FUSION™ FLOW DRILL

Updated: Nov 5

String it together smoothly.

Fusion Flow is a multi-zone performance string that asks you to link small and large zones in a single flowing run. It’s about preserving sight clarity and grip through a non-linear sequence so shooting becomes a continuous, accurate motion rather than disconnected bursts.


Why this drill matters:


Most drill isolates skills. But some work on putting those skills together. Performance relies on synthesis. Fusion Flow forces the system to integrate: visual sequencing, throttle control, recoil management, and recovery. It’s an endurance check for coordination and decision-making. When you can maintain flow through a complex string, you’ve turned isolated drills into practical ability.


It also reveals performance breakdowns:

  • Losing track of sight alignment during extended strings

  • Overdriving transitions or snapping too hard between zones

  • Mentally pausing instead of flowing from task to task


If you want to build real-world performance that carries from drill to drill, this is your bridge.

Set it up:

  • Distance: 5 to 7 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target A-zone and Alpha-hex zones.

  • Rounds: 12+6

  • Reps: 2

  • Start Position: Holster or compressed ready

  • Tools: shot timer, or par time app.


How to run the drill:

1. On the beep present from the holster or compressed ready, fire 2 rounds into the A-zone


2. Transition and fire 1 round into the Alpha-hex A.


3. Repeat the shot sequence with each Alpha-hex in alphabetical order (A,B,C,D,E).

4. Reload and finish the last sequence (2 rounds to the A-zone, 1 round to the F).


Run the entire sequence without pausing or resetting between strings


Note: if you have an 18+ round magazine, run it clean with 1 mag.

Scoring Hit Factor:

Elite >8.00

Advanced 7.00 – 7.99

Proficient 6.00 – 6.99

Developing 5.00 – 5.99

Foundational < 5.00


What you are actually training:

  • Visual sequencing: training your eyes to lead every movement so the gun always follows a deliberate visual cue — no wasted transitions, no hesitation.

  • Throttle control: learning to vary pace and pressure based on target size, distance, and confirmation — speeding up where you can, slowing down where you must.

  • Grip endurance and consistency: holding structural integrity through an extended, mixed string so recoil behavior stays predictable across all zones.

  • Integrated shooting tasks: blending sight, trigger, and transition timing into one continuous process instead of disconnected tasks.

  • Cognitive flow under fatigue: sustaining mental clarity, decision-making, and mechanical precision even as the sequence lengthens and complexity increases.



Drill Tips

Run it slow first, then faster each rep. You can’t flow what you can’t control.

The Fusion Flow Drill is featured in week 9 of the Fusion Targets™ 12 Week Pistol Program. It ties together the core skills you have been developing and tests your ability to stay mentally and visually engaged through a complete shooting sequence.


If you are ready to train in a way that actually builds carryover, the full program is waiting.
