The Trifecta Drill is a challenging marksmanship exercise designed to test accuracy and proficiency under pressure. It requires three clean hits on each of three targets at varying distances (10, 15, 20 yards), with each target engaged under a different condition: two hands, strong hand only, and support hand only. The drill emphasizes controlled breathing, visualization, and progressive speed increases, while also highlighting the importance of training weaknesses, particularly with support-hand shooting and red dot sight acquisition.

This drill focuses on efficient transitions between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while emphasizing the proper use of magnification adjustment on a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO). The instructor highlights the importance of working the magnification control during the prone transition and engaging targets from various angles, including over-the-shoulder shots.

This video details a quick and easy rifle to pistol transition drill designed to improve shooter proficiency. It requires 25 rounds each of rifle and pistol ammunition, and a 25-yard range.

This video emphasizes a principle-based approach to firearms training, advocating for consistent application of core shooting principles regardless of the firearm platform or ammunition used. The instructor, Joel Park, details how focusing on fundamental techniques like consistent grip, controlled trigger press, and allowing natural recoil can lead to effective shooting even when switching between different types of guns, such as suppressed and unsuppressed rifles or .40 caliber and 9mm pistols. The core message is to train with principles, not just specific equipment or 'hard mode' scenarios.
