In this drill, John McPhee breaks down the Stitch 'Em Up Drill, a close-range exercise designed to build the ability to deliver rapid, precise shots against a threat who can shoot just as well as you can. The focus is on efficiency, shot placement, and ending the fight as quickly as possible.
Using a full-size target and a vertical piece of tape representing the spine, John explains how the drill develops the ability to move quickly through critical target zones while maintaining accountability for every round. The goal is simple: keep every shot inside the tape while beating the performance standards for both pistol and carbine.
This is a test of speed, accuracy, and discipline under pressure. If your fundamentals are solid, this drill will expose exactly how fast you can apply them when it counts.
