Dot Drill — Five Separate Aims
intermediateSupported proneFive separate aim points, one shot each. Tests your ability to re-establish NPA and zero on a new point of aim each time — not just refine one group.
Fire one shot at each dot, in sequence. Between shots, fully come off the rifle, reestablish your position, and acquire a fresh NPA on the next dot. Each shot is a fresh problem — do not rush.
Use a target with 5 clearly separated 1" aiming dots, spread across the sheet rather than clustered — a printable dot target or five stick-on dots on a backer. The wider the spacing, the more genuinely you have to rebuild position for each one. Distance: 100 yards. Supported prone position.
For each shot, measure how far the hole sits from the dot center — this is radial deviation from a point of aim, NOT a group size, and the two are not comparable. ⚠️ Score against YOUR established capability, not a fixed number: take your usual 5-shot group size from the 5-Shot Group Standard and use half of it as the target radius. A 2" shooter counts hits inside 1"; a 1" shooter counts hits inside ½". 5/5 = excellent; 4/5 = good; 3/5 = acceptable; below 3 means your position is costing you more than your rifle is. ⛔ A fixed ½" standard would fail every shooter below Master on the Rifle Path, which is not what this drill is diagnosing.
