Reducing Your Set Intervals to 25 m: The 6-Week Method
A structured program based on the community’s actual progress: dry-fire drills, relaxation exercises, and the trap of “always wanting more ammunition.”
Shooting more doesn't mean shooting better. The progress curves of thousands of members show a clear pattern: those who improve the fastest fire fewer rounds, but in a more structured way. Here is the typical training program that emerges from their data.
Weeks 1–2: Dry-firing as a Foundation
Ten minutes a day, with the gun verified as unloaded: cock, aim, and release without letting the red dot leave the target area. It’s tedious but crucial; for an intermediate shooter, most of the spread comes from the release. A coin placed on the rail that doesn’t fall off when the trigger clicks is the gold standard test.
Weeks 3–4: Short, focused sessions
A maximum of 50 rounds; announce each shot before impact—saying, “I felt it go to the left” must precede looking through the scope. Record each group of shots; objective measurement is the only way to counter the feeling of stagnation.
Weeks 5–6: Time Constraints
Set a timer: 5 shots in 20 seconds, then 15, then 10. Shooting under mild time pressure reinforces what you’ve learned and reveals flaws that slow shooting masks. At the end of the six weeks, retest under the same conditions as at the start: the average improvement is a 25% reduction in group size.
