💖 Harlow Elizabeth Habib 💖 Just a few days of having her and I already feel like we are living in a new world with a totally new perspective on life. I have so much new found respect for all the mamas and parents out there after that.

What a profound and incredible experience bringing life into this world with you @crossfireperformance @tino_el_nino

The Blake Drill

1.52 on one target. 1.41 on three.

Mike runs a Bill Drill first to set his pace, then tries to make the Blake Drill sound exactly like it.

The standard:
• Rifle, starting at low ready
• Bill Drill first: one target, 6 rounds
• Blake Drill: three targets 1 yard apart, 2 rounds on each
• 10 yards

A clean rep:
1. Low ready, eyes on a specific spot on the first target.
2. On the beep, two rounds on that spot.
3. Eyes go to a spot on the next target first.
4. Two rounds as soon as the dot gets to where you’re looking.
5. Same on the third target.
6. Keep your eyes on each target until you’re done shooting.

Transitions are the low-hanging fruit on this one. Mike’s goal is for the time between targets to match the time between his shots, so the whole string sounds like a Bill Drill. His Bill Drill was a 1.52 and his second Blake Drill was a 1.41 with all A’s from 10 yards, right at the top 7-yard standard and about the same pace.

Precise vision is key to this drill. Pick a small, specific spot on each target and let your eyes lead the rifle from one spot to the next. Stay visually focused on that spot until both shots are complete, then shift your eyes to the next target and allow the sights to follow. The goal is efficient, controlled transitions with no wasted movement or unnecessary delay between shots.

Run a Bill Drill, then a Blake Drill, and post both times.

Recoil hides what your hands do to the gun as the shot breaks.

The 50/50 Drill

One target at 15 yards with a pistol. One round in the chamber, magazine out. Draw and fire, then press the trigger a second time as quickly as possible as soon as your dot is back on target.

That second press is a click. With no recoil, you can see two things: whether the dot came back to where the first shot broke, and whether your firing hand tension is increasing.

Dot dips low and left on the click for a right-handed shooter: you are pushing into the gun in anticipation of recoil.

The fix is keeping your firing hand tension consistent and remaining target focused the entire time.

No times on this one. It’s an observation drill. Target focused and dot aware.

Save this for your next range day.

A class isn’t the culminating event. It’s one step in your progression. This is who we are.

Criterion One is a shooting performance company. We don’t just build classes. We build processes. You train the standards before you show up. The class is designed to refine you as a shooter and test those standards on demand. You leave with a program to keep going.

Built for serious defensive shooters, law enforcement, military and competitors.

Our mission:
Criterion One develops complete performers through criteria-based training in shooting, physical readiness and mental execution. Our standard aligns clear outcomes, repeatable processes and demonstrated performance to guide continuous improvement.

In practice: every drill resolves to a number you either hit or you don’t.

Our method:
Define. Establish the outcome and what successful performance requires.
Build. Develop the component skills and organize them into a repeatable system.
Train. Practice with intent and use feedback.
Prove. Evaluate performance against defined criteria.
Refine. Find the gap, adjust, and prove it again.

Use the same loop anywhere you perform: dry fire, live fire, a workout, a match or a live operation.

Our team is made up of professionals in shooting, physical performance and mental performance.

Start with a free trial of the Standards app. It builds your training plan and scores every session against a standard. Classes are coming in 2027.

Trust the process. Prove the performance.

Your misses are teaching you more than your hits.

@hubermanlab put it plainly on @joeroganexperience: you don’t learn from passive reps. The friction of going for it and sometimes missing is what tells the brain to change. The frustration you feel when a drill won’t come together is the first gate of learning opening. Stay in it a little longer.

Then sleep. That’s when the circuits actually change. Come back a few days later and you’re closer.

If every rep is clean, you’re not asking enough of yourself.

Save this for your next session.

There is something so special about becoming the version of yourself you haven’t met yet.

Pregnancy has brought a lot of change, some I embraced and some I definitely fought. But as I enter my ninth month, I’m learning to soften, let go of a little control and appreciate this body for everything it has done to bring our baby girl closer to us. 🤍

Just a few more weeks until we meet her. As @crossfireperformance says, no more competition ls until game day!

Thank you Steph and Ale for making me feel beautiful and capturing this chapter so perfectly. @steph.glams @photography_by_ale

It’s not THE press but it’s a great one… ultimately I didn’t choose a Dillon press because of cost, popularity or convenience even though Dillon excelled in those aspects.

It was simply because Every. Single. Time. I called, a real person answered and walked my dumbass through this. With so much more to learn, I couldn’t pass up that kind of help. I have some other stuff coming I can show later.
