Teaches:
draw, grip, rapid-fire, recoil control, "adequate" rather than "perfect" sight picture.

Requires:
IPSC Target or Target Paper with 3 x 5 Index Card "A Zone"

Drill:
With one IPSC target 7 yards away, start from surrender position, draw, and fire 6 shots into the A zone. If any shots miss the A zone, the time does not count, so the emphasis is on accuracy before speed.

Brian Enos puts master-level time for this drill as 2.0 seconds.

Variations:
For a beginner, bring the target as close as 8 feet, or start from low ready instead of holstered. Shoot as fast as you can while keeping the shots in the A zone and keeping a feeling of control over the gun. The point is to get used to the feeling of controlled rapid fire, learning to watch the sight, and familiarizing yourself with rapidfire recoil characteristics. When drawing from the holster, it helps guarantee that you acquire a good shooting grip; otherwise the gun will start to feel out of control. If you are missing the A-zone, you're making mistakes. SLOW DOWN and do it right.

This drill can be a real ammo burner.
