Ken calls his skill evaluation the “Wizard Drill.” The drill requires only five rounds, a shot timer, and an IDPA-style silhouette target. All stages begin with the firearm in a concealed holster. Each string of fire has a maximum time limit of 2.5 seconds. Stage 1) 3 yards, one head shot strong hand only Stage 2) 5 yards, one head shot using both hands on the gun Stage 3) 7 yards, one head shot using both hands on the gun Stage 4) 10 yards, two body shots using both hands on the gun. At the completion of the exercise, you should have three head shots and two body shots on your target. Each string of fire must have started with the gun in the holster and must be completed within the 2.5 second time limit. Any misses or shots after the time limit indicate a failure of the drill. How do you think you would do? I did this test last week with my carry guns a Glock 19. You will see how I did.
