Improve your effective defensive range with this simple drill. Adding stress to your shooting drills builds better performance.

Training for real-world scenarios requires more than just static target practice. I demonstrate a specific technique for your effective defensive range that forces you to manage pressure while maintaining accuracy. By incorporating stress training into your range sessions, you better prepare yourself for the realities of a dynamic encounter.

We are set up at seven yards for this exercise, which is a standard distance for most defensive engagements. This is one of the most practical shooting drills for shooters who want to move beyond basic marksmanship and focus on the physiological demands of a high-pressure situation. Consistent firearm training is what makes the difference when seconds count.

Subscribe for weekly training breakdowns, and let me know in the comments what kind of drills you use to add pressure to your range time.
