F.A.S.T. drill

[HoggerNaut]

Have been seing a lot of fast drill vids etc lateley so having received my timer last week I wanted to give it a go myself this morning.

What time is considered as good, avarage, fast or superfast etc?

Did 15 FAST drills.

Avarage: 6.24
Slowest : 7.94
Fastest : 5. 41

IIRC any time under 7 seconds is considered good.

Bob Vogel does a 3.34...scary to think he does 2 while the avg guy does 1!

True that!

But now you almost have a g34 and apparently that will get you to 3.33

Please talk a newbie through the F.A.S.T. drill. I've seen a Youtube video or two.

What are the steps and what are the benefits of practicing this drill?

F.A.S.T. (Fundamentals, Accuracy, & Speed Test)

designed by Todd Green
Range: 7 yards
Target: 3×5 card (head), 8″ plate (body)
Start position: weapon concealed or in duty condition with all holster retention devices active; shooter facing downrange in relaxed stance with arms down at sides
Rounds fired: 6
Shooter loads gun with a total of two rounds. On start signal, shooter draws and fires two rounds at the head target; performs a slidelock reload; and fires four rounds at the body target.


Ranking:

• 10+ seconds: Novice
• less than 10 seconds: Intermediate
• less than 7 seconds: Advanced
• less than 5 seconds: Expert

If shooter is using a retention holster and flap (covered) magazine pouches, subtract 0.5 seconds from the recorded time. If shooter is using an open-top retention holster (e.g., Blackhawk SERPA or Safariland ALS) with no concealment, add 0.50 seconds to the recorded time.
