But there is another excellent carbine drill developed by Kyle Lamb from Viking Tactics named the 2x2x2 drill.
Lamb is the founder and president of Viking Tactics, a tactical training and tactical gear business.
The Drill
Lamb developed the 2x2x2 drill to mimic a specific scenario.
To neutralize each target, you must place two rounds into each targets vitals.
Your shots must be controlled in pairs.
The way to shoot fast is to slow down a bit.
Remember the old adage, slow is smooth, and smooth is fast?
In this drill, you will fire two rounds on the three targets, transitioning quickly between targets.
We positioned ourselves about 10 feet from the target stands and each target a few feet apart.
That means we practiced this drill in street clothes and with the Hellcat Pro in a concealment holster.
To fire off the 2x2x2 in this way is a bit different.
By running the drill in this manner, you might touch on various valuable skills.
This includes things like: clearing the garment, achieving a good grip and correctly using your support hand.
The fourth skill will be trigger control, being able to shoot accurately.
But perhaps the biggest skill being worked out on this drill is target transitions.
To do this, you must transition the right way, using your body to achieve proper alignment.
When you transition from target to target, you gotta start your movement in your hips.
If you cant dance or dont dance, this might feel foreign to you.
Your whole torso must shift from target to target.
As you take a stab at transition through, you will see your head coming out of alignment.
A common mistake can be moving the arms and following with the hips.
Avoid that mistake to improve your transitions.
Shooting targets at this close of a range can lead to some safety issues if you are not careful.
For example, you cannot perform this drill with steel targets so close.
Conclusion
Get out and try this simple yet feature-packed drill.
Time yourself against your buddies and let competition drive you to be better.
This is a great drill to hammer on some defensive shooting fundamentals.
