Colt's Mark Redl takes us through this target's BFM drill inspired by Ken Hackathorn. This three-in-one drill starts with the “bill drill,” which requires six rounds to center mass. Second is the “fast drill” which is two rounds to the head and four to the body. The “Mozambique Drill” is final part of the BFM drill that requires one round to the head and two to the body. Load your gun with eight rounds total — one in the chamber, seven in the mag, and have a spare mag on you. Think you've got what it takes to beat Mark's time of 6.59 seconds and a perfect score? Take a photo of your RECOIL target through Instagram and hashtag it “#recoiltarget” for a chance to be submitted in the gallery. This target was designed using the harder-scoring areas of both the IDPA target and the USPSA target, combining them both into a more difficult, productive training target. The BFM Drill is designed to combine the benefits of three standard training drills that you may be familiar with, to offer a well-rounded cross-training exercise. This drill combines all of the techniques you need to practice to excel at both competitive and defensive shooting.
