POINT SHOOTING

DRILL Bad Guy Cover
non-gun hand away from the line
of fire. Don’t cross your feet as
you move. Come to full extension
if you have to engage the second
or subsequent targets. I say “if
you have to” because you should
always assess before firing. Don’t
train yourself to fire when you
don’t need to fire.
Continually rearrange the targets
during this training drill to force
yourself to move in different directions
and different distances in
order to engage Target 2. By varying
the location of the targets and
your starting point, this drill forces
you to think ahead and choose
the best possible angle for cover
and concealment during the
engagement. Never run this drill
exactly the same twice in a row.
Mix it up because you can never
predict how things will happen on
the street.
KEY CONCEPTS
This drill requires you to effectively
connect several elements of
defensive shooting, including the
draw, firing safely from a weapon-retention
position, movement
and combat accuracy. It also requires
situational awareness and
the ability to rapidly develop and
execute a plan of action.
Master the four-step draw. Ensure
your off-hand is clear of the
line of fire as you engage the first
target. Never cross your feet as
you move. Index your firearm on
the center of the second target
before you fire. Repeat this until it
becomes second nature.
BY THE NUMBERS
Step 1: Arrange two targets
in an offset position.
Step 2: Using all safety
practices, prepare your
training area.
Step 3: At a distance of less
than 3 yards, engage the
closest target to you. Draw
and fire from Position 3 of
the draw. Do not come to full
extension at this distance.
Index the firearm on center
mass and fire twice.
Step 4: Take a large step
to one side or the other,
keeping Target 1 between
Target 2 and you. Come to
full extension, assess and
fire if required.
