ring. COURSE OF FIRE: Drill- Begin with the weapon holstered and concealed, loaded with only two rounds. On signal, draw, fire 2 rounds to the chest, conduct an empty gun reload, fire 2 more rounds to the chest, then one to the head circle. Record the time for the string. Fire the drill at 5 yards. Fire the drill at 10 yards. 10 rounds total. 100 points possible. Add all the times up. Total points divided by total time = score. (Hit factor scoring) Par score = 6 Goal is a score of 6 or higher. This drill covers a concealed presentation from the holster, fast accurate shooting, an empty gun reload, and a transition to a smaller target. It also requires a timing shift when changing from 5 yards to 10 yards. This integrates a number of important skills in one fairly quick, low round count exercise. Give it a try. https://rangemaster.com/newsletter/
