Burkett Reloads

Here is a great reload drill created by Mark Burkett.  All credit for this is his.  Also make sure to visit to his site www.mattburkett.com.  Now I hear a lot of gripping about having to pick magazines off the floor when doing this exercise.  Really? Here is how i've solved that.   I get a night stand and place it in front of me, then I place a cloth basket with a couple of things on top of it to soften the fall of the mags.  Reach down to grab them without having to bend.  Specially nice on the range.  You can place the iPhone/iTouch in front on you so you can see the Drills message.

This exercise is hard at first.  Having to hold your arms through 50 reps is not easy.  If you need to lower the repetitions to 5 to build up some strength, do it.

Drill: Burkett Reloads

Start Position: Pointed at target.  
Procedure: Do a reload but do not introduce the mag into the firearm.  Simply present it at the mag opening on the pistol.  
Distance:  The distance to the target can vary since what I'm looking for is to perform the reload.  Make it two yards or 10yards.
