The V Exercise

The V Exercise

The V Exercise was created for those that would like a continuous moving and shooting exercise that can be scaled to a moving and transitioning exercise. The exercise was created force more movement, at different directions, to promote safe handling of firearms and forcing shooters to get out of the line-based shooting. It gives shooters a chance to move at a speed that they can go, not the speed of others. It also forces a little bit of thinking depending on setup.

Setup and Shooting instructions:

Version 1: 1x Target setup/Full magazine of shooting

Cones in a V shape where the bottom of the V is down range. The arms of the V should be around 10 yds from the bottom of the V, but it can be longer. Width is up to you and the space available. The bottom of the V is set at a minimum of 25 yds from 1 target in the center. When set up is complete the V should be pointing at the target in the middle.

Starting position is on either arm of the V and you will move and shoot at a continuous rate until you reach the center of the V, then you will SAFE the firearm, orient in a SAFE direction, then walk, run or sprint to the top of the other arm. Then you will turn towards the targets and begin moving and shooting continuously towards the middle of the V and repeat the process for the remainder of your magazine.

Version 2: 2x Target setup/Full magazine of shooting

Cones are the same as Version 1. Set up a target 25 yds in front of each of the arms of the V. When set up is complete the V should be pointing in between the targets.

Starting position is on either arm of the V and you will move and shoot and transition between targets or shoot one of the targets at a continuous rate until you reach the center of the V, then you will SAFE the firearm, orient in a SAFE direction, then walk, run or sprint to the top of the other arm. Then you will turn towards the targets and begin moving and shooting and transitioning between targets or just shooting the opposite of the previous side continuously move towards the middle of the V and repeat the process for the remainder of your magazine.

Version 3: 3x Target setup/Full magazine of shooting

Cones are the same as Version 1 and 2. Set up a target 25 yds in the middle and in front of each of the arms of the V. When set up is complete the V should be pointing at the center target in a 3 target array.

Starting position is on either arm of the V and you will move and shoot and transition between all 3 targets at a continuous rate until you reach the center of the V, then you will SAFE the firearm, orient in a SAFE direction, then walk, run, or sprint to the top of the other arm. Then you will turn towards the targets and begin moving and shooting and transitioning between all 3 targets continuously move towards the middle of the V and repeat the process for the remainder of your magazine.

Target/Scoring Options:

If on steel, all hits are expected. This is a an all or nothing exercise. Make sure to use discretion on the steel and what you’re shooting at it. I’m not your real dad, you do what you want. If on paper, the A-zone should be the target zone and it should be scored based on the amount of rounds you chose to shoot. All “A” zone hits are expected. “C” or worse hits are considered a reminder that you suck and need to practice more. You’re welcome. If these standards are too high, stop expecting less of yourself. You are better than that. Do better. For more information or clarification visit Kinetic-consulting.net
