We always see benefits student body wide in going over attack-control, specially with LE. While there are a lot of benefits to this drill, the biggest takeaway we typically see is the light bulb going off for folks that not every shot needs a still, stopped, stable dot. While that seems like common sense for some of us, shooting is still largely taught with a “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” mindset which hinders a lot of shooters early on in their journey.

On the LE side of things, it is rare for academies & PDs to teach shooting at speed. Which means most officers only know to shoot when they have a completely stopped dot followed by even more over confirmation on the second shot. By implementing attack-control, it is a good building block to get people to shoot at speed and to shoot what your vision tells you, which is much easier said than done.

Just like most drills though, we do believe you should be progressing enough in your journey where the training wheels should be taken off and you need to start stacking more on your plate to be a better shooter. Attack-control is NOT the end all be all to target transitions, understanding sight confirmation, shot calling, trigger break exits, shooting at speed, etc. Eventually you learn to carve your range days to your weaknesses and not to just a few standardized drills.
