Triple Trouble Rifle Transitions: How Fast Can You Swing Your Rifle?

[Talyn]

Swinging a rifle to transition from one target to the next is easier said than done. Most shooters don’t practice transitions with a rifle on paper to see where their shots are actually landing.

Too often, shooters practice with steel targets and get that instant feedback of a shot landing on target. But they have no actual idea where it went. Shooting at paper is valuable because the target will tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong and what you need to improve on.

The Drill​

Set up three paper targets 10-15 yards away from you and about 2-3 yards apart. Of course, this depends on what width you have available at your range.

The goal is to transition as fast as possible. Make accurate shots within your zone as soon as your sights come across the area, move to the next target, and repeat the process.

Used to be pretty quick at swinging around to different shooting lanes hunting deer on my deer stand. but since it's been three years since i hunted doubt i could hit anything now.

Lately, like the last year or so, the majority of my training exercises has been timed transition drills. Sidearm, carbine, shotgun. Multiple targets. Targets being a piece of paper with a 2-3” circle drawn on them.
