2+2 Zone Transition

Twice the zones. Twice the truth.

The 2+2 Zone Transition drill forces you to earn every shot with visual clarity and movement discipline. You get two rounds in one zone, followed by two more in a second. That sounds simple, until you try to keep your cadence tight and your hits clean.

Why this drill matters:

Zone transitions are often where accuracy falls apart. The 2+2 format tests your ability to stay in control while your eyes and gun change targets. The goal is not just to move fast, but to move deliberately with proper visual confirmation before every press.


It also reveals:

  • Hesitation between target shifts

  • Premature trigger presses during transitions

  • Visual lag or misalignment

  • Grip breakdown when changing direction

If you want consistent hits across zones, this drill shows you how.


Set it up:

  • Distance: 7 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target A-zone Top and Bottom

  • Rounds: 4 per rep

  • Reps: 5

  • Start Position: Compressed ready


How to run the drill:

a. Start from compressed ready


b. On the beep, fire two rounds into the A-zone- Top


c. Transition immediately and fire two rounds into the A-zone Bottom


d. Maintain visual control and clean mechanics throughout


e. Repeat for 5 total reps

What you are actually training:

  • Visual discipline across targets: You are learning to acquire and confirm sight picture before pressing the trigger during a shift.

  • Cadence control under movement: You are building timing that adjusts to transitions without rushing.

  • Grip and recoil management: You are reinforcing the ability to hold the gun stable through direction changes.

  • Zone-to-zone accountability: You are learning to give each target the focus and control it demands.

  • Mental sequencing: You are improving your ability to smoothly execute multi-step drills under pressure.


Drill Tips

If your rounds drift wide during the transition, slow down your eyes and confirm the new zone before moving the gun.

The 2+2 Zone Transition drill appears in Week 5 of the Fusion Targets 12 Week Pistol Program. It trains your eyes, your hands, and your discipline to follow a controlled sequence. You will learn to shoot each zone like it is the only one that matters.
