Its the anniversary of the Black Hawk Down incident and Operation Gothic Serpent.
The man behind this very drill, Kyle Lamb, was a Delta Operative involved in the operation.
The VTAC 1-5 drill is a fun and straightforward, but also very effective rifle drill.
The exercise breaks up the old double-tap mentality many people can fall into.
I agree that two shots are better than one, but is it always enough?
Youll need a rifle, one magazine, 15 rounds and three targets.
Im using the SAINT Victor carbine and a few old FBI Q targets.
The VTAC 1-5 Drill is simple.
Set the targets up in a line, a yard apart or so.
Mine are a little closer because of range limitations.
I use a Pocket Pro 2 as a shot timer.
You dont necessarily need a shot timer, but you cant track your time without one.
I like to track mine and see how I improve.
If using a timer, aim to have the drill done in under five seconds.
Starting from the low ready, wait for the beep or without a timer, go when ready.
The drills name is self-explanatory once you shoot it.
You go from shooting one to shooting five rounds.
Doing it under a time constraint requires you to control the gun and work the trigger rapidly.
This stresses control over the muzzle as you let rounds fly.
The gun barely moves as is, so I get a little advantage with it for sure.
Even so, I still feel the VTAC 1-5 Drill provides plenty of challenge.
Its also the most effective way to do whats essentially a mag dump while still getting valuable training in.
Its also relatively easy to do by yourself, requires little ammo and no fancy equipment.
