"I designed or selected these challenges to help the armed citizen improve the critical skills of armed defense. You should be competent in the following areas:
  • Drawing from concealment with varied hand positions and executing the fundamentals of shooting
  • Accurate first hits in a suitable time
  • Being able to manage the stress of performing under pressure
I hope these drills will form a basis of practice and a metric to measure your improvement. Good skill"!
