No Warmup, No Excuses
Dry-Fire · At Home
ZERO warmup. The first 5 presses of your day, filmed on your phone, judged honestly against last month's clip.
Live-Fire · At the Range
No sighters: walk to the line cold, 10 rds at 10 yd on the Bull, scored. Then 10 more warm to compare. Your COLD score is your real score.
Service Pistol
First string in full gear, straight from the car if rules allow.
Concealed Carry
Straight from the rig you actually wore in. The truest test in the program.
Carbine
One cold shot at 50 yd from your most stable improvised position. That single round is the data.
AUX (when ready): cold score within 10% of warm score.
Where does your family gather if something goes wrong at 2 a.m.? If you don't know, that's tonight's training.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
No warmup means no momentum to hide behind. Perfect.
Cold is clean data — unrehearsed and honest. Treasure it.
The day you need this will not schedule a warmup.
Two numbers now exist: cold and warm. The gap is the work remaining.
Layer: cold string from concealment/ready, not just slow fire.
- 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
