Joining A Rebel Army In Africa?

In the realm of self-defense shooting, there's a drill that carries the essence of balance: the Mozambique Drill. It's not just a country in Africa, but a symphony of two shots to the chest and one to the head. In this dance between speed and precision, we find the sweet spot for combat-style shooting.

The Art of Balancing Speed and Accuracy

As my instructor Mike Lee Canarix wisely imparts, self-defense shooting demands a delicate equilibrium between speed and accuracy. Picture this: if you're aiming for a pinprick on the horizon, you'll take it slow. But in the chaos of reality, rapid-fire isn't a guarantee of hitting the mark. There's a chasm between competitive flair and the combat dance we're perfecting.

For beginners, this is the baby step. Starting slow, we approach with deliberation—two to the chest, one to the head. Each shot, a step towards mastery. Yes, it's a beginner's stride, but even the mightiest oaks sprouted from acorns.

The Dance of Distance: From Draw to Impact

Picture this: the closer you stand, the higher the gun must rise. It's a waltz of geometry and instinct, a dance of inches or a ballet of feet. Whether you're an arm's length away or distant horizons beckon, your arms sculpt this lethal dance. Remember, in self-defense, smaller movements are a virtuoso's touch.

Now, for the indoor range maestros, a word of caution: mind the ceiling! Go too high, and you might end up serenading the pulley system. It's a costly encore you'd rather not perform.

Magazine Changes and Angled Challenges: Elevating the Mozambique

Ah, the Mozambique Drill, now seasoned with a dash of complexity. Picture this: two to the chest, one to the head, and a pause for a magazine swap. As the rhythm shifts, so does the angle, transforming the stage. At six yards, it's a feat of focus, a testament to practice. It wasn't always this way. In the early days, precision was elusive, and recoil's anticipation was a stumbling block.

Final Notes: Safety, Precision, and the Journey Forward

In this ballet of bullets, safety reigns supreme. Eyes shielded, ears guarded, and the barrel ever mindful of its direction. Accidents are uninvited guests, after all. So, whether you're a novice or a seasoned virtuoso, let the Mozambique Drill be your guide. Let each shot be a brushstroke on the canvas of self-defense mastery.

As we conclude this performance, I extend a hand of gratitude for joining this journey. Remember, every shot is a step towards brilliance. Frank Latella, signing off from the realm of Boynton guns. Until the next act, keep honing those skills. Bravo!
