Wizard Drill

Overview

The Wizard Drill tests accuracy and transitions across multiple distances. With 5 targets spread from 3 to 20 yards, it forces you to shift between close-range speed and mid-range precision within a single run.

Setup

  • Targets: 5 USPSA cardboard targets at staggered distances — 3, 5, 7, 10, and 20 yards
  • Round count: 10 rounds (2 per target)
  • Start position: Gun holstered, hands at sides

Course of Fire

  1. On the buzzer, draw and engage each of the 5 targets with 2 rounds each.
  2. You may engage targets in any order, but most shooters work near to far or far to near.

Scoring

Scored by Hit Factor: total points divided by total time. A-zone = 5 points, C-zone = 3, D-zone = 1, miss = 0. Maximum raw score is 50 points (assuming a 5-point scoring system with max 10 per target). A competitive hit factor depends on the exact target arrangement — track your score over time to measure improvement.
