Mozambique Shooting Drill/Failure To Stop

The Mozambique drill, also called the failure to stop drill, or originates from a fighter in the Mozambican war. A soldier turned the corner and an adversary with an AK-47 was right in front of him. He shot him twice in the chest and the man with the AK-47 kept coming, so he shot him once in the head. Today’s failure to stop drill is typically done from the holster, 7 yards from the target. On the tone, the shooter draws from the holster and takes two shots to a designated area in the upper chest, followed immediately by one shot to a designated area in the head. The drill tests, quick holster draw, rapid site acquisition, defensive, shooting, and precision shooting. The drill also helps the shooter develop shot speed modulation.
