Mount Discipline
Dry-Fire · At Home
20 reps low-ready to a verified sight picture on the inner box. The gun stops crisp — no fishing, no bounce. 10 more from compressed ready.
Live-Fire · At the Range
10 strings: low ready, 2 rds, inner box, 7 yd. The first sight picture you accept is the one you fire on.
Service Pistol
From duty ready positions you actually use on shift.
Concealed Carry
Compressed-ready matters most at carry distances. Make it crisp.
Carbine
This is the carbine's bread: low ready to mounted, 25 yd, cheek weld identical every rep.
AUX (when ready): ready-up to first hit under 1.2s.
Stress narrows vision. Build the habit of widening it on purpose: scan after every string.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
Crisp stop, then press. Braking is the skill, not the launch.
Accept the first honest picture — don't window-shop sight pictures.
Ready positions are how you stand guard without pointing a gun at the world.
Identical mount every rep. Repeatability is accuracy's landlord.
Layer: ready-up to a CALLED square instead of center.
- 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.”
The Four Universal Safety Rules
