The Pistol Speed Barricade is a standard Tactical Games stage designed to test an athlete’s ability to quickly establish stable shooting platforms using a VTAC barricade. It requires aggressive movement, spatial awareness, and solid recoil management from unconventional ports.
Completing all 20 hits in under 90 seconds (the Time Cap) demonstrates solid movement and weapon handling. High-level athletes will strive to complete the drill smoothly and much faster, focusing on efficient transitions between the varied height ports.
To progress, focus on driving your eyes to the next port before the gun. Minimize excess body movement and ensure your sights are stabilized as soon as you settle into a new position. Perfect for building dynamic barricade skills.
