The drill is abeginner-level shooting drillthat does not require an advanced skill set.
The drill also does not require an advanced level of fitness or mobility.
So, this is a great skill-builder for new shooters.
For this drill you will, of course, need your firearm, either pistol or carbine.
Second, you will need not one but two targets.
The targets can be either steel or paper it will really depend on what caliber you are shooting.
Next, you will need some space to shoot and a safe/solid backstop.
Last but not least, our optional piece of gear is a shot timer.
However, you obviously could use it to simply record how fast you complete the drill.
1010 Transition Drill: The Details
Here is how the drill is actually set up.
In our demonstration in the above video, we shot this drill from concealment using our Hellcat Pro.
We suggest just using paper targets with your rifle rounds and keeping the distance at 10 yards.
Basically, each time the shooter hits the target, he will then transition to the next target.
The goal is to hit each target as many times as your magazine capacity will allow.
Strike, transition, strike, transition bouncing back and forth the whole time.
If you actually shoot and miss the target, then you will keep firing until you hit it again.
Then once you hit it, you move on.
Grant runs the drill until his magazine is out.
Shooters will also, of course, get reps to control recoil and trigger pull.
The biggest thing that shooters will get training with on this drill is target transitions.
Doing this, you’ve got the option to stop your sights on your target.
Grant encourages those who do this drill to really be intentional about shifting to transition at the hips.
He mentions that after completing the drill, you should feel as if youve done a workout.
Your hips will constantly be moving to rotate as you bounce between the targets.
The rotation at the hips is key to a successful target transition.
The 1010 transition drill is a fantastic start to getting yourself good practice on the range.
Next time you are out, give this drill a shot to work on your transitions.
You wont regret it!
