The Last Sunday of the Year
Dry-Fire · At Home
Twenty easy reps of your weakest skill. Then give the gun a full cleaning, look at the springs and magazines, and replace anything that is worn. Read your log from the first entry to the last one.
Live-Fire · At the Range
Optional twenty rounds of slow fire on the squares. Dry practice alone is a complete day.
Service Pistol
Rotate your duty ammunition if it has been in the gun all year.
Concealed Carry
Rotate your carry ammunition. Rounds that have been chambered over and over should be replaced.
Carbine
Clean the bolt, check the gas rings, and replace the optic battery.
No standards today. A clean gun and a read log is the whole job.
The record of what you did this year is more accurate than your memory of it.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
Read the log. You did more work than you remember.
Look for the pattern across the whole year, not only the last week.
Fresh ammunition and a clean gun is a promise kept to the people who rely on you.
Replace springs and ammunition on a schedule, and set that schedule today.
Light by design. Consistency beats heroics.
- 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

- 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.
