This is a great drill, for both the beginner and the advanced.  You’ll need a shot timer, and a range that has at least 15 feet of usable lane on it.  You use a target that has a 5″ (or smaller, if you want to make it tougher) circle on it, run it out to 5 yards, then fire 5 shots, in five seconds or less, from the draw (or from the ready, depending on the experience level of your students OR if you are using a long gun).  In preparation for my thesis presentation at the upcoming PAUL-E-PALOOZA II Memorial Training Conference, I expanded this drill slightly, to make it, “5 yards, 5 rounds, 5 targets!”  This helps get the speed of multiple target transitions smoother, as well.  A fun drill, brought to my attention by Kathy Jackson and Claude Werner, and originally conceived by Gila Hayes.
