  1. Setup:
  • Arrange four shooting positions in the shape of a square or "box," with about 5-7 yards between each corner.
  • Place targets (usually two to four) at various distances from the center of the box, ensuring they are visible from each corner.
  1. Movement:
  • Begin at one corner of the box, and the shooter will engage the targets while moving to the next corner.
  • The shooter will move in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the box, engaging targets from all four corners.
  1. Shooting:
  • Depending on the drill variation, shooters can engage one or multiple targets from each corner.
  • The drill can be run as either "shoot while moving" or stopping briefly at each corner to engage targets before continuing.
  • Typical round count is 1-2 shots per target per position.
  1. Goal:
  • The goal is to maintain accuracy while moving and reduce transition times between positions, practicing shooting on the move, or positional accuracy.

Description

The Box Drill is a versatile USPSA shooting exercise designed to improve both movement and shooting accuracy. Shooters move in a square or "box" pattern, engaging targets at each corner of the box. Typically, the drill involves shooting while moving forward, laterally, and backward, helping to refine footwork, balance, and transitions between targets. The focus is on maintaining accuracy while on the move and reducing unnecessary movement to maximize efficiency.

This drill simulates real match scenarios, where shooters often need to engage targets from multiple positions while maintaining speed and control. By practicing the Box Drill, competitors can enhance their ability to shoot accurately from different angles and improve their overall stage performance.
