This drill uses the App's target and as the title suggest runs for five minutes.  It is designed to work on your sight index from the surrender position.  The App's targets require a more refined and precise technique since the concept of aim small miss small is taken to heart when you use one.  One of the things you will notice with this target is that as with a life size target the sights remain clear while the background goes all fuzzy.  However the circle target creates a nice bright area around the sight. This is the reason why this target is the easiest of them, the other offer no comfort zone.  The index needs to be precise.  Same thing applies to the demos that feature the App's Target.

This drill was created o practice the reload.  It is meant to be worked in a smooth manner.  Meaning we are not looking to do it fast.  Smooth and smooth gets you to speed.  I was pretty tired when I took this footages.  It was the last video of the day.  Remember, the intention of the demo of the demo is to demonstrate the app's ease of use with live targets.

This drill uses the App's target and as the title suggest runs for five minutes. It is designed to work on your sight index, create muscle memory, reinforce good trigger pull using the strong arm only. With a change of the name you can use the same settings for the weak hand. Yes you will be sloooooow on the draw but the muscle memory and with the continuos repetitions you will get faster.

This drill was created by Mr. Mark Burkett.  The tip of the mag is presented at the entrance of the magwell but not introduced.  Please visit his website  and explore what he has to offer.

This drill works on the reloads and it is set for 20 repetitions.  The object is to build muscle memory through smooth an solid repetitions.  As always these demos are created to show the many ways the app can be used to help in your training regimens.  Please contact me with if you have any questions and feel free to leave your comments.

This drill is a five minute draw exercise.  The intention is to build muscle memory through continuos repetition.  This one is about been smooth in your repetitions.  Oh and to showcase app's target.  Let me know what you think.

I still have lots of demos to edit and show you guys.  The only thing stopping me is time to edit them.  I'll see what I can do tomorrow.  I also want to show the apps ability to help law enforcement officers with their qualifiers. If you would like to help with that, please send me an email and we will set something up.

Hello everyone As you know tomorrow 3/2/2010 the famous case of Mcdonald vs Chicago will have its day at court, Supreme Court that is. Because of the app I've been fortunate to exchange a couple of emails with Mr James Shepherd who will not only be covering the case but will actually be in court. He will provide coverage immediately after the hearing. You can listen to him and Michael Bane on www.downrange.tv about an hour after the arguments ends. The arguments will end by 11:30am. Please visit the site and get it straight from someone who was there.
