3x3 CHEST TO HEAD

Updated: Nov 4, 2025

Think faster. Shoot cleaner.

The 3×3 Chest-to-Head builds ability to transition between target zones with increasing difficulty, controlling speed and vision under pressure. It’s a visual throttle exercise that isolates visual feedback with deliberate fire , helping you link pace to target size instinctively.


Why this drill matters:

This drill exposes how well you see your sights under pace. Shooting three into the upper A-zone, then transitioning to three in the head zone, forces you to adjust rhythm and focus instantly. It also highlights when your brain chases speed over control. The faster you can manage that change without error, the sharper your decision-making becomes under real-world stress.


It also reveals:

  • Rushed transitions that skip confirmation

  • Disconnected grip or poor visual control

  • Split times that outpace your actual ability

If you miss during this drill, the problem is shooting faster than you can see. This fixes it.


Set it up:

  • Distance: 5 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target head zone and A-zone

  • Rounds: 6 per rep

  • Reps: 5

  • Start Position: Compressed ready



How to run the drill:

a. Begin in compressed ready


b. On the beep, fire three rounds into the Upper A-zone.


c. Immediately transition and fire three rounds into the Head A-zone.


d. All rounds must be within their proper zones


e. Repeat for 5 total reps

What you are actually training:

  • Zone recognition under speed: You are learning to visually lock onto a small zone after transitioning cleanly from a larger one.

  • Cadence flexibility: You are building the ability to vary your shooting pace based on zone size and confirmation needs.

  • Transition control: You are reinforcing clean movement from one zone to another without losing grip or focus.

  • Split discipline: You are training yourself not to rush or delay shots based on rhythm but based on visual readiness.



Drill Tips

If your shots groups are large or out of the hit zone, you are trying to win with speed without sight confirmation.

The 3×3 Chest-to-Head Drill appears in Week 7 of the Fusion Targets 12-Week Program. It teaches fast, intentional zone transitions to improve accuracy under acceleration.
