TPC Hammer Time
FOCUS: Accuracy and Speed of controlled pair shots
Distance 4 yards
Target: 1-inch dots (Flinch Grinch)
Target Setup: The target consists of 5 one-inch dots. Each dot is encircled by a larger 1.5-inch ‘ghost ring.’
Drill Runs: There will be 5 separate runs in this drill, one for each dot.
Starting Position: Begin with your handgun already aimed at the target, with the trigger slack or pre-travel taken up. This means you’re ready to fire without needing to pull the trigger back too far.
Action: Upon hearing the acoustic signal from the timer, fire a controlled pair (two shots) at a single dot. The aim is to land both shots within the one-inch circle of the dot.
Repetition: Perform this action once for each of the 5 dots, moving sequentially from one dot to the next. You will complete a total of 5 repetitions, each on a different dot, to finish the row.
Objective: The goal of the Hammer Time Drill is to maintain accuracy and control, ensuring that both shots in each pair stay within the one-inch boundary of each dot.
