QUADS

   This workhorse target is ideal for all rifle, pistol and precision rifle training. It's also intentionally well suited for sighting in magnified optics and red-dot optics due to the shades of grey and 1 inch squares.

 

Drill #1

 (A) From 3 yards away, Fire one round into each target 1-4 in ascending order.
 (B) From 7 yards away, Fire one shot at 1-4 in descending order.
 (C) From 10 yards away, Fire one shot at 1-4 in ascending order.

*Challenge
yourself - with a shot timer write down the time of each string, A, B
& C. Add up the times up for a total. Keep a training log. Do this
with a training partner and challenge each other.

 

Drill #2 

Two rounds, on 4 targets.
Shot timer recommended.  The primary learning objectives for this drill are:
1) continue to move the muzzle without pausing while engaging the
trigger.

2) teaches the shooter how to engage a moving target

3) Teaches the shooter to shift the eyes to the next target in advance of the muzzle.

4) teaches the shooter to engage multiple targets. This drill
can be run with a rifle or pistol, from the holster or other starting position. 
Recommended Distance -  3-10 yds. *All shots within the smaller inside the 4x6 box for time to count.

 When a shooter learns to do this correctly, all 4 targets can be engaged accurately with two rounds in each box in less than 5 seconds. A great time is less than 3 seconds.

 Cadence is the key. A smooth cadence is one of the keys to shooting fast. Start out with a slow cadence and
as you progress speed up it up. It's best if you have a shot timer to
accomplish this.

Drill #3

Mag change drill. Shot-timer recommended. Load: 2 magazines w/4 rounds each. On the timer, fire 2 rounds into each of the 4 targets.

A mag change will be required after engaging the first 2 targets. A good time is under 6 seconds.

Drill #4 

(Requires a training partner) The training partner will call out a random sequence of numbers.

 Recommendation: call out the number sequence, then pause for a moment and let it sink into the shooters mind.
Then, call Threat or whatever command you choose to start.
the sound of the shot-timer. This is an introduction to teaching thinking and shooting, a critical skill set to have.

Drill #5

Choose starting position, such as from the holster, or from the low ready. *Put it on the timer.

STRING 1:
ONE SHOT ON 1
TWO SHOTS ON 2
THREE SHOTS ON 3
FOUR SHOTS ON 4 (7 rounds total)

STRING 2: Two then 1, two then 1, on two different targets.
TWO SHOTS ON 1
ONE SHOT ON 2
TWO SHOTS ON 3
ONE SHOT ON 4

*This is a cognitive shooting drill, requiring the shooter to think and shoot. Always a good thing 🎯
