    This is a great marksmanship drill that came from David Blinder at personaldefensetraining.com.

    Start at 3 yards. You have to get all 50 hits to pass. Once you can shoot the whole drill without a single miss, either increase the distance or add time pressure. For instance, try to finish the entire drill in under 5 minutes while maintaining 100% accuracy.

    • Dot 1 – Draw and fire one string of 5 rounds for best group. One hole if possible, total 5 rounds.

    • Dots 3 & 4 – Draw and fire 1 shot on #3, then 1 shot on #4, holster and repeat X3, total 8 rounds.
    • Dot 5 – Draw and fire string of 5 rounds, strong hand only, total 5 rounds.
    • Dots 6 & 7 – Draw and fire 2 shots on #6, then 2 on #7, holster, repeat X4, total 16 rounds.

    There is also a dedicated TDA (Traditional Double Action, aka “DA/SA”) version created by Sean Leffler:

    Do I get extra points (hits) if I fire while drawing and hit my foot... :rootintootin:

    Your gettin me thinkin' about shootin' some. Wish I could find a decent local dealer for .22 mag and .22 LR. What's a brick of LR go for, if you can find em?

    I don't think you get extra points for "Fifing." I think they were $20 when I found them that one time... Haven't found any since.
