Train Your Brain To See

The Extend-Touch-Press Drill pairs motor actions with what the shooter is looking at. Scientists call this perception-action coupling. The drill also utilizes the quiet-eye gaze, where the person looks fixedly at one point, i.e. the target.

Multiple Target Engagement is an opportunity to discipline our vision and attention. How we manage our vision and attention has a direct correlation with how well we make decisions, and that impacts our actions and ability to apply skills and ultimately defend ourselves.
