DISCLAIMER: Your own targets are supported. See Notes [3] for requirements.
OBJECTIVE
Use a crosshair overlay on the target center mass. Fire three shots as close to the crosshair center as possible. Time limit: 3 minutes. Range: 25 yards (see Notes [1]).
GOAL
Achieve a Accuracy under 3 inches. Accuracy before speed.
WHAT YOU NEED
LASERHIT B3 target (scaled) and a LASERHIT Training Kit.
Alternatively, print a free B3 target, use your own laser cartridge or laser training device, and mount a smartphone on a tripod.
Use your AR-15, shotgun, or other compatible firearm.
No rifle scope is required. You may use a red dot, EOTech, LPVO, or iron sights.
NOTES
[1] Firing Distance is the actual indoor distance. Simulated Distance calculated automatically based on target scale before training begins.
[2] The LASERHIT B3 target at a 1:10 scale is recommended; other genuine LASERHIT targets may also be used. You can purchase the Handgun Drills set at
www.laserhit.com/products/handgun-drills-target-set
[3] When using your own targets, use a solid, dark target surface for best detection. A LASERHIT reload mark is needed and can be downloaded for free from the LaserHIT website (laserhit.com/targets). Set the correct Target Scale during Firing Range setup before starting the drill.
DRILL DETAILS
This drill builds practical rifle accuracy by evaluating deviation from the intended point of aim rather than group size. During Express Setup (Step 2), the shooter must manually position the crosshairs precisely at the intended aim point on the target to establish a correct reference. Accurate rifle shooting depends on consistent alignment between point of aim and point of impact, supported by fundamentals such as sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, and stability. Measuring windage (left/right) and elevation (up/down) relative to the crosshair center exposes even subtle inconsistencies in technique and helps diagnose errors early. The short three-shot string provides efficient, repeatable feedback, allowing focused refinement of precision and consistency without unnecessary time or ammunition expenditure. This type of offset-based evaluation is widely used in rifle marksmanship training to reinforce disciplined fundamentals and exact shot placement.
