WAR HOGG TACTICALl- 'V' DRILL
The War HOGG V Drill is a tactical shooting drill that can be done with a red dot pistol or carbine. The intent of this drill is to break the classic flat range mentality and add some movement to your range session.
Set Up for the War HOGG “V” Drill
I use a “C” zone steel target. From there, pace off 10 meters for my first cone, walk out at a 45-degree angle for 5 meters to the left and right to place the flank, and place my cones at 15 meters. My closest cone is at 10 meters because I’m using a steel target. The beauty is that you can use whatever target and distance you want, depending on your firing range.
How to Run The War Hogg “v” Drill
Start on either 15-meter flank cone. On the shot timer beep:
-
Draw and get one solid hit on target.
-
Move to the 10-meter center cone, one hit.
-
Move to the rear flank cone, two hits.
-
Return to the center cone, one hit.
-
Finish at your start cone, one hit.
Clean run = 6 rounds.
Focus Skills
This month’s skill builder is going to focus on moving from cone to cone, shooting a pistol, and building on the following skills.
-
Pistol Presentation
-
Draw from the Holster
-
Calling Your Shot
-
Foot movement
A couple of key things to remember when shooting this drill. Don’t wait for the audible “ding” of the steel; see your sights lift off the target, call your shot, and rapidly move to the next cone. You don’t have to look at the cone, but pick it up in your periphery.
Once you are about three steps away, take a deep breath and plant the rear foot, simultaneously bringing the support foot forward as you are presenting your pistol to the target. Once you see your sights lift off the target with a good hit, pivot and start moving to the rear target. I am training for the real world, so I bring my pistol to a sul or low ready position, because my range allows that.
The pivot is something you are going to have to test, which way works best for you. Figure out what’s fastest and most stable for you. I often use my support-side foot to start my movement and pivot on the ball of my strong side foot.
Example: moving to the rear left cone, bring the pistol to ready as that support foot hits and turns you. Keep the good muzzle discipline; economy of motion wins.
WAR HOGG TACTICAL SELF EVAL
The War HOGG self eval is a red dot pistol or carbine shooting drill, that gives you the shooter some very important information so you can start focusing on those areas in your marksmanship training program.
The War HOGG Self Eval is a simple, efficient, and brutally honest shooting drill designed to tell you exactly where your marksmanship and gun-handling skills really are. Built for red dot pistol and carbine training, this self-evaluation drill lets law enforcement officers, military personnel, and responsibly armed citizens gather 12 critical pieces of performance data in a single run so they can build a focused live fire and dry fire training plan.
Instead of guessing where you need work, the War HOGG Self Eval shooting drill uses two different sized targets, a shot timer, and structured shot sequence to expose strengths and weaknesses in your presentation, recoil management, target transitions, split times, and speed reloads. Each shot is tied to a specific task—first shot from ready or the draw, follow-up shots on the same target, transitions to a second target, and your magazine change under time—so you can break down your performance shot by shot instead of just chasing a random overall time. That detailed data is perfect to record in The Firearms Training Notebook, giving you a repeatable baseline to measure improvement and stay 1% Better Every Day.
The War HOGG Self Eval drill is easy to set up on almost any range, requires minimal rounds, and works with both duty pistols, concealed carry pistols, and patrol carbines. Run it cold at the beginning of a training session to get a true performance-on-demand snapshot, then use that information to drive your dry fire and live fire programming. Whether you’re building a law enforcement firearms training program, tuning your red dot pistol skills, or just want an honest metric for your own carry gun, the Self Eval gives you a clear standard you can repeat, track, and improve over time.
THE WAR HOGG TACTICAL 1-1-1 PISTOL SHOOTING DRILL
Shooting under physical duress or stress shoot is an absolute necessity in your red dot pistol and firearms training program. The 1-1-1 drill incorporates the Brute Force Sandbag as the tool to help add physical stress to the shooting drill.
The Nightstand Drill
The ability to quickly retrieve your pistol off your nightstand or lock box is a skill that must be practiced on the firing range.
Shifting Gears Pistol Shooting Drill
The ability to index from target to target is a task that should be incorporated into your red dot pistol marksmanship training program. When engaging multiple targets you should also incorporate different size targets.
Eye Exercise
Training your eyes is an import skill for any shooter. The ability to change your focal point from target to sights is a skill that can be improved by training your eyes during your dry fire training program.
Dry Fire Pistol Training
Dry Fire training is an incredible way to increase your marksmanship skills with a pistol or carbine. The key to your dry fire program is you have to have a plan or schedule.
