Happy New Year everyone! I hope you were all able to start the year off right by busting some caps. I ran across a drill earlier that I thought might be a good one for January. It’s simple and only requires 10rds. It comes from a guy I follow on Instagram named Joe Farewell.
Place a target, IDPA or USPSA, at 10yds.
Draw and fire two rounds, reload, fire two more rounds, then fire three rounds string hand only, then transition to your weak hand and fire three more rounds. There’s a 10 second par time. Any shots outside the -0 or A zone with be time penalized accordingly. Good luck and enjoy!

Sounds like fun, are we running this one from concealment?

It’s more of a mechanics and fundamentals drill so I’d say it isn’t required. However if you want to challenge yourself even further then by all means. :thumbs:

Assuming a 1911, is the safety engaged during the hand-to-hand transition ?

I’d say that’d be up to the individual, their experience and their comfort level.

Strong/weak transition, safety on for the transition seems a might bit challenging with a single sided safety

Well I finally got a chance to attempt this months drill. I didn’t make the par time and dropped one shot, making my overall time even worse. Oh well, more practice.

Sorry about that siren, it was noon and time to test it. I also thought I had myself and the target in the frame. Obviously I was wrong. Fail all around. :bang:

Holy **** this drill is deceptively hard. I ran it three times from concealment and only cleaned it once. Best time was a 12.19 1 down. I used a USPSA rather than IDPA target cause that’s what I had.

I completely agree! I thought no problem reading the description. Yeah, I was wrong!

Going to try it.

Two replies that gave this months drill a try. This lack of involvement is exactly why this forum and the monthly drills tapered off to the point no one was posting or participating at all. :bang:

I tried this with my new colt special combat in 45. Best time was a 11.63 down zero. Most of my times were in the mid 12s with a miss or two. For sure much harder than it looks. Thanks for posting it Pete.

I’ve got at least three more drills up my sleeve to post for the following months.

Going to give this a shot tomorrow. No where allows drawing from a holster. I have no timer YET, but will try the challenge.

This morning,

Our public local shooting place, which is a range and gun store does not have the proper target. I purchased a timer for my phone and have blue tooth head sets. Going to see what we can do.

Later, I decidd to use a target for the A zone. I don't know how big is it, but if I can hit the target at 10 yards, good.

I used the timer for the firs time at the range. I fired my first attempt. Looked at the timed, 18 shots and 20 seconds. I thought well that is wrong, I did not screw around. I was at an indoor range. I turned the sensativity all the way down and the Echo up. Still no joy. Usually it said I fired about 18 shots in 18 seconds. I had the wife time me with a digital stop watch. Still 18 seconds.

It looks like the first target has 9 holes. The next one has 10.
Time results:
20.18
313.09
20.22
19.51
18.92

I fired the 10 rounds and hit stop on the phone. Best I could do today.
Had fun and thanks for the encouragement.

I am a Bullseye shooter. I also shoot Silhouette, Steel bowling pins and precision rifle. One good shot.
