Position Entry — dry fire drill

Setup

Set a start point 2–3 m from a marked shooting position (e.g. floor tape) with a visible target.

Position entry is one of the elements that most separates an experienced dynamic/practical shooter from a beginner. The key mistake to avoid: "stop first, then start preparing the gun." Done correctly, the gun and eyes start preparing for the target while still decelerating — not after coming to a full stop.

Step by step

1

Accelerate toward the position.

2

Begin decelerating in the final phase.

3

Start bringing the gun up while still decelerating — don't wait until you stop.

4

Arrive with stable sights.

5

Engage the target immediately after arriving.

Coaching cues

Brake before the position.Arrive ready to engage.

Common mistakes
