Re: Great target for training...from me to you...post your s

I saw those dot targets on a site a while back and just couldn't remember where.. Well after about 2 hours of searching here is the article:

"Dots Shooting
The classroom moves to live-fire range. In the early 1980s, we were introduced to “Dots.” Friends at the FBI challenged us to try out a system developed by a group of dot shooters. Caliber-specific dot targets are posted at face height, with a shooting line three yards from the target. Ten dot sets are printed on each target. Each dot set looks like a triangle, with a dot at each corner. Only one shot is fired on each dot set, for a total of 10 rounds. If the shooter hits one dot in the triangle, they score one point, hit two for two points, and if you shoot through the center and touch each dot, you get four points. The total possible score is 40. Many shooters score zero, and this is only at nine feet. Of all exercises we’ve used to improve trigger control, dots have made the greatest positive impact. Time limit per target is one minute or less. Most officers will shoot too fast. To download dot targets, visit www.LawOfficer.com/dots."

They have 9mm, .40 and .45 you can print for free.

The rest of the article is a fairly good read.
