Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Triple Dipper drill and what skills does it develop?

The Triple Dipper is a rifle training drill designed to improve target transitions, accuracy, and shot count awareness. It involves engaging a standard target and a target with index cards, forcing shooters to focus on precise shots and complete specific round counts for each engagement.

How is the Triple Dipper drill set up?

The drill requires two IPSC targets placed six yards apart, with the shooter positioned six yards back. The right target is turned sideways and marked with three index cards at its edges and center, creating smaller engagement points.

What are the benefits of practicing the Triple Dipper drill?

This drill helps break the habit of shooting pairs, simulates real-world scenarios with varying threat engagement needs, and hones skills like height over bore awareness, mechanical offset, and rapid target transitions.

Can the Triple Dipper drill be modified for different training goals?

Yes, the drill can be modified by incorporating an unknown round count to practice reloads or by adding a third target to create a longer course of fire. Adding cardio elements like sprints before running the drill also increases its difficulty.
