What we're doing today is the Movement Wizard. My set-up is one target with two hit circles and shooting positions at 10 yards, 7 yards, 5 yards, and 3 yards.

You start at ten yards with a draw, firing two rounds with a two-hand grip. 

Move forward to seven yards for one shot using both hands.

Then to five yards for one shot strong hand only. 

Then, move forward again to three yards for one final shot, strong hand only.  

This drill is very important, and I use it in my training sessions all the time. It incorporates a draw, movement, freestyle shooting, and strong hand shooting. 

The target we're using has two impact zones. The larger circle is 8 inches for the lower impact zone. That's a generous target you will only use at the 10-yard line.

As you move forward, transition to shooting the upper impact zone which is a 4-inch circle. It’s much smaller, so you must be precise on your shots. 

It’s important to keep the gun high as I move to the next position. Once I’m there, it's just a matter of pressing the gun out and pulling the trigger. This is faster and gives me much more accurate shots at every shooting position. This is extremely important when you're down to last two shooting positions where you press out strong hand only and trigger the shots.

You should strive to shoot this drill in around ten seconds. If you can get under ten seconds, you're very proficient with your firearm. I like shooting this drill with my carry gun. It gives me a good idea of how proficient I am with the gun that I might have to use to defend myself. 

As you can see, I have two rounds that are outside my impact zone. That's because I started to push the speed on the drill. I normally run this drill in around 7.70 or 7.80 seconds.

I was trying to dip down into the sixes, and two shots slipped outside the zone. That tells me I need to slow down a little bit, read my sights, and make good solid hits.

Next time I see you at the range, let me know how you did with your carry gear in the movement wizard.
