Stages for a drill to train concealed carry skills at the range

Drill Instructions by Stage

ACCURACY is a HandgunDrills.com standardized difficulty rating to describe the accuracy required to make any shot. The rating is calculated as the “distance in yards” divided by the “diameter in inches of the target zone”. Example: A 7″ target from 7 yards is a 1.0 rating and is used by many as an accuracy level for concealed carry competency drill tests. So for example, a 15″ target zone at 15 yards and a 5″ target zone at 5 yards also have an accuracy rating of 1.0. The higher the accuracy rating the harder the shot and the lower the rating the easier the shot. With this system you can easily estimate the accuracy required for any shot. (Note: All non-circular target zones are normalized to their equivalent circular target with a diameter of the same area.)

Scoring the Drill

A MISS is a shot out of the scoring zone (4.5″ Triangles). Touching the line is a HIT.

Drill Performance Standard

Drill standard is 5 hits. There is no time standard. Record time for reference.

Shooting the Drill

Focus on getting your muzzle position to return to the same position. Hands cause the muzzle to climb up instead of straight back In a piston motion. The triangle shape causes you to see a point as your shots climb to visually help you lower your shots back down. Shoot for accuracy first, then improve time.

Notes

Helps to develop recoil control.
