Criterion One

1.66 seconds faster on the same three shots. Here is what changed.

3 Plates, 3 Positions

Three 6-inch plates at 12 to 15 yards and a wall with a port in the middle. Draw and hit the left plate from the left side of the wall. Move right and hit a middle plate through the port. Move right again and hit the far right plate. Three rounds.

My first run was a 5.91 with a pistol. I was standing tall to shoot, so I had to drop down before I could leave each position.

My best run was a 4.25, three for three. The key was keeping my center of gravity lower so I could drive out of position harder and enter the next position ready to shoot sooner. I also stayed connected to the pistol so I was able to keep my master grip throughout the drill instead of requiring a new grip every time I changed positions. This is preferred for closer movements of 3 to 5 yards. Taking my hand off the gun and using my arms to increase my momentum is generally reserved for longer movements where I can prioritize increasing speed between the position that I’m exiting and the position I’m entering.

Pick a specific spot on each plate and drive your eyes to the next one before you move. Target focused and dot aware.

Run it and post your time below.

Save this for your next range day and send it to whoever you train with.
