In the four-step draw, which step is associated with pressing to the threat?

• A. Step 1 / Align sights
• B. Step 2 / Acquire target
• C. Step 4 / Press to threat
• D. Step 3 / Identify target

Answer: (C)

The main idea is moving from threat recognition to actionable engagement. In a four-step draw, you first determine whether something is a threat, then bring the target into view, and align your sights for an accurate shot. The step that actually turns recognition and alignment into firing is pressing to the threat. This is the moment you apply trigger pressure to engage the identified threat, after you’ve confirmed it and set up the sights. The other steps are preparatory: identifying the target is the decision to engage or not, acquiring the target is getting it into your sight, and aligning sights is ensuring the aiming system is correct for a controlled shot. Pressing to the threat is the action that completes the sequence.
