Two Speeds, One Drill
Dry-Fire · At Home
15 reps: two fast presses low card, one deliberate slow press high card. Feel the gear-shift between speeds.
Live-Fire · At the Range
8 strings at 7 yd: 2 rds card B, assess, 1 rd card A, slow. The third shot is a DIFFERENT shot — precision after speed.
Service Pistol
The classic duty standard. Run it from the holster if permitted.
Concealed Carry
Your carry trigger will tell on you on shot three. Listen.
Carbine
2 rds at 25, transition to the small card up close — know your optic's offset.
AUX (when ready): full sequence under 4.0s with all three hits.
Notice door hinges: doors open toward the hinges' side. Tiny knowledge, real speed.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
The first two shots are yours. The third belongs to the front sight.
The “assess” between shots 2 and 3 is the entire drill. Actually look.
The whole sequence exists to protect everyone behind the problem. Train all of it.
Two cadences, zero blending. Keep the gears clean.
Layer: start from the ready, add a step.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded — always, no matter what you think you know.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
- Be sure of your target — and everything beyond it.
Dry-fire: no ammunition in the room. Verify the firearm is clear — twice. Use a safe backstop. When you finish, say it out loud: “Dry fire is over.”

- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
