In a drill, even if it involves doing some running, I like to incorporate that because that get the gun up from a low ready, or if you've been sprinting up to the target, getting it from however the hell you're holding it when you're sprinting and getting those first rounds off.

I think that's an important motor function to have.

And then doing movement and fire.

So like in this case, it wasn't a huge one, but doing just a walk and then the lateral walk across targets and putting four rounds on each.

That's something that you can't really practice at a static range, but it is something in going shooting with other groups of guys.

I've noticed a lot of people are really bad at is having, it's hard to get that cadence because you're trying to walk smoothly, but you can, it's really noticeable with the red dot.

You'll never stop that dot from bouncing just a little bit.

So you get to find that cadence where you can hit rounds and get them in there accurately and not just bounce them all over the place.

That's a really hard one to do just because of, I mean, I'm super guilty of it.

I caught myself doing it today.

I didn't really do any mag retentions.

I didn't really do any tack reloads today.

I did incorporate a reload into the drills, but it was on a dry mag.

So I was doing emergency reloads.

But, oh, yeah, stopping yourself from just doing the brain autopilot, throw mag on ground, put new mag in.

Oh, so I was doing roughly 20 rounds per, I say roughly because I'm trying, but I was loading one magazine with like two or three rounds more and the other with less, and I'm such a simple-minded idiot.

If I sit here and kind of juggle the mags between hands, pretty soon I forget which one was which.

So I knew that I know the gun's going to run dry probably somewhere on those two walking targets, but I don't know exactly what round.

So run it till click reload, finish the course, fire it, run forward, hit the other one.

There's some drills when I ran back to the truck and then hit the dirt and then put rounds on target at 70 yards again with being a little, I still need to get been better shape here, but you know, a little bit out of breath, a little bit of gas doing it, especially after running it for like 10 times.
