FUSION PRO STANDARDS DRILL

Updated: Nov 6

Measure it. Master it.

The Fusion Pro Standard is the program capstone: a timed, multi-zone sequence designed to assess how well all the skills you’ve trained integrate under realistic stress. It’s the most honest single test of your functional performance.


Why this drill matters:

Isolated drills train parts; the Fusion Pro Standard tests how well you can put it all together. It demands presentation, throttle control, transitions, precision, and endurance in one scored run. The results tell you whether your practice has distilled into usable ability or remains fragmented. Run it regularly and use the data to guide targeted cycles of improvement.


It also exposes problem areas fast:

  • Weak trigger control under speed

  • Inconsistent grip during string

  • Missed transitions


Set it up:

  • Distance: 7-10 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target™ A-zone, Alpha-hex zones, and the IPSC head box

  • Rounds: 13

  • Reps: 2

  • Start Position: Holster or Compressed Ready


How to run the drill:


1. On the beep fire 3 rounds into the center A-zone.


2. Transition left to the letter A, and fire 1 round.


3. Transition to the letter D, and fire 1 round.


4. Return to center and fire 3 rounds into the A-zone.


5. Fire 1 round into the head box


6. Finish with 1 round to each remaining Alpha-hex zones (B,C,E,F)


7. Repeat the sequence for a total of 2 reps.

Scoring Hit Factor: Each hit is worth 5 points. Elite >10

Advanced 9.0 – 9.9

Proficient 8.0 – 8.9

Developing 7.0 – 7.9

Foundational < 6.9


What you are actually training:

Integration under pressure: Linking draw, grip, sight, and trigger mechanics into one continuous process. Every rep proves how well your fundamentals hold together when it counts.


Cadence and throttle control: Adjusting tempo between A-zone, Alpha-hex, and head zones without visual or mechanical breakdown.


Transition discipline: Driving the eyes first, the gun second, and confirming sights before each shot. Smooth transitions are the difference between rhythm and chaos.


Drill Tips

Run it clean first. Don’t chase the clock until you can run the sequence mistake-free. Speed built on control sticks; speed built on panic collapses.

The Fusion Pro Standards Drill is the capstone of the Fusion Targets 12 Week Pistol Program. It puts your training to the test and gives you a true picture of your capabilities.


If you're ready to stop guessing and start measuring, this is the drill that sets the bar.
