This is a drill I came up with recently to work on several moving parts and gunfighting tasks all rolled into one, 15 shot drill. It encompasses accuracy with primary pistol from 25 yards, shooting on the move, reloading, both support and strong hand shooting and back up deployment. I knock out 10-15 push ups to start. If you want to task load more, throw in a couple snap caps.

Be very careful when and how you choose to be a hero. This guy had the heart of a lion, but sadly it ended badly for him, and for his family. Understanding when to get involved sometimes takes training, especially for natural sheepdog types who cannot stand to see people victimized. They need training to overcome or channel that instinct, or deploy it properly. There IS a way.

A father of two young boys has been shot and killed when he acted as a Good Samaritan and tried to save a woman who had a gun pulled on her in a mall parking lot.

A great challenge is coming. A test unlike any other you've faced as a man. Only ten will be chosen to be tested by fire and led through their own personal crucible, coming out the other side better, stronger, more disciplined and focused men, for their health, for their business, for their family, for their community. Keep your eyes on the horizon. It's coming.
