Let’s face it—shooting drills don’t have to be flashy to be effective. The Square Dance Drill proves you don’t need parkour-level athleticism to practice good fundamentals.

With structured and methodical practice shooting at distance becomes a phenomenal diagnostic exercise and improves all other up-close performances exponentially.

This month’s Drill of the Month is a practice exercise to enhance the shooter’s ability to transition smoothly and quickly between multiple targets while maintaining accuracy.
