Just finished Mozambique Drills

[DontBurnMyFlag]

Hey everyone

I went to the range and rented a Glock 23, .40 cal for those who dont know. I decided to practice Mozambique drills from 7 yards. I started off slow from the weaver stance and using my dominant eye. By the end of the session I was hitting perfect Mozambique shots with both eyes open in about 1 second.

I was pretty pleased with myself, especially since it was my first time on that particular weapon. Ive shot Glocks before, but never the smaller 23 model.

So is there any other type of drill that deals with reactive shooting? I wish I had access to the rotating "threat or no-threat" targets, but I sadly do not.

Any suggestions?

I always like the traditional El Presidente. I like that it forces me into a reload.

Could you elaborate? Sounds interesting

Here's the USPSA version (since I had it uploaded)

Take a clean target and make 3 or so rows of different shapes and numbers (add different colors to make it more challenging). Have a buddy call the target while you are in a low ready/holstered (depending on range restrictions), than engage the target using the firing technique of your choice.

Time yourself. Determine the average time it takes you to aquire and engage the target while still maintaining accuracy, than work to beat that time.

After you work at engaging single targets at various ranges, work on engaging 2 targets or more.

Example target layout......

[ 3"square ] [ 3"circle ] [3" triangle] [3" octagon ]

7 4 9 2

[ 3"circle ] [3" octagon ] [ 3"square ] [3" triangle]


3 5 8 1


Example fire command: shooter ready, FOUR (BANGBANG!!)
shooter ready, TOP SQUARE (BANGBANG!!)


You get the idea....

that sounds like an amazing idea. im getting some hostage targets and some advanced q targets with different sections to aim at. more fun at the range!

Just curious, was that from low ready, first shot to last, from the holster?

I think El Presidente is more meaningful when the targets are not evenly spaced apart, and at different ranges from each other.
