Weather a competitive shooter, police officer, military or law abiding citizen the only way to keep skills sharp is to train often. Here is a drill I use often. "Train Hard, Train Safe, Train Often". “EL Presidente” This drill is a classic and was created by the late Col. Jeff Copper. Range: 10yd Target: three IPSC or IDPA targets spaced 1yd from each other shoulder to shoulder Start position: back to targets, hands above shoulders (“surrender position”), pistol concealed Rounds fired: 12 At the start signal, turn, then draw and fire two rounds at each of the three targets. Perform a reload, then fire two rounds at each target again. There should be four hits on each target for a total of twelve. The classic standard was to perform the drill in under ten seconds with all A-zone hits. Any run with less than 12 A-zone hits was a failure. There have been many variations of this drill, including the “Vice-Presidente” which begins with the shooter facing the targets and which is usually performed at 7yd instead of 10yd distance.
