38supPat Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I like the idea of doing this drill with IDPA targets! I'll have to grab some and try....might try bianchi targets too since they'll be easier for me to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 that just gave me an idea ... i'm going to do the drill with both 10" and 12" steel plates used for Steel Challenge .. just need to decide on what would be a good distance for each size ...

Just4FunLP Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm a C hoping to soon be a B. I'm practicing for the Florida Open (my first big match), so I was using classic targets. I think that may have cost me a couple of A's. 7.06 This thread has been going on for over four years now, so it must be good. Cant wait to hear the rest of the story....

Lobster45 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi. I'm fairly new when it comes to competitive shooting and I'm very interested to try this drill. But we only have an indoor range so I won't be able to set up 3 targets side by side. Do you have any suggestion how I can recreate this drill in an indoor setting? Thanks guys! Btw, this forum is a goldmine! I'm glad to have stumbled upon it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can you only set up one target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster45 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes sir. Up to 25 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Since the goal of the Transition Drill is to reveal the best visual technique to effectively shoot multiple targets (that are not right next to each other), unfortunately, you won't be able to set up the drill with one target.

waktasz Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You don't need to shoot live bullets at the range to practice this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you could place 3, 3" dots on an IPSC target at 5-7m you might be able to do something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty79 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I do this drill in my garage in dry fire. It certainly helps with the vision. It's the only transition drill I do that doesn't have a reload in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogan Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Finally got around to shooting this drill....I've only shot IDPA for a few years and just barely made ESP expert last classifier (last month) so not sure if my times are up to par with other experts or if I'm still in SS or worse, MM territory!lol I ran the drill 8 times. First 4 are from left to right, last 4 were right to left. String 1-4.75 with 0.5 added String 2-5.08 with 1.5 added String 3-4.76 with 2.5 added String 4-5.72 with 2.5 added String 5-5.20 with 0 added (finally!) String 6-5.53 with 2.0 added String 7-5.24 with 1.5 added String 8-5.46 with 1.5 added Think that comes to a 6.72 average. My first shots were anywhere from 1.27 to 1.48. Most were in the 1.40's. Might be ready for pt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeanutGallery Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Shot this over the weekend, 10 runs, 6.86 average adjusted time, with an average of 1.4 misses per run. Learned that I'm super slow on 1st shots, and the times I really thought I was flying were only a couple tenths faster than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaker5 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 When doing transition work at short distances do find it best to shoot with one eye or two eyes open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Most people use two eyes... I do regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaker5 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have tried but just make it work. I see double. Is there a trick or something I can do to keep this from happening. Any drills or anything would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quaker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I tried Part 2 and it improved my time by atleast 1.5... this drill is very helpful in trimming your transition time and it really opened up my mind in paying attention to targets and seeing with details unlike the way I see it before, I'm not sure if its just me but once I snap my eyes to the next target and drive my sight to it, as soon as I got my acceptable sight picture and starting to press the trigger (by this time, if my hand does its part, I know my shot will hit the A zone) - then my eyes would snap on to the next for another cycle. My question is, should I aim all through out until the shot breaks like a follow through in golf, or should I continue what I'm doing and snap to the next target without waiting for the shot to break? I know hitting the target is hitting the target but I just want to know what would be beneficial for me in the long run and also to develop the right habit. Cheers!

a matt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just like in golf, if you pull off the target with your eyes before your shot breaks you will pull off the target with your gun and at least hit C's and D's if not have a miss. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red magnum Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Today I did 9 runs with and average of 5.42 most of the time I'd have 2 out of the A raw time average was 4.63. At the end of the session I went full out and got a 3.96 all alpha, now I need to pull that every time.
