Drills Are Tactical Skill-Killers

June 19, 2017 by David Donchess 6 Comments

What Is A Drill?  Drills are a method of repeating something over and over until you can't screw it up. Courses of fire are timed scenarios that are designed to test our skills and diagnose what we need to work on.

Improve your shooting: Mastery Through Adaptability

June 24, 2016 by David Donchess 1 Comment

It seems that people don’t understand that the only thing they need for complete adaptability to any platform is a steady trigger pull without disturbing their sight picture. Now this isn’t including the fact that you will have a different manual of arms requirement to run certain platforms.
