This was originally developed by a friend of ours, Todd Green, who passed away in 2016. It’s a deceptively simple 50 round drill encompasses many of the essentials fundamentals you should be practicing. It’s rare that I have seen someone shoot this clean on their first attempt.

Start at 3 yards. No time limit. If you shoot it clean you can move further back or see how fast you can complete the drill perfectly.
You really only need to have two magazines to do the drill but you will have to load them several times. Below are some guides for different magazine capacities that will help you if your are shooting with a time component added. If you are keeping track of time you can time each part of the drill and combine them together or run all 50 rounds in a single time.
