    OBJECTIVE

    Fire a string of 10 single shots. Single-shot time limit: 1 minute. Each shot time is added to the cumulative time (Total Time). Each non-perfect shot adds time-down penalties to the Final Time. Range: 7 yards (see Notes [1]).

    GOAL

    Achieve a Final Time under 20 seconds. Precision under timing stress.

    ‍ ‍

    WHAT YOU NEED

    LASERHIT B-27 target (See Notes [2]) and a LASERHIT Training Kit.

    Alternatively, print a free B-27 target, use your own laser cartridge or laser training device, and mount a smartphone on a tripod.

    NOTES

    [1] Range refers to the real-world distance defined in the drill objective. Firing Range is the actual indoor distance and is calculated automatically based on target scale before training begins.

    [2] The LASERHIT B-27 target at a 1:5 scale is recommended; other supported LASERHIT B-27 and 25M variants may also be used.

    [3] To participate in Competition Mode and appear on the Leaderboard, tap the Worldwide or Friends icon in the right Leaderboard panel on the Firing Range Setup screen. Signing in to Apple Game Center is required.

    Laser Zeroing (Recommended)

    For best accuracy, perform Laser Zeroing for each drill. At the Cease Fire state, tap the crosshair icon in the top panel. Align the crosshair with your point of aim and follow the on-screen prompts to register three zeroing shots. Once confirmed, LASERHIT applies this adjustment to all hits in the drill. Re-zero whenever you change firearms, remove the laser cartridge, or adjust your setup.

    DRILL DETAILS

    This drill is inspired by the IDPA time-plus scoring model, where final time is affected by both execution speed and hit placement. Each shot is scored individually, and additional time is added when shots land outside the highest scoring zone. Less accurate hits add more time to the final result, rewarding shooters who maintain precision under time pressure.

DRILL COMPETITIVE MODE

Competitive Mode via Apple Game Center allows comparison of performance worldwide or with friends. When Competitive Mode is enabled, results appear immediately on the Leaderboard, while detailed stage and overall performance are displayed separately on the Performance Dashboard using multiple graphs and charts. This data provides advanced insight into training performance and differs from the drill’s simplified statistics.

 

DRILL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

LASERHIT displays each shot’s score and time, then calculates the Final Time per stage.

    • Final Time - Total time plus time-down penalties

    • 15.81 - Most recent final time (seconds)

    • 100% - Progress toward the goal based on the latest result

    • Bars - Each bar represents one completed stage

    • Grey bar - Goal not met

    • Blue bar - Goal met

    • Goal - Keep Final Time under 20 seconds

    • Final Time - Most recent result and change from the previous stage

    • Red number - Indicates regression from the previous stage

    • Green number - Indicates improvement from the previous stage

    • Success - Indicates whether the goal was met in the most recent stage

    • Success Rate - Percentage of stages in which the goal has been met

    • Down Time - Time elapsed since the last stage was completed.
