Who else loves the Dot Torture drill?

[breakingcontact]

And by love, I mean, think you are doing great, then throw 1 shot then lose focus!

Really though, it is a great drill. Lots of folks say "oh that is easy", until they try it.

Yep, great drill indeed

That looks like a great drill.

Target is 8.5" x 11" or 11" x 17"? Either way, neat drill. Especially if you add a time limit.

I have never tried it.

I prefer FAST drill.

 

[nakinate]

I absolutely love it. I feel it's the best use of one box of ammo at the range.

I find this drill quite easy, almost boring actually. I just can't seem to miss. I guess I need to find something much harder to drill with.

I print mine so it fits on a 4x8 piece of plywood. See photo below:

At what distance and time limit are you finding it quite easy?

If it's easy for you, then you are supposed to either increase the distance or decrease the par time or both. Would it still be easy at 50 yards under 5 minutes total time?

Judging from his photo, I think you missed his sarcasm.

If that's 4'x8', you're shooting some very large bullets.

I like the dot torture. I work it in every few range trips.

Ah, if that is the case, I absolutely did miss it.

 

[bwframe]

I need more work on this, for sure.

FAST is great too. Lots of shifting gears there.

Sorry.. my attempt at some subtle humor :>)...


This does look like a great drill. I now have a range where I can practice this, and will be going real slow at first. Does anyone know what size this target is? I am sure it is not 4x8.

Thanks,

Ron

Lucky Gunner has a PDF target you can print off.

They are 2" dots on 8.5x11" paper.

Each dot, or group of two dots, has an assignment.

1. Draw and fire 5 shots.
2. Draw and fire 1 shot (5x)
3, 4. Draw and fire one shot on 3 and one shot on 4. (4x)
5. Draw and fire 5 shots SHO.
6,7. Draw and fire 2 shots on 3 then 2 shots on 4 (4x).
8. Fire 5 shots WHO.
9, 10. Starting with an empty mag snd one in the chamber, draw and fire one shot on 9, slide-lock reload and fire one shot on 10. (3x). [Note: Im not sure everyone starts empty mag or from the holster. That's just how I've been doing it.]

Should be 50 rounds of practice that includes SHO, WHO, drawing, transitions, multiples on the same target, and reloads. All the basics in a box of ammo.

Also make sure you print the right target (or use the right instructions) for your gun.

I'm a big fan of the drill. I modified it to shoot from low ready when I have to shoot at an indoor range.
