In this drill breakdown, John walks through the “Yemen Drill” — a target transition exercise designed to sharpen one of the most overlooked shooting fundamentals: shoot, look, shoot. The goal isn’t just moving fast between targets… it’s training your eyes to lead the gun so every shot lands exactly where it needs to.
Originally developed while working with the UAE, this drill forces you to balance speed, accuracy, and visual discipline under pressure. The standard is simple: 5 yards, 5-inch circle, 5 seconds — but hitting that consistently is a different story.
If your target transitions feel sloppy, delayed, or inconsistent, this is the kind of work that cleans it up.
