    I really want to try this, but I feel sure that I will fail miserably and I don't want to see that (though I know I need to see myself fail in order to be honest with myself). It will be a good motivator for sure.

    10-4, that's what I was getting at. Just cant stand knowing it's gonna be bad from the get go. But like I said, it will damn sure be a good motivator for me....:green:
    Yuuup, they don't call it dot Torture for shits and giggles ;-) I'm glad I did it though, looking forward to improving it

    These are my results from 5 yards. In my defense it was freaking cold!

    I shot my first round of Dot Torture yesterday, 3 yards. I don't have a pic yet but I scored a 43. I discovered some surprising things...which is good. I tried hard to tell myself not to rush it...just take my time but I'll be darned if I did not find myself falling into the mental stress of competition mode and squeezing off rounds faster than I should. I can see why they call it torture...but I LIKE it!!

    Good to hear. It is very telling to say the least. I've been trying to practice dry firing on my little IDPA range in the garage and fire at the dot torture drill some.

    Hoping to get the 50/50 soon.

    What will you do when you go 50/50 at 5-7 yrds consistently? Go up in caliber? Go more compact? Etc etc? :D

    Good question.

    I've yet to shoot it with my carry gun. I'll try that soon.

    The idea is to either shoot it more quickly at the current 3 yards or step back to 5 yards then 7. Not sure if I'll go for time or farther distance.

    I feel like I need to work on accuracy still then speed.

    Yep, I feel like the farthest practical distance for this one is 7yrds.

    Good luck w/ the carry drill, it's prob not as fun as with full sized mags lol. I can't wait to try it with VP9

    I'm calling it clean. Support hand only dot the line was broken so yeah, it's 50/50. Next goal will be 3 yards & three minutes.



    Btw, this was done at the Shady Oaks Indoor Range in Cedar Park TX.



    The two most dangerous places in today's world:
    1.) a gun free zone
    2.) your comfort zone

    Real nice shooting there.

    Thats a pretty decent range for an indoor range.
