Dang! Nice.
With the latest church shooting in Texas. Bad guy pulls and points a shotgun at Guy #1. Guy #1 is armed and draws from concealment from what looks like small of the back. He has less then 3 secs and is shot while presenting his gun. He drops immediately. Guy #2 (unarmed) is shot next. Guy #3 draws and drops bad guy with head shot from about 50' within 6 secs from bad guy bring shotgun up.
Now get out there and practice, practice and practice the wizard!!!! Prayers to the men who fell and their families. Evil walks among us.

2.5 seconds is under 3. At times its 1.5 secs from start to draw and place bullet on target. Means nothing however if you're not vigilant and observant.Really?? The Great Wizard wouldn't have saved you in that situation....
While it's easy to be the Monday morning quarterback, I'm going to refer to the man that was shot while drawing his gun. If he was on the security detail, why was he sitting down? Was he not healthy enough to stand? Was he complacent?
It is very sad that good people lost their lives by just doing routine, everyday things. We may not say it out loud but many think "that would never happen here." It always happens somewhere else, not here. Well, it did happen in a small town that no one had heard of in Texas. Before yesterday, I'm sure that many of them thought "that would never happen here." Yesterday, their lives changed forever.
Give up @Combat Diver, the rest of us have. This blow hard is a lost cause. I like you have been thinking about this all day.2.5 seconds is under 3. At times its 1.5 secs from start to draw and place bullet on target. Means nothing however if you're not vigilant and observant.

It IS only a test. It's practice to put rounds on target from concealment. Once you DO it then try it moving or standing on your head. OR don't try it, sit on here and pound keys and blow off about how useless it is. What is the alternative Not train?? When some Trainer-Tactician comes up with a way to do training for REAL please let us know!You're right - The Wizard is a test only. If you train with the Wizard drill you'll face your target, pause, draw and fire without moving.
Check out our target...on here some where. We have Both the 8 inch circle and the Rectangle to stop the 'I'm used to the other" folks.@BatteryOaksBilly can you tell me what size the a zone target is exactly ? I read a couple different things but went with approximately 6x11 marked with mud today.
Recorded today being I was setting up to record another drill so I figured I’d post it. I passed today, but accidentally shot a few rounds of my carry ammo by mistake then got mixed up on where I left off.
Seems it’s a little easier with the 8 inch “a zone” outlined instead of just trying to hit the center of the target.
Sorry for the little bit of language may not be safe for work.

If you miss a shot, you're done! LOL. Because: what did you hit when you missed the bad guy?Hackathorn also says in the Wizard Drill vid that you can have 2 points down and pass, that is shots out of the head circle but on the cardboard or one zone out of the body. Is that how it's shot for your test @BatteryOaksBilly ? Looks like the steel is all shots in or you fail.
It'll drive you totally batty! lol.Nice, I'm just seeing this thread. I'll have to give this one a shot this week.
This is actually one of the few drills I'd not shot before. Looking forward to it.

Wow, you guys are getting fast. I'm still in the "over 3 seconds" category.....dang!I shot it today. I missed the first shot--it was in the head box, but a little outside the circle. I missed the time on the third shot because I got the gun caught in my shirt on the draw. I think it was about 2.65, but I didn't write it down. Then I missed the fourth time. 2.58 on that one. Close.
