Hardwire Tactical “Super Test” Shooting Drill

Written by: Greg Ellifritz

 

 

 

Hardwire Tactical recently posted a new shooting drill on their Facebook page.  It is a drill that is indoor range friendly (no drawing from a holster), quick to shoot and easy to remember.  It should serve as a great option for those of you looking to track baseline performance.  They call this one “The Super Test.”

 

Here’s the drill:

This is a 30-round drill.  All stages start from a low ready position.


15 yards, 10 rounds in 15 seconds
10 yards, 10 rounds in 10 seconds
5 yards, 10 rounds in 5 seconds


This is scored by the numbers on a B8 Bullseye target.  Goal is 270 or better.

 

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I start all of my training sessions cold with a timed and scored drill.  I use the same drill for several months at a time so I can track my performance, looking for steady and noticeable changes in time or score.  For a long while I used The Humbler as my starting drill.  For the last several weeks, I’ve switched to this one.  I like it a lot.

 

It’s simple, fast to shoot, and easy to score.  It’s also unforgiving of poor trigger control.  That’s what I’m looking for.

 

Darryl and Wayne want their students to score 270 out of a possible 300 points.  I think that’s a challenging, but reasonable standard.

 

I have been shooting it two times at the start of every training session.  The first time, I try to shoot it as accurately as possible given the time limits.  I usually score somewhere around 290.  The highest score I’ve gotten on this one is 294.

 

After shooting for accuracy, I shoot the drill again.  This time I shoot it as fast as possible, still keeping all my rounds on target.  I usually shoot the first stage in about 10 seconds, the second stage at about eight seconds, and the final stage around four seconds.  When I shoot this fast, my score usually dips to somewhere around 275-280.

 

Give this one a try.  I think you’ll enjoy it.  And if they are teaching a class nearby, try to enroll in a class from Hardwired Tactical.
