Transition Confirmation Drill

Published on July 24, 2025
Duration: 7:47

This drill, demonstrated by Hwansik Kim, focuses on improving transition times and accuracy across three confirmation levels. Confirmation One emphasizes predictive shooting with fast splits (0.2s), Confirmation Two focuses on reaction time (0.25-0.30s), and Confirmation Three involves corrective shooting for precision (0.45-0.55s). The drill highlights the importance of vision focus for achieving tight groups and consistent performance.

Quick Summary

The Transition Confirmation Drill enhances firearm transition speed and accuracy across three levels: predictive (0.2s splits), reactive (0.25-0.30s splits), and corrective (0.45-0.55s splits). Target accuracy goals are 3-inch, 2-inch, and 1-inch groups respectively. Maintaining sharp vision focus on a small target spot is crucial to avoid errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Transition Confirmation Drill?

The Transition Confirmation Drill is a firearms training exercise designed to improve a shooter's ability to transition between targets accurately and efficiently. It involves shooting at different confirmation levels (predictive, reactive, corrective) to measure and enhance split times and group sizes.

How do the three confirmation levels differ in the drill?

Confirmation One is predictive shooting (fast splits, 0.2s), Confirmation Two is reactive shooting (reacting to color, 0.25-0.30s splits), and Confirmation Three is corrective shooting (fixing sight alignment, 0.45-0.55s splits). Each level tests different aspects of marksmanship.

What are the target accuracy goals for the Transition Confirmation Drill?

The general accuracy goal is the inverse of the confirmation level. For Confirmation One, aim for 3-inch groups. For Confirmation Two, aim for 2-inch groups. For Confirmation Three, aim for 1-inch groups.

What is the most common mistake in the Transition Confirmation Drill?

The most common mistake is poor vision focus, where the shooter sees a blur instead of a distinct, 'molecule-sized' spot on the target. This significantly degrades accuracy and must be actively corrected by focusing harder.
