Custom Precision Drill: Build Repeatable Shot Groups
Precision is not a byproduct of speed or scoring. It is the foundation everything else depends on.
The Custom Precision Drill exists for shooters who want to measure and develop that foundation on their own terms. This drill is designed to answer one question only:
How tight and repeatable are your shot groups when nothing else is influencing the result.
Practice on Your Own Terms
Custom Precision allows you to train with any LASERHIT target or your own custom target, as long as detection and scaling requirements are met.
You define:
• the target
• the distance
• the measurement units
• the group size goal
• the number of shots
• the time available to complete the stage
LaserHIT handles the measurement, progress tracking, and data integrity.
This approach makes the drill equally valid for different shooting schools, disciplines, and personal training philosophies. LaserHIT does not judge how you train. It measures what you do.
Objective and Goal
The objective of the Custom Precision Drill is to execute a series of dry-fire shots to center mass using your chosen target. Range, shot count, and time limits are fully user defined.
The goal is simple and uncompromising:
Build tight, consistent shot groups according to the standard you set.
There is no scoring for speed. There is no compensation for averages. Precision is evaluated directly through group size.
What You Need
To run the Custom Precision Drill, you need:
• your own target or any LASERHIT target
• a LASERHIT Reload Mark
• a LASERHIT Training Kit or compatible laser training device
• a smartphone mounted on a stable tripod
If you use a custom target, it must have a solid, dark surface for reliable detection. White or light-background targets are not accepted. The LASERHIT Reload Mark is required and can be downloaded for free from the LaserHIT website [LINK]. Target scale must be set correctly during Firing Range Setup before starting the drill.
All standard dry-fire safety rules apply.
How the Drill Works
The Custom Precision Drill always starts from a single default drill that is available to every user, even without PRO Access. It is always visible at the top of the Custom Drills list and cannot be deleted.
To edit the drill, tap the Settings icon within the selected drill panel and specify:
• group size goal
• indoor firing distance
• target scale
• measurement units such as inches, centimeters, MOA, or MIL
• hit hole size
• shots per stage
• stage timeout from 10 seconds to 5 minutes
Once the first stage is completed, the drill configuration is locked. From that point forward, only the goal value may be adjusted. To change any other parameter, the drill must be reset, which permanently deletes all previously recorded statistics.
This rule is intentional. Progress only has meaning when conditions remain stable.
With PRO Access, you may create additional Custom Precision drills as independent copies of the default drill. Each new drill can be edited, renamed, or deleted and stored locally on your device. This allows you to maintain multiple precision standards without overwriting prior progress.
Performance Tracking Without Interpretation
Every completed stage is saved as part of a continuous progress report. LaserHIT displays group size in the real-world units you selected, referenced to a 1:1 scale target.
Over time, the system tracks:
• the most recent group size
• changes from the previous stage
• whether the goal was met
• overall success rate
• improvement or regression trends
• time since the last completed session
These metrics do not average away errors or hide inconsistency. They show exactly what happened and whether performance is improving under the same conditions.
If PRO Access expires, recorded statistics remain stored on your device and can still be viewed. Full tracking resumes when PRO Access is renewed.
Before You Go
The Custom Precision Drill is not designed to impress. It is designed to expose.
It gives shooters a way to build, test, and confirm their precision baseline before moving on to accuracy corrections or time pressure. When precision is solid and repeatable, everything else becomes measurable.
