THE ACRONYM FOR WEAPON MASTERY

One of the easiest ways to master complex procedures is through well-crafted acronyms—the military has relied on this for generations. From JJDIDTIEBUCKLE leadership traits to BAMCIS planning in USMC boot camp, acronyms simplify and embed critical steps.

Shooting is simple in concept but demands absolute stillness, coordination, and discipline. For shooters who already understand the fundamentals and want a concise, repeatable process that delivers both speed and precision at any range—from 7 yards to 700 yards—I developed the TTPS acronym:

• Target/Threat

• Trigger Slack

• Prosecute

• Scan

This TTP distills years of training and combat experience into a straightforward checklist that keeps you on target, minimizes misses, and builds consistency whether running a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Start slow, verbalize each step, aim small, and trust the process through deliberate dry fire. TTPS becomes your reliable shooting partner on the range and beyond.
