This is a great drill I like to include in Pistol Fundamentals Level 2. I typically wait for Level 2 to incorporate "strings" of shots. This gives shooters the ability to build upon Level 1 and begin to focus on the importance of grip, body position, and prepping the trigger for follow up shots. You can find a lot of "times" on the internet for how quickly you should shoot this drill. My recommendation is to practice without worrying about your time until you become comfortable with the drill. Don't accept sloppy practice at a new task because you read it on the internet.

I wanted to give a quick recap of last weekend’s Pistol Fundamentals Level 1 class. The focus of level 1 is on being able to make precise shots and obtain tight shot groups. To do this there are two key fundamentals: sight alignment and trigger control. Start by aligning the front sight perfectly centered in the rear sight notch, with both tops level, and maintain sharp focus on the front sight—not the target. Next, ensure smooth trigger control by pressing the trigger straight back and taking up any slack first. This prevents disrupting your sight picture. Taking the slack out of the trigger helps avoid jerking or slapping the trigger, as it can pull your shots off target. Mastering these basics will lead to tighter, more precise groups on target. Trying to work on too many of the basics at one time usually leads to mental overload so make sure you go to the range with a training plan and limit the concepts you’re trying to work on.

Here's an example of the ball and dummy drill we'll be using for this weekend's Pistol Fundamentals Level 1. He has a laser which can be a helpful tool but isn't strictly necessary.

Here's a method for conducting immediate action on a failure to fire with your AR. While I don't teach this method, I like the demonstration he gives of popping a round off the magazine. I view that as a problem when loading, because you shouldn't be doing immediate action on an open bolt.

I'd added a few videos for handgun and wanted to add some rifle. I love the guys from Warrior Poets Society. This video is nice because it shows sort of what I like to teach in Defensive Rifle Level 1 and Level 2. The ready ups John does are a large part of Level 1 and the barricade work Paul does is all Level 2.

Ammo is scarce and getting to the range is getting more and more expensive. This video focuses on the most bang for your buck rifle drills. Paul kicks off th...

An old video of the GOAT Jerry Miculek running a modified Bill Drill with a .44 Mag. Around the 2:31 mark he starts talking about his split times. The typical person can get the CNS response for 4 shots per second about .25 per shot. He ran all 6 in 1.01 secs. That's blazing.
