Every movement matters. Every shot counts.
The 1 Transition 1 is a compact, high-value warm-up that forces your eyes to lead clean, one-shot transitions between two small aiming points. It’s simple on paper, one shot left, one shot right, but the discipline it builds is foundational: clean visual jumps, getting off the first target, and snaping onto the second target. Use it to prime the nervous system for more complex transition work later in the session.
Why this drill matters:
Transitions are the bottleneck between deliberate accuracy and sloppy speed. The 1 Transition 1 isolates the single most important habit in a quality transition: vision-led movement. When you force yourself to drive your eyes to the next aiming point and then bring the gun to that point , instead of sweeping the muzzle across the gap, you build the sensory-motor link that prevents zone-confusion and rushed follow-ups. Over time those tiny, intentional visual jumps become automatic and give you cleaner first hits when the tempo increases.
It also highlights common failures:
Sloppy exit or entry into zones
Poor visual discipline between targets
Overshooting or dragging transitions due to poor grip or timing
This is the drill that tightens everything between your shots.
Set it up:
Distance: 3-5 yards
Target: Fusion Target Precision Boxes- far left and right.
Rounds: 2 per rep
Reps: 5
Start Position: Full presentation
How to run the drill:
a. From full presentation, fire 1 shot into the first (left) target.
b. Drive your eyes to the second (right) target, bring the sights to that visual point, and fire 1 shot.
c. Reset your grip and vision and repeat for the prescribed reps.
What you are actually training:
Visual transition between zones: You are developing faster eye movement to lead the gun cleanly from one zone to the next.
Target entry discipline: You are reinforcing the habit of seeing and confirming your second shot before breaking it.
Efficient movement mechanics: You are learning to shift between zones without overcorrection or dragging.
Grip retention in motion: You are building hand stability that keeps your gun tracking during fast transitions.
Drill Tips
Eyes first, always: If your hits look like a smear between targets, you’re sweeping, slow down and force the visual jump.
Keep it precise, not fast: This is a warm-up. Smooth, clean transitions win here; speed can be layered later.
Reset between reps: Use the pause to check your grip and sight picture, don’t let a sloppy rep cascade into the next one.
The 1 Transition 1 Drill appears in Week 8of the Fusion Targets 12 Week Pistol Program. It trains you to think, move, and shoot with intention — not momentum.
