Try this at 100 yards - 21 Dot Drill

[@rdsii64]

I'm going to start this dot drill. The catch is I'm going to start out different. First, I going to put one round on every dot without reference to time. From the standing I will build a perfect prone position and break a perfect shot at each dot. Once I can break/build my position and break a perfect shot 21 consecutive times, I will SLOWLY introduce time constraints as prescribed. My goal is to progressively get fast enough to complete the dot drill CORRECTLY. Once I have mastered the 100 yard 21 dot drill, (which will be a long time from now) I will start shooting 200 yard 21 dot drills. The local range only goes to 200 yards. Are there any other training suggestions for those of us who only have 100 yards ( 200 if we're lucky) to work with?

[@velayo_0317]

Great way to start! Thanks for sharing!

[@flakey7832]

smaller dots? I'm no expert, but raise the difficulty if the precision of the gun allows it

[@jargero8203]

Just throw a 12-24x50 scope on and it's a breeze

[@soonerfrac4611]

It’s been a long time (was on our SRT way back in ‘02) and I’m sure it’s changed significantly, plus my info is only second hand, but the Army MP SRT Phase two DMR course did some similar 1” & .5” dot work at 100m. It’s a joint school house and had a pretty high failure rate. I believe that they have started shooting further but back then and as far as ‘07 no shots were beyond 100m. The average LEO sniper shot is better measured in feet than yards.

@@velayo_0317where do we find the target and course of fire to go along with it?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Studio looks amazing, congratulations Phil!

[@velayo_0317]

Thank you Pieter!!

[@straightjacketarmory]

Think we will be recommending this to our customers. Good stuff you’re doing here phill. We have been recommending your classes to customers. Keep up the good work

[@TRUEBOREPRECISION]

Yo Phil. I really appreciate your skill set and you sharing this with us. I’ve been out of the precision rifle league for a couple of years and watching these vids has really helped me build my fundamentals. So thank you very much

[@caseysmith8831]

Fantastic! I can’t wait to use my 22 trainer on this drill. Thanks for putting this out!!

[@johno1126]

I took a handgun class several years ago with the late Todd L Green. He had a similar drill called "Dot Torture" that tested more than just trigger pull and sight picture/sight alignment. I just discovered your site-I like it, pure information. I was an airwinger (70-74), but every other prior service Marine I meet was a Scout/Sniper. Semper Fi.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Good stuff as usual Phil. 🤙

[@geraldgonzalez5360]

Did this drill 2 weeks ago it was super fun and challenging. Thank you.

[@charlesludwig9173]

Shoot the NRA MR-31 target at 100 yards, prone sling supported position, 20 shot/20 minute drill. The goal is to develop marksmanship to produce 200 point perfect scores with a high number of X-Ring hits. To reach this goal will require the shooter to come to an understanding for everything important to good shooting, except for wind reading skill development which actually requires long distance shooting practice to understand. At any rate, once the shooter realizes that sensitivity for having adjusted natural point of aim perfectly from shot to shot is key to best shooting then the shooter will be well poised to recognize when wind is the actual cause of error at long range. This is my advice from my experience with long range shooting leading to me earning the NRA American High Power Rifleman Award in Long-Range and US Distinguished Rifleman Badge.

[@redemptionhunting]

Yeh, I got a lot of work to do. My current focus is improving my speed. This is going to really help. Thanks!

[@frankwienckowski9150]

Very impressive. Not there yet. Looking forward to getting there. Be good or be good @ it! Thank you for that awesome drill.

[@nyrangeguy3194]

Just tried this was a 16 inch AR and 1-6 razor hd gen 2 e. Very difficult but I love the drill.

[@oneskypuppy]

The cheek riser trick is huge! Our MD is always adding this to our .22 matches and fighting eye relief is ALWAYS an issue! Can't wait to try this!!!

[@mikeford963]

I had to put high rings on my M77, so I built a cheek riser out of leather.

[@oneskypuppy]

@@mikeford963 my MDT XRS chassis has an adjustable cheek riser but i never thought about lowering it and getting it the heck out of the way when shooting with support side...seems like eye relief never works exactly the same from 'good' side to 'weak' side!

[@mikeford963]

@@oneskypuppy OH, I didn't notice shooting from the support side, my bad.

[@cornerstonearchery5123]

Enjoyed the video, will shrink down and run at 50 with the 22lr trainer.

[@goosecouple]

Nice job on the mag change.

[@glock31]

Dot Drills are brutal! I always have a side of humble pie on the side. Excellent video! (audio's a bit low)

[@patrickoberem9109]

Very cool drill. Tried it last weekend with my .22. ( Cheaper ) I found it great for managing adrenaline and getting used to shooting in a slightly stressful situation, aka time.

[@jargero8203]

I used to compete .22 Rimfire @ 200 yards as a kid... Mini-Palma class if I recall correctly? Anyway, yes this is a great exercise with iron sights and/or optic.... with or without the time constraints

[@abc123moomy]

Really like this type of video. This is definitely a drill I’m gonna look at starting.

[@rarelyaccurate6252]

Love the drill.

[@geomardomingo1672]

I remember meeting you a long ass time ago while I was working at a restaurant. Cool to see your channel. I’ll try this drill on the next range trip. 🤙🏾

[@chasef7134]

More drills like this would be great! Definitely going to work this into my practice routine as a first year prs shooter

[@predragmucic9894]

More sniper drills like this, please!

[@Douglas.N.]

Amazing!

[@johnc1642]

More Drills! Baby!! Drills!!😃

[@slowsqueeze]

Nice drill!

[@seanoneil277]

Really nice, Phil, thank you. Reminds me of a higher-difficulty version of the Appleseed AQT, but with bipod not sling. I'm going to run this next rifle day, thanks. I'm guessing my Atlas bipod's slower deployment will push me past the times on that bottom line, but I'm interested in how slow I'll be.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Damn fine shooting!

[@JamesDenison-j6y]

I've done something similar for a long time. I finish my target by trying to shoot the thumb tacks out of the corners

[@Bladedancer13]

Love this drill. Gained a subscriber :D

[@deathspawn54]

Why is it a benefit to drop the cheek pad for the off hand shoot

[@pappagatoTx]

Awesome video man!!!

[@Jeremystaley]

Thanks for the video!! What shot timer are you using??

[@Nixqy]

from the sound of it, it sounds like a PACT

[@mkivbb]

Hey Phil, do you have a video tutorial of the best/easiest way to level your scope? I've tried many different methods over the years and never seem to be happy with it. Curious to know how you do it. Thanks!

[@damienstrowger2203]

I’m in the gas gun world right now and just built a 6ARC AR. How should I adjust the time constraints to represent running a semi auto instead of a bolt gun?

[@threeoeightwadcutter2820]

Great! Thanks for sharing

[@pjotrskuksjonoks5109]

Thank you for amazing video!!!🎉 Alway thinking how best way way training on 100m. Any chance if I can get this target in PDF please?

[@imjustadude]

What is that camera on top of the scope?? Pretty cool. Nice drill

[@daryenmirabal2656]

Just trying to get in to this world. If i run this drill with a 22lr at 100yrd is that realistic and feasible??

[@SgtDvldawg]

I Dig this drill Brother! Thanks for sharing. I think I will be starting out like @rdsii64. I like that approach! Keep up the Awesome work!

[@Chevygang23LT]

How can I get the dot drill downloaded to print out?

[@zidensonfit7485]

Do you still use your tikka or does it just not go head to head with your other rifles. Looking to do a build just like you did soon.

[@rdsii64]

A Tikka action will do you just fine. Start with a factory T3 varmint and shoot it until the factory barrel is toast. By then you will have learned enough to know what you need and why. While quality equipment matters, quality practice is way more important than what action you choose.

[@Strutingeagle]

With all the shooting benches there it seems odd to squat in the dirt ifn ya don't got to.

[@daikinii7945]

Possible to do this on a barrier/ladder at standing or kneeling or high kneeling? Would times be different?

[@michaelmcgovern4692]

How do we get the target?

[@ichristipher]

what scope and article is that you are using?

[@amandamunn7803]

Awwww snap!!! My turn next!

[@jcsovidaop49]

How would you do a variation of this drill with larger dots (2-3") and positional?

[@long-range-eliminator]

Where can i get these targets at ??

[@seanrodriguez2384]

What bag are you using?

[@claysonbonds2422]

What bipod are you running?

[@jordanson66]

with all the fluff on the internet, this is the meat and potatoes of shooting, even if you are not a sniper , This is the most hunting distance at least in the eastern us, so this is fantastic accuracy to achieve

[@andrew13651]

your rifle weight in this vid?

[@benjaminjohnson4568]

Trying to share this video with friends and they can’t get past the reticle. What reticle is that?

[@damercerterker8176]

Looks like the tremor 3 reticle

[@jaymiller393]

Audio is quiet….. or is it just me?!

[@noahclark3821]

Slow hit is better than a fast miss.

[@jackson4861]

Such a huge bulls eye ?

[@travis-jr5xe]

Digging out the spots your bipod rests isn’t a realistic scenario. The drill could be one step back, one step to the right…etc.

[@velayo_0317]

I actually dug out spots for demonstration purposes so that I could keep the camera in focus, since I was running a manual focus on the cameras. Thanks tho.

[@richhauxwell7848]

I thoughts this was a hand gun challenge, oops

[@phillippearce9680]

👍

[@kerryappleton8067]

First thing i'ma going to do is go out and buy a 3 thousand dollar rile and a 25 hundred dollar scope. Instead of my off the rack rifle and my 3 hundred dollar Nikon scope.

[@Puggernaught24]

You can just get a different barrel under 500$ and it’s a significant upgrade

[@pickin4you]

My cousins and I shoot push pins at 100 yards. Those dots you have are way too easy. Many of us better shoot would be shooting those Quarter sized dots with a .22lr. Not centerfire.

[@AudioGardenSlave123]

No.
