I've been collecting handgun range drills from multiple sources, including here on THR, Rangemaster newsletters, ASP Channel on YouTube, et cetera. I try to pick one or two to run prior to each visit to the range. This got me thinking about the different reasons for drills and designating drills based on what my purpose is on a given session. The categories identified start with whether I want to work on precision marksmanship (high accuracy and tight group), or tactical combat self defense (speed and "good enough" group. Next, within each of those two, I can think of the following drill purposes:
Training or practice
Skill check
Fun.
Self Defense skill checks might include FBI Qualification.
Other drills I consider: dot torture, Gila Hayes 5x5, The Test (Ken Hackathorn), Rangemaster Bullseye (Jan 2022 RM Newsletter).
Precision accuracy: Aim small/miss small: 3 rounds, 3 yds, 3 secs.
Fun: Casino drill.
How about listing your favorite drills, and what category and purpose you would say each fits.
