Best way to use a 50 rnd box of ammo (dot torture)

[sheep dog]

So ya got 1 50 rnd box of ammo...what do ya do with it to make the most of your range time? I really enjoy this drill among other ones. This will serve ya much better than just "punching paper" at the range. Anyone on odt do this regularly or have tried it and liked it? It will show ya what ya need to work on and gives more purpose to your range time.

Overall a good set of practice drills. I would add dryfire practice also

Agree, dry fire is one of the most effective and least utilized techniques for performance improvement, especially among revolver shooters.

I LOVE dry fire training. I put in 3 hrs a week into it (i make it fun and work specific drills). I have specific training methods i do 3 days a week ( monday wednesday and friday) that merge fitness and firearms. Snap caps have a place for some drills but my dry fire mag is great. Right now, they are only available for glock and m&p pistols. I started a thread on this a while back...

I'm going to print some off and do this. Looks like a good exercise.

Its great and actually a lot of fun. I recommend at least once every range trip. Another good one for warm ups at range are the 5x5x5 drill. Draw a 5 inch circle, shoot it 5 times at 5 yards in 5 seconds or less.

It can be a rewarding or humbling drill as it can be harder than it looks but works all the fundamentals of shooting.
