1 TRANSITION 1

Every movement matters. Every shot counts.

This drill strips transitions down to their simplest form : two zones, two shots. That gives you nowhere to hide. It challenges your ability to control the gun, move your eyes, and break both shots with purpose. Simple format. High value.

Why this drill matters:

Most shooters get lazy in transitions. They either outrun their sights or bring the gun over too slowly. The 1 Transition 1 Drill focuses your attention on movement , visual and mechanical, with just enough pressure to reveal what’s real.


It also highlights common failures:

  • Sloppy entry or exit 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: 7 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target Precision Boxes- far left and right.

  • Rounds: 2 per rep

  • Reps: 5

  • Start Position: Compressed ready



How to run the drill:

a. Start in a compressed ready position


b. On the beep, fire one round into the Left or Right Precision box


c. Transition immediately and fire one round into the opposite


d. Track your hits and timing


e. Repeat for 5 total 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.

  • Cadence control without rhythm: You are training for performance in drills that have no predictable pace.

  • Grip retention in motion: You are building hand stability that keeps your gun tracking during fast transitions.


Drill Tips

This is not a double. Treat both shots like first shots with a fast, deliberate movement in between.

The 1 Transition 1 Drill appears in Week 3 of the Fusion Targets 12 Week Pistol Program. It trains you to think, move, and shoot with intention — not momentum.
