This drill, the 'One Shot Exit Drill,' focuses on precise single shots followed by immediate movement to a new position. It emphasizes efficient target acquisition, recoil management, and visual transition. The instructor highlights common mistakes like focusing on recoil instead of the bullet's exit and tensing up during movement, advocating for relaxed shoulders and leg-driven stops. The drill progresses from one shot to two shots for application in multiple-shot scenarios.

Quick Summary

The One Shot Exit Drill involves setting up a target at 15 yards with movement positions three yards apart. From a high-ready stance, fire one shot, then immediately move to the next position, acquiring a sight picture. Key techniques include snapping vision to the next target post-shot and maintaining relaxed shoulders. Common errors involve fixating on recoil and tensing up during movement.
