Developmental Drill: RE Factor Series 1

silhouette-targets-pdf-targetsilhouetteThis month’s 1 of 3 Developmental Drills comes from the good folks over at RE Factor. Back in 2016 they posted several drills that aid in target acquisition, weapon manipulation and transition, sight picture, and speed. While today RE Factor has developed a number of training aids (targets, training deck, etc.) these individual developmental drills still push a shooter outside of their standard comfort zone to expose training weaknesses. In the case of all drills, a standard IDPA/USPSA silhouette target will suffice.
