Overview

The 9 of Diamonds Pistol Drill Card is from our Dead Man’s Hand Shooting Deck and is intended to be used in conjunction with our IQ Pistol targets. This pistol drill focuses on several different aspects of shooting to include; draw speed, shot placement, target transitions, and the identification of multiple targets.  Any pistol drill in the Dead Man’s Hand Shooting Deck can be made increasingly difficult by having a partner call the drill out with the shooter immediately executing the drill with minimal delay.
