August marked our first Drill of the Month for NVFAC Member Range Time. This optional drill provides attendees with guided challenges to test their skill. Targets are provided.
We started simple with the 5x5 as popularized by Claude Werner. Five rounds, at five yards, in five seconds into a five inch circle. Repeat for a total of five iterations to show consistency.
Seems simple enough, but some found it to be surprisingly challenging to combine time and accuracy standards.
A few attendees seemed very happy with the 5x5, and commented that they'll be adding it to their own practice sessions.
For an added challenge, Dan, our Southern Area Division Coordinator, ran this from Strong Hand Only, Weak Hand Only, and from Mirror Image with both his J-Frame and full size automatic.
Our next Member Range Time is on 11 September.
We'll have a new Drill of the Month ready for our attendees!
