Transitions
Two Target Transition — dry fire drill
Setup
Two small targets side by side, angular separation of 20°, 45°, or 90° depending on level.
Two Target Transition is one of the most important shooting transition drills in dynamic/practical shooting. The rule is simple: eyes lead, the gun follows. Too many shooters try to move the gun and eyes at the same time, resulting in overswing and corrections that cost time. Training this in dry fire lets you build the right sequence without the pressure of live shots.
Step by step
Finish your work on target A — confirm the sight picture.
Move your eyes to target B first, before the gun moves.
Let the gun follow your eyes, not the other way around.
Stop the gun exactly on the new target, without overswinging.
Optional: use a timer with a par time as a personal reference — not an official standard.
Coaching cues
Common mistakes
Moving the gun before the eyes reach the new target.
Overswinging past the target and correcting back.
Stopping between targets.
Excessive tension in the shoulders and arms.
Dry-fire safety
Perform this drill only with a cleared, unloaded firearm, after checking the chamber, with ammunition removed from the room, aimed in a safe direction. See our full safety checklist on the dry fire training page.
