I have been on the job 26 years and I learned something new watching this drill. Very well done.

Interesting that he/she looks upward even though their eyes are covered

[@EvolvedTactics]

It’s because we know the course we don’t do it completely blind we see it before we do it usually. I can assure you he cannot see.

It’s similar to when people look up while thinking
