Exploding Out of a Position

Early morning, cold (in every way), hit a drill right of the rip without warm up. You won't have a warm up when you shoot when you need it so practice and see where you are at cold. This Drill is a simple drill where you have to decelerate from a forward run which taxes your fundamentals. It consists of two shots at each position of 25 yrds, advance to 20 yrds, 15 yrds and finally two shots at 10 yards. It is harder than it looks. Be sure to be 100% cold, no warm ups, sight picture, dry run or dry fire. Just grab the gun and go!

There is something challenging about decelerating from a forward run and shooting. The 25 yard shot right off the rip can be very humbling. At that distance it is about sights and trigger mechanics. However, as you finish at the 10 yard line, push your self, by this time you can use more natural point of aim and your transition time should be lower (faster).

I always train with the SIRT on the range even when I have a ton of ammo. Basically I work my shooting skill sets with drills and then go live. This saves time from loading mags, but moreover I tend to push my self harder when I shoot dry. In part because I am not burning $.20+/round, but in the end my live fire is much more productive.

This video introduces the "cage" where we are forced to stay low while doing drills. The cage mandates that we stay low and not creep up. Getting low and being comfortable in a crouch is a 1000 mile journey. Staying low requires leg strength, hip mobility and balance. All of these skill sets are not something that can be mastered in a training session, a week or even a year.
