“I’ve been shooting guns for about 5 years now and competing for 4 of those years. Growing up in the Philippines guns were never really a thing I was involved in due to the fact is very hard to own one there from the monetary stand point. I am a first generation gun guy in my family. I picked up my first gun a month before covid hit and I’ve been involved in it ever since.”
Hey all! 6-1 here again, bringing some content regarding the illustrious act of reloading in a competition context. With this topic, I’m keeping it specific to non-retention reloads. I will not be covering retention reloads, where one stores the ejected magazine on their person as required by certain shooting leagues.
I wanted to create this follow-up to address the issues with Sig Sauer’s P320 platform I am seeing from both sides of the existing argument, as well as to clear some of the smoke on what answers I am seeking. This is not meant to hammer down on broader accusations.
This is essentially a double split-Bill drill, but with an emphasis on working some other skills into it. This variant comes from our very own Evo! Setting Up The Drill: Place your two USPSA torso targets downrange, shoulder to shoulder. Shooter then moves back to the 7 yard line to perform the drill.
The Double Failure to Stop Drill with a reload as written is made to push the shooter to get out of their comfort zone, and break past a cadence of bang-bang-pause-bang. Much like my rifle version of this drill, the primary time gain here is to reflexively make the micro-motion to acquire the head shot, and have all three shots per target have the same split time.
