The ptg cold start drill
The PTG Cold Start drill is designed to test your on-demand, cold shooting performance. I highly recommend running a cold start drill as you arrive at the range. Cold start drills will give you an accurate representation of where you are as a shooter and will give you a general idea of what to work on.
This drill is a total of 7 rounds in 6 seconds from 5 yards. On buzzer, you will draw and fire 1 round center, 2 left, 1 center, 2 right, and 1 center.
To successfully complete this drill, you will have to ensure consistent input, trigger control, and maintaining focus on the target.
“Eight in Five” Drill
The Eight In Five drill is a drill that can help you recognize your on-demand performance. This drill consists of the target at 10 yards. On buzzer, you will draw and fire 8 rounds with a 5 second par time. Any miss outside the square is a fail.
I encourage you to try this drill, even starting at 3 to 5 yards and working your way back. To successfully complete this drill, you must ensure you maintain target focus, consistent input, and not over-confirming your sights.
