Kyle Defoor’s "Hat Qual" drill is a demanding exercise designed to test a shooter’s precision, accuracy, and consistency at longer distances.

The drill involves shooting a B8 target placed 25 yards away, requiring a high level of skill to complete successfully. To pass the "Hat Qual," shooters must fire 10 rounds, achieving a score of 90 or better on the B8 target within a time limit of 20 seconds from the holster.

This drill is a true test of marksmanship, as it challenges shooters to maintain tight groups and precise shot placement under time pressure. It is widely respected in both tactical and competitive shooting circles for its ability to highlight a shooter’s strengths and weaknesses.

Those who successfully complete the drill earn a Defoor hat, symbolizing their advanced shooting proficiency. The "Hat Qual" is ideal for shooters looking to push their limits and refine their long-distance accuracy. Regular practice with this drill can significantly enhance your trigger control, sight alignment, and overall shooting discipline.
