The Blake Drill is a speed and transition focused drill. If you’ve been shooting Drill of the Month with us for a while now you’ve seen a variety of speed and accuracy focused drills. Now lets focus on getting from target to target. Realistically you should be shooting for the same par time you’ve set for yourself on a Bill Drill. If 2.5 is your best run for that exercise, shoot for 2.5 here. At the end of the day I would love to see as many people break that sub 2 second par time as possible!
The Accelerator is one of the best “truth serum” drills for competitive shooting because it forces you to change gears on demand. The 7-yard target tempts you to blaze, the 20-yard target punishes impatience, and the 15-yard target lives right in that uncomfortable middle where people throw points away.
The goal isn’t just raw speed—it’s learning how to throttle control: drive hard up close, add confirmation as distance increases, then do it all again after a reload when your brain wants to rush.
If you want a clean run, think: snap to the close target, settle for the far target, and don’t let the reload steal your pace. Clean first… then fast.
