In this lesson, the instructor presents the next drill for developing a shooter’s rate of fire — the “Series of Five”. This high-tempo drill trains the ability to fire controlled, continuous shot strings while maintaining an accurate mental count of each round fired. You will learn why, in real combat, it is crucial to always know how many rounds remain in your magazine and how this awareness affects tactical decision-making. Although counting to five seems trivial, during rapid shooting it becomes surprisingly difficult — even for experienced shooters. This is exactly why the skill must be trained deliberately.
