Drill Explained

Movement: Can you move safely with a loaded firearm?  This shows the instructors where they need to work on your basic firearms handling.  This also simulates physical stress to the student.
Box 1: This test your target acquisition in rapid succession, while stationary and after moving.  This will also determine if you are able to return to your natural point of aim.
Box 2: After simulated physical stress this will show how well you are able to transition from major muscle groups to fine motor skills.
