Two Targets, Eyes First
Dry-Fire · At Home
Verified clear. Twenty reps of draw, press on card A, move your eyes to card B, bring the gun to where your eyes are, and press. The eyes lead and the gun follows. If the gun arrives before your eyes do, you will swing past the card.
Live-Fire · At the Range
Twenty rounds at 7 yards in five strings: draw or come up from ready, two rounds on card A, two rounds on card B. Change which card you start on each string.
Service Pistol
Run the transitions with the light as well if your agency issues one.
Concealed Carry
More than one person is a common version of a bad night. Practice it from concealment.
Carbine
Carbine version: two rounds on each card at 25 yards, driving the rifle with your support hand.
AUX (when ready): four hits on two cards in under four seconds from the draw.
You can only shoot one target at a time, so decide the order before you start.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
You will swing the gun hard and overshoot. Let your eyes get there first.
This drill rewards what you already do, which is look before you act.
Two targets also means twice the area behind them to be responsible for.
The order matters. Work out a rule for which target comes first and then apply it.
Layer: place the cards at different distances.
- 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.”
The Four Universal Safety Rules

- 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.
