Mozambique Drill

I always use my sights unless the target is within 1 or 2 meters except when I use optics, then I focus on the target. Once you train yourself, you can see the sights much faster than you think - literally! What happens is most people want to think about seeing the sight instead of just seeing it. Watch the double tap and Bill Drill videos and that will give you an idea of the process.

I'll do that. Thanks for the info.

You had said that the double tap drill was at 10 yds. Is this Mozambique drill also performed at 10 yards?

[Lurper]

The Mozambique and Bill Drills are at 7yards.

Thankyou for the clarification.

Is the 7 yards the drills are setup at, because of the Tueller drill? Why 7 yards as opposed to 8?

[Lurper]

I don't recall the reason, I suppose I could ask Bill. But they existed before Dennis Tueller wrote the article that led to what some have called the "Tueller Drill". Rob & Brian taught me the Bill Drill more than 20 years ago, so that is how I do it.

7 yards is the magic number in distance. Studies have shown that it takes a minimum distance of 21 feet to be able to recognize a threat and draw, and fire your weapon at a charging attacker before he reaches you.
These tests were done with a man with a fake knife and consistently the attacker could be striking blows with the knife before a true and straight draw and shoot could be performed at anything under 21 feet, or 7 yards.

Are there drills to be performed at point blank ranges?
