"The 50-round Dot Torture drill is a great test of general marksmanship. It can prove encouraging or humbling for anyone, depending on the distance chosen for firing. It’s a drill I use to re-focus after I’ve been away from the range for a while, as it guides you through all the basics, multiple times, and gives clear feedback about where any deficits lie."

Here's the downloadable target:

The drill requires ten two-inch circles, or “dots,” numbered in succession. From a minimum of three yards, or five to seven if you’re confident in the basics, fire according to this sequence:

•Dot 1 – Draw and fire one string of five rounds. One hole is the goal.
•Dot 2 – Draw and fire one shot, then holster. Repeat four times on Dot 2.
•Dots 3 and 4 – Draw and fire one shot on Dot 3, then one shot on Dot 4, holster, and repeat three times.
•Dot 5 – Draw and five rounds, strong hand only.
•Dots 6 & 7 – Draw and fire two shots on Dot 6, then two on Dot 7, holster, and repeat four times.
•Dot 8 – From ready or retention position, fire five shots, weak hand only.
•Dots 9 & 10 – Draw and fire one shot on Dot 9, speed reload, fire one shot on Dot 10, holster and repeat three times.

thanks so much for posting this. I printed some of these out last Friday and brought them to my club. It was a lot of fun and great practice.

Let alone two-inch dots? I don't think I'll be hitting very many of those.
