Course of Fire

  1. One shot, one second time limit: aimed in on the target with the finger on the trigger.
  2. One shot, two second time limit: from the low ready.
  3. One shot, three second time limit: draw from the holster.
  4. Two shots, four second time limit: draw from the holster.

Once you can accomplish the drill as is, I recommend altering the target or the time or both. I usually use a 2″ circle, and shoot each stage in about 3/4 of the allotted time. You can make it easier or harder as you see fit.

Description

The Prep Time Drill is a focused shooting exercise designed to improve a shooter’s trigger control, specifically addressing the common issue of shot anticipation or “jerking” the trigger. This drill emphasizes the importance of a smooth, consistent trigger press, helping shooters build precision and confidence in their shooting technique.
