Wilson's Comprehensive Handgun Proficiency Drill

I saw this new drill from Bill Wilson online the other day, so I set it up and shot it. He calls it the “Comprehensive Handgun Proficiency” drill, which aligns with our interest in minimum competency and standards generally. It includes a concealment draw, emergency reload, engaging targets at 7 and 12 yards with 12 yard head shots (simulating 24 yard body shots), stationary target transitions within a single target and across a wide space, shooting on the move, and thinking (surprise reload). It’s an easy drill to set up if you have an outdoor range and space to move. Not a drill well suited to single lane practice at an indoor range. CHP DRILL (Comprehensive Handgun Proficiency) Purpose: This drill is designed to test as many basic defensive shooting skills as possible with a quick to administer single string of fire and minimal ammunition required, that can be shot on basic ranges, even indoors. What This Drill Tests: Draw/presentation, multiple shot control, target transition, movement under time, shooting on the move, target acquisition after movement, emergency re-load and precision shots. Designer: Bill Wilson Equipment/Ammunition Required: Self-defense handgun of 9mm caliber or larger, a proper concealed carry holster, one spare magazine, magazine pouch and 14 rounds of ammunition. Targets/Scoring: 3 standard IDPA targets scored raw time +1 second per point down. Targets are scored +0, +1, +3 for body shots, head -0, -1, complete miss +3 seconds. Start Position: Standing holstered hands naturally at your sides at P1. Can be shot concealed or unconcealed at the shooters discretion. NOTE: Start with between 8 and 13 rounds in your handgun and for best training have a buddy load your magazine so you won’t know when the emergency reload will come. Procedure: Start at position 1, on signal draw and engage T1 with 3 rounds, transition to T2 and engage with 3 rounds, move to P2 while engaging T3 with 2 rounds on the move, from P2 re-engage T2 with 2 rounds to the body and 1 round to the head, transition to T1 and engage with 2 rounds to the body and 1 round to the head. Do a mandatory emergency slide-lock re-load when you run out of ammunition. ADVANCED: 18 Sec or less, PROFICIENT: 18.01-29.00 Sec, NOVICE: 29.01 Sec or more
