Course of Fire

At the start signal, present the weapon to the target, fire two rounds, reload, and fire two additional rounds.

(a common variation of this drill fires 1, reload, then 1 round; however, firing a second shot each time guarantees that the student is aiming and exercising proper shooting technique rather than rushing too fast)
