Speed & Transition | Learning RED DOTS On Handguns ( Part 3)
About this video
Colion demonstrates and coaches a student through several timed shooting drills, including rapid-fire strings and multi-target transitions. He breaks down the fundamentals of grip, splits between shots, target transitions, and the “three-quarters rule” for movement efficiency. Colion emphasizes analyzing performance data to identify inefficiencies and explains how small technical adjustments—like ensuring proper grip before drawing and moving eyes before the gun—can improve speed and accuracy.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that consistent split times between shots indicate solid grip and control; inconsistencies reveal where technique breaks down under speed
- According to Colion, the “three-quarters” or “gas-brake” rule—accelerating during transitions then slowing as you approach the target—prevents overshooting and improves accuracy on multi-target drills
- Colion stresses that eyes must move to the next target before the gun follows; leading with the gun causes misses and inefficient transitions
