Dot Grid: Ten Small Targets
Dry-Fire · At Home
Verified clear, no ammo in the room. 20 presses, walking the ten dots in order — the front sight (or dot) settles on a dot before the press breaks. Any press that lands between dots doesn't count.
Live-Fire · At the Range
20 rds at 5 yd: two rounds per dot, ten dots, top-left to bottom-right. No clock. One ragged hole per dot is the quiet goal; called misses earn one slow makeup round.
Service Pistol
Full sight radius and a clean trigger — no excuse for a wandering shot today.
Concealed Carry
Smaller gun, smaller margin. Slow down and earn each dot.
Carbine
Same drill at 25 yd; the dots shrink your group honesty down to nothing.
AUX (when ready): all 20 inside the dots, two per circle, no makeups.
Precision is patience with a trigger. Let the shot surprise you.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
Ten targets, ten decisions. Don't rush the next dot before this one is done.
Watch the sight lift and return. The dot tells you the truth about your grip.
The shot you place exactly is the one that protects without collateral. That's why precision matters.
Same order every time, top-left to bottom-right. Build the pattern, then trust it.
Foundational precision day — accuracy before speed, the first layer under everything.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded — always, no matter what you think you know.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
- Be sure of your target — and everything beyond it.
Dry-fire: no ammunition in the room. Verify the firearm is clear — twice. Use a safe backstop. When you finish, say it out loud: “Dry fire is over.”
