Accuracy at speed is a byproduct of good control. Inputting less into the gun when shooting rapidly is how you gain that control. A durable grip and repeatable mechanical skills are certainly keys to reducing excessive movement. However, elite shooters know that next-level accuracy at speed can only be attained by refined input control. Our drill this month trains you to do just that: incrementally apply input control while delivering well-placed rounds in rapid transition. The cost for each run is six rounds, but it’s well worth every trigger press when that light bulb finally clicks on. Here’s the DrillSet…

I stopped when I noticed two does feeding about 300 yards off, and whispered to my wife that I was going to practice aiming. Moments later, a few more deer showed up. As I watched them through the scope, a big buck appeared, and my heart raced full-throttle.The buck nosed through the does, and twice when he stood still, I started to squeeze the trigger.

I anxiously waited, wondering if he would return to…

Now KelTec is taking its 5.7 mm offerings in a radically new direction…
