    I focus on a few drills pretty exclusively:
    Bill Drill
    No Fail Pistol Drill
    Defoor Hat Drill
    FAST Drill

    Everything I do is timed, and from the holster. I will vary distance, movement, round count, starting position, etc, but not those are my staples. If I bring 200 rds to the range, I can work those and walk away a better shooter with a lot of quantifiable data to enter into my journal.

    While I am a uniformed police officer, almost all of my personal firearms training is done from concealed with pistols in likely to carry off duty. Getting good with smaller carry guns and smaller dots translates really well to duty sized guns and dots.

    I was looking at the classic Bill Drill as maybe our next drill to work on, but I am open to great suggestions to get better. We just need something to keep the interest level up. Any suggestions welcomed.

    I like running the half & half drill.

    10 yards-10 rounds-10 seconds all A zone on IPSC
    5 yards-10 rounds-5 second all A zone on IPSC
    2.5 yards-10 rounds-2.5 seconds all A zone on IPSC

    Low ready is normal starting position.

    I’ve recently transitioned into drawing from concealment. I can clear the 10 and 5 yards but that 2.5 is impossible for me to get. My fastest and most repeatable time from concealment to first shot is .98. Low ready and I can clear all of them.

    I do many drills and rotate as I see fit. We have a decent range that I go to and there is steel outside to mess with. Depending on whether you have an RDS mounted, specific drills I like are tailored to that. No particular order but here is a list that is in the rotation.

    When I'm with my buddies we always do the FAST drill and the BAER drill, its called the"BAER" TARGET, https://baersolutionsllc.com/freetargets

    Honestly. A couple competitions would probably take you much further than any static drill.

    *only disclaimer is I dont know your experience*

    I like the CSAT drill/test if you have a shot timer.

    Dot Torture always good. FAST is good if you have a lot of mags and can load your mags to do it over and over a few times before stopping to reload.

    VTAC Chaos Drill and Triple threat are pretty fun. I think they’re VTAC drills.

    10-8 Pistol Test is a great one too.
