    OBJECTIVE

    Fire a string of 10 single shots. Single-shot time limit: 1 minute. Each shot score is added to the total score, and each shot time is added to the cumulative time. Range: 7 yards (see Notes [1]).

    ‍ ‍

    GOAL

    Achieve a Hit Factor over 5. Balanced speed and accuracy.

    ‍ ‍

    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 trains balanced speed and accuracy inspired by USPSA and IPSC scoring models. Practical shooting uses Hit Factor scoring, which reflects points earned per second and rewards shooters who combine fast execution with accurate hits. Hit Factor is calculated by dividing the total stage score by the accumulated time of all shots, reinforcing control of both accuracy and pace.

    To put this into practical terms, a Hit Factor of 5 represents consistently delivering accurate hits while managing shot execution time across the entire string. Success requires maintaining both speed and accuracy shot after shot, rather than relying on isolated fast or accurate attempts.

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 the score and time for each shot and calculates the Hit Factor per stage.

    • Hit Factor - Total score divided by total time

    • 5.38 - Most recent Hit Factor

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

    • Bars - Each bar represents one completed stage

    • Grey bar - Goal not met

    • Red bar - Goal met

    • Goal - Hit Factor over 5

    • Hit Factor - 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
