Squares, Smaller Margins
Dry-Fire · At Home
Verified clear, no ammo in the room. 20 presses across the 1-inch squares — the front sight (or dot) never leaves the square. A wobble out = the rep doesn't count.
Live-Fire · At the Range
25 rds at 5 yd: 5 squares, 5 rds each, every hit inside its square. Miss one and that square gets 2 slow makeup rounds. No clock today.
Service Pistol
Most sight radius, tightest standard — own it.
Concealed Carry
Short slide punishes a lazy front-sight focus. Stare harder.
Carbine
Push back to 50 yd if available; the squares become your honesty check.
AUX (when ready): all 25 inside the squares in under 90 seconds total.
Skill fades politely — it never announces it's leaving. Daily reps are the rent.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
There is no timer today. There is only the standard.
Decide the press, then don't reopen the decision mid-press.
Boring reps are the ones that hold up on the worst day. Protect them.
Same index, every rep, no renegotiating. Let it be a system.
Layer: shrink to 3 rds per square, add square 6–9.
- 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.”
