Dot Torture

Haley Strategic’s Dot Torture Drill is highly effective because it demands a level of precision and consistency that reveals even small deficiencies in a shooter’s fundamentals.

The drill uses a simple sheet of 25 1" dots, each requiring slow, deliberate trigger presses.

It forces shooters to apply core skills like sight alignment, trigger control, recoil management, and weapon manipulation in a tightly focused and unforgiving format.

Unlike larger silhouettes or steel targets, the small dot size offers no forgiveness, no line breaks allowed highlighting exactly where a shooter needs improvement.

What makes the Dot Torture Drill stand out is its scalability and diagnostic value.

It can be done at close range (typically 3 to 5 yards), meaning it’s accessible even in small indoor ranges, yet it still challenges seasoned shooters.

Missing a single shot provides immediate feedback that something in the shooter’s mechanics broke down

Be it grip, timing, diet, or mental discipline (yes i do really mean your diet can affect how you shoot. 3 Monsters a day isn't healthy).

By the end of the drill, a shooter has worked through nearly every essential handgun skill in one controlled session, making it a compact but comprehensive training tool.

Additionally, the drill encourages a mindset of deliberate practice and accountability. Since it's scored pass/fail, it instills a discipline of slowing down, focusing under pressure, and committing to accuracy over speed.

Repeating the drill over time gives shooters a measurable way to track their progress and refine specific skills.

That mental pressure combined with high accountability makes the Dot Torture Drill not just a shooting exercise, but a test of self-control and consistency—key traits for real-world shooting situations.
