Custom Drills: One System, Your Rules
Shooting training is not universal. Different schools, disciplines, instructors, and competitive formats rely on different targets, distances, scoring models, and performance standards. That diversity reflects how shooting is actually practiced.
LaserHIT Custom Drills were created to support that reality. Not by replacing existing methods, but by providing a single, reliable measurement system capable of adapting to them. Custom Drills allow shooters and instructors to apply their own standards while maintaining consistent, defensible measurement across sessions.
The goal is not to standardize how you train. The goal is to ensure that whatever standard you choose can be measured accurately, repeatably, and without interpretation.
Custom Drills as a Foundation for Shooting Mastery
Shooting mastery develops in three distinct steps, always in the same order:
Precision. How tight and consistent your shot group is.
Accuracy. How precisely those shots land where intended.
Timing. How efficiently precision and accuracy are maintained under pressure.
LaserHIT Custom Drills are designed to support all three steps without forcing shooters into a fixed training model.
Custom Drills include two foundational drill types: Precision and Accuracy. Both allow full control over stage timing, from 10 seconds up to 5 minutes. This range is intentional. It allows shooters to establish a stable technical baseline first, then introduce stress gradually by reducing available time, increasing shot count, or decreasing hit hole size.
Timing is not treated as a shortcut to improvement. It becomes meaningful only after precision and accuracy are consistent and repeatable.
Rules That Preserve Honest Results
LaserHIT Custom Drills are built on the same measurement engine used across the platform. Results are evaluated using real world units, correct target scaling, controlled geometry, and consistent reference standards.
This is why a LASERHIT Reload Mark is required and why target scale must be known. Measurement without geometry is not measurement. It is estimation.
To preserve data integrity, drill configuration is locked once the first stage is completed. From that point forward, the rules do not change. This prevents artificial progress and ensures results remain comparable over time.
When training standards change, the Reset Drill option allows a clean restart with full awareness that previous statistics will be permanently deleted. This is a deliberate design choice. Progress only has meaning when conditions remain stable.
The Default Custom Drill
Every user starts with one default Custom Drill. It is always available, always visible at the top of the Custom Drills list, and does not require PRO Access.
The default drill can be edited and reused indefinitely using the Reset option.
Before starting the first stage, tap the Settings icon within the drill and customize:
• goal, group size or maximum offset
• indoor firing distance from 3 feet to 17.6 yards
• target scale from 1:1 to 1:100
• measurement units including inches, cm, SMOA, TMOA, MIL, MRAD
• hit hole size
• shots per stage
• stage timeout from 10 seconds to 5 minutes
• screen mirroring to a TV
Once a stage is completed, the drill configuration is locked. You may continue training and adjust only the goal value. To change any other parameter, the drill must be reset, which permanently deletes all prior statistics.
This design is intentional. Progress without consistency is an illusion.
Creating New Custom Drills with PRO Access
For shooters who require multiple training standards, LaserHIT PRO Access unlocks New Drill creation.
New Custom Precision or Custom Accuracy drills are independent clones of the default drill. Each one can be edited, named, deleted, and stored locally on your device.
With PRO Access, you may create an unlimited number of Custom Drills using different targets, scales, distances, measurement systems, stage structures, and timing values.
Regardless of configuration, all Custom Drills derive from one of two purposes: Precision or Accuracy.
When PRO Access expires, all recorded statistics remain stored on the device and are viewable. Full tracking resumes when PRO Access is renewed.
How Custom Drills Work in Practice
The workflow is simple and deliberate:
Place your target on a wall or whiteboard
Place the phone or tablet on a tripod facing the target
Insert the laser cartridge into the firearm
Open the LaserHIT app and select Custom Drills
Edit the Precision or Accuracy drill, or create a New Drill
Customize distance, scale, units, goals, and timing
Complete Express Setup and confirm target and Reload Mark visibility
Move to the firing line and begin training
From that point forward, the drill runs exactly as defined. LaserHIT tracks results and progress without interpretation.
Note. Use the zoom plus button to enlarge the target from edge to edge of the app screen. For 1:1 targets, it may be appropriate to frame only the center mass area to define your training standard.
Measurement Without Compromise
LaserHIT displays results in the real world units you selected, referenced to a 1:1 scale target. Every completed stage is added to a continuous progress record.
Over time, the system tracks:
• most recent result
• change from the previous stage
• success or failure relative to the goal
• overall success rate
• improvement or regression trends
• downtime between sessions
These metrics answer the only questions that matter.
Is performance improving.
Is it consistent.
Does it hold over time.
Before You Go
Targets can differ.
Distances can vary.
Scoring and measurement systems can diverge.
Custom Drills exist because experienced shooters eventually outgrow fixed templates. Progress demands standards that can evolve without compromising credibility. LaserHIT does not dictate how you train.
What does not change is the LaserHIT toolset that measures your training accurately, consistently, and without interpretation.
You set the standard.
LaserHIT makes sure the measurement is real.
