what kinds of drills have you shot, or shoot, that are handgun specific? What kinds of drills do you run on a regular basis?

Did a very demanding one with Paul Castle that just when we were getting the hang of it, he'd change some part of it and someone would mess it up again. There was a method to the madness.

It goes like this:

4 Shooters, 5 Targets, 1/3/5 yard line.
Shooter 3 has 2 targets to manage. Shooter 4 must yell CLEAR when he has finished his series, Shooter 1 then starts the next series.
First series is everyone shoots Body. (1 shot)
2nd Series is Body Head (2Shots)
3rd Series is Body Body Head (3Shots)
4th Series is Body Body Head Head (4shots)
5th Series is Body Body Head Head Body or Head (5shots.)
Supposed to be done in 45 Seconds....yeah, right. Anyone shoots out of turn or wrong # of shots, drill over, do it again.

Just when we got close to it, he changed it to support side. #4 shooter runs to become #1. Stuff like that. #3 shooter has to really figure out when to reload, as if he screws it up there will be no way to make time.

Its really a fun drill, gets you to focus on things around you so that people work together.
