Shoot, Move, Shoot Again
Dry-Fire · At Home
Verified clear. Fifteen reps: draw and press twice, take two steps to a new position with the muzzle in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger, then press twice more. Your finger comes off the trigger before your feet move, every time.
Live-Fire · At the Range
If your range allows movement, run five strings at 7 yards: two rounds, move two steps, two rounds. If movement is not allowed, lower to ready and come back up between the pairs, and do the footwork dry at home.
Service Pistol
Moving in full gear takes more room than you expect. Practice it in the gear.
Concealed Carry
Moving between shots is how you get to cover or to an exit. Keep the trigger finger straight while you do it.
Carbine
Carbine version: two rounds at 25 yards, move with the muzzle down and the safety on, then two more.
AUX (when ready): four hits from two positions in under six seconds.
Your finger leaves the trigger before your feet leave the ground.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
You move well. The discipline is in the trigger finger while you do it.
Know where you are going before you take the first step.
Moving should take you toward your people or put you between them and the problem.
Shoot, finger off, move, set, shoot. Keep that order.
Layer: make the second position a kneeling one.
- 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.”
