Day 3: Multiple Target Engagements — When One Isn't Enough

Most training stops at single-target accuracy. That's a problem — because real defensive scenarios rarely involve standing still and shooting one threat at a comfortable pace.

This module covers what many courses skip entirely: how to transition between multiple targets quickly and accurately. While our stance training (Day 1) isn't required, we'll build transitions directly on that foundation — so if you've trained Days 1 and 2 with us, you'll get maximum value from what we're teaching here.

The Reality of Multiple Threats

In a defensive situation, you may need to fully engage one target before transitioning — prioritizing the biggest immediate threat and confirming it's no longer a danger. But when multiple close threats demand equal attention, you may not have time to ensure each is fully incapacitated. In that case, some lead in each threat is better than no lead if they're equal priorities.

This module focuses on the mechanics of fast, accurate transitions — the technical skills that let you move between targets without falling apart. You'll learn how to use your stance and natural point of aim to drive the gun efficiently, how to manage visual focus as targets shift, and how to maintain trigger control through rapid engagement sequences.

Duration: 3 hours | Outcome: Smooth, efficient transitions that keep you in the fight when one target isn't enough

What You'll Need:

Same gear as Days 1 and 2:

Eye and ear protection
Clothing appropriate for weather
Food and water if needed
Semi-automatic pistol with strong-side holster (kydex or reinforced leather)
At least two magazines and spare magazine carrier
200 rounds of ammo (increased volume for multiple-target drills)

Cold weather contingency: When the weather is cold, we will put up portable tents and use heaters and/or firepits to conduct training. We may postpone if conditions are unsafe. You're also welcome to reschedule to a warmer date.
