Race to the Middle

The link will take you to a YouTube video of a drill from my Defensive Pistol Skills class.

Race to the Middle

The inside paper target for each shooter is designated as a no-shoot, and since the lifestyle rules of possessing a firearm don't allow us to point a firearm at things we don't intend to shoot they are also no-muzzle.  Failure to avert the muzzle results in a DQ.  The steel down range is an 8" gong and a speed popper for each shooter.  One of each is painted red while the other is painted white.

The go command is the color call.  The shooter has to draw and put at least two hits in the 8" center mass circle on the paper target.  Failure to get two hits is a failure to neutralize.  The shooter then averts their muzzle to get by the no-shoot, and then they hit the correct color gong followed by the correct color popper.  

Shooting in a man-on-man in a race gives the drill competitive pressure.  Having to divert from the no-shoot makes the shooter apply proper lifestyle rules, and then the colored targets requires proper target identification.

Thanks for posting Deputy Weems.

I appreciate the muzzle aversion, especially with the "competition" pressure of a man on man shoot. Keeping our training and practice oriented towards a 3D real world is a must.

And...it looks like it'd fun as well.
