We had someone reach out wanting some 1911 drills that they could shoot at indoor ranges. So first up, let’s revisit the Holes-in Holes drill. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of it, just know you are not shooting groups.
The goal is to put 4 followup shots into the same hole the first bullet fired made. For a total of 5.
Expectations, most users will start this at 1 yard. Yes, 3 feet. Once you can master a 5-in-1 hole consistently, back up to 4 feet.
Rinse and repeat until you hit that wall and it all falls apart. Then get busy practicing at that range over and over and over.
Sincerely,
Marky
