When I was training, we used 2, 3, and 4 steels at different distances.
First was firing from the low ready with one shot on the closest target using all the rounds in the magazine(ususlly8).
On the command, raise the gun, acquire target, fire, back to low ready. 8 shots.
Then reload and shoot the next longest steel, etc.

Evaluations after each shooter and each magazine.

Final drill was one shot on each target at each distance - timed - with only 4 rounds in the magazine
That gave us no foot movement, but a different sight picture for each target, with limited ammo.

The idea was to build muscle memory, sight acquisition and being smooth.
Holster drawing came only after everyone became consistent with their hits from the low ready.

I still do it for practice once in a while and enjoy the results very much.
Hope this helps.
