The Pistol Offense

What are people using for 3 and 5 step drops out of the pistol formation ? Are you staying with 3 and 5 steps or are you using Gun 1 and 3 step drops ? Thanks

We only use the Gun 1 Step as our routes are short most of the times. Gun Step with 3 also makes sense, but never drop 5 or even more

Coach is right.

Our short game is catch, hitch and throw.

Our deeper routes are catch, three step and throw.

After the 3rd step, we want the QB to step up in the pocket or roll out.

Our 5 step (under center) becomes 3 steps (in pistol)
Our quick game is a 2 step drop (non throwing foot forward). First step is w/ non throwing foot, 2nd step is anchor step in direction of throw.
