Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important factor for fast target transitions?

The most crucial element for fast target transitions is leading with your eyes. As you fire the last shot on the first target, your eyes should immediately snap to a specific point on the next target, guiding the firearm naturally.

How should the body move during target transitions?

Instead of relying on upper body rotation, use your legs and hips to drive the firearm between targets. This lower body engagement provides more power, control, and stability, especially for wider transitions.

What firearm is featured in this training video?

The video prominently features the GLOCK 34 Gen5 MOS, a popular model for competition shooting, often equipped with a red dot optic for enhanced target acquisition.

What common mistake should shooters avoid during transitions?

A common mistake to avoid is moving like a 'turret' using only the upper body. This can lead to overswinging and a loss of control, making transitions less efficient and accurate.
