15 reps: two fast presses low card, one deliberate slow press high card. Feel the gear-shift between speeds.
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.
The classic duty standard. Run it from the holster if permitted.
Your carry trigger will tell on you on shot three. Listen.
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.
Your eyes can move twice as fast as your muzzle. Let them.
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: card A shrinks — index card folded in half.
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.”
Non-negotiable. Every drill, every rep, every time. This applies to live fire and dry fire.
