I like the comment of following the targets down..... But they were still standing! :)
The X-Drill was invented by Sir Flinders Petrie - also known as the inventor of bowling. He came-up with this concept right after he left himself his first 7-10 split.
OK, in all seriousness. I don't know who invented it, and while I'll tease here I take shooting (and instruction) VERY seriously.
As this is a drill you're mostly likely to practice outdoors, what sequence would you add for a third target? (Steve, Mike, other instructors? Your opinions?)
P.S. Mike, nice shooting. As Steve mentioned, you found the cadence you needed for well-placed shots.
I doubt any one person invented it. This is a pretty intuitive drill that I have done myself with targets at different distances before I ever saw anyone do it. It is a variation of the Mozambique with extra targets which simulates time constraints which might allow you quick initial head shots and then center mass shots on the second target, then refocusing on initial target to ensure the threat is resolved, and then making sure he second target is neutralized.
I noticed @ the 3:20 mark the shooter moved his spare mag to the first mag carrier slot why did he do that why not just leave it in the mag carrier it was already in?
I can't speak for him, but see it as one more step in making ready for faster access to that mag IF he had a moment in the heat of battle to shorten his next reload time. (It may prove as a psychological re-assurance/inventory that it's still there when you reach for it too.)
No reason just unnecessary movement.
Making it easier to access.
I'm looking forward to running this drill. Very helpful. My "drill" booklet now has 27 drills in it. lol
Jamie Sloan can you show me where to find more drills?
Im still learning new drills. What some good drills for recoil control besides the bill drill.
BsX drill. What is the logic behind starting with head shot and returning with a center mass shot? What is the logic behind the double taps? Is it taktix, is it training, is it just bad habit?
I love this drill
How many yards away are you
If I could actually get to see the targets at some point that would be very helpful. They're very out of focus and barely visible in the background. The concept is understood, but this video keeps talking about where he's shooting and I can't see that at all to totally understand. Also, @USCCA... can you advise why you are suggesting building in the muscle memory of "follow the threat down the ground" with the muzzle of your weapon and building in that supposed "training scar" when (as I see it) there are so many scenarios that this would NOT fit that it makes one have to consider why doing it vs. active and good scanning, breaking to low ready, etc.
FirearmsFreak, towards the end of the video you do see a close up of the targets. The point of this post is mostly about the movements. We teach to balance your speed and precision but knowing the drill is the first step before you run through it. Since we have followers from all different training backgrounds we focused on his movements. The X drill should not be the only drill you are practicing but just another tool in your toolbox. In our Defensive Shooting Fundamentals live-fire course we teach that once you are done engaging the threat, you bring your firearm back up to high compressed ready and scan before reholstering.
Tactical Taco Tuesday!
Good drill, good pistol control but why in the world would you follow a target to the ground if it don't move? Besides a person shot is not going down slow. Just curious.
To make sure threat stays down,for follow up shot if necessary.
This is the box drill, just done incorrectly.
Domenik Hmmm. Maybe it's a drill of its own?........
🙋🏻♂️ I came up with it 🕺🏻
Sweet dispersal of rounds.
You don't follow a target to the ground in a stationary position (standing still).. This drill (or all drills in general in my opinion) will be more effective when done more realistically which will include correctly following the target to the ground to prevent bad habits from forming, especially in problematic situations
was the x drill done by James yeager. he called it "get off the x" series if I remember correctly.
Blasphemy!!! The "X Drill" was invented by Chuck Norris.
The X drill originated with Master Ken before he became the leading proponent of Ameri-Do-Te.
That bald guy in the wheelchair that runs that school for gifted students.
I got the X drill from a book by Andy Sandford
The "X Drill" was invented by Chuck Norris.
Oscar Gouveia Think it was Clint Eastwood
Interesting
Why is he pinning the trigger? We can all hear it clear as day.
This guy hates adverbs.
2:16
real hero
Don't forget to scan behind you during your after-action. Real life is 360°.
whilst he is pissing about with this i have mag dumped him and gone home with his girl.......
Follow the target to the ground....the target didn't fall.
In reality follow the threat to the ground for follow up shot if needed
@@DiegoSanchez-vt9wq does the target always fall straight down in slow motion?

@@LeadPoison556 target does not but threats do,some slow other not so slow.
Welcome to look at Menocal International Training on you tube
the average defensive situation occurs within an arms length and takes on average 3 shots or less. this is just extra tactical crap that the average person doesn't need.
Seth Mahnken average defensive situation may take place at arms length, but that is an average of ALL defensive situations. According to a study done by Richard Fairburn, the average distance between combatants in a gunfight is 14 yards.

This, like most shooting drills is designed to do several things including developing accuracy, hand eye coordination with a firearm and muscle memory. The only good simulation of an actual gunfight is force-on-force and if you ever take a class where force-on-force is available you’ll understand why shooting drill like this are important
