The Bullseye 1000 (aka BE1000) was developed by Tom Jones as a comprehensive marksmanship evaluation to track progress during his 365 Days of Training.
NRA B-16 targets are used for Slow Fire segments; alternatively, the shooter may choose to use B-6 targets at a range of 50yd.
NRA B-8 targets are used for the Timed Fire and Rapid Fire segments.
For more information about the BE1000, you can read Tom Jones’ journal entry.
The goal of the Bullseye 1000 Drill is to achieve the tightest possible shot group within the scoring rings of a bullseye target. The drill emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent trigger control, proper sight alignment, and a stable shooting position. Because of the extended distance and the focus on precision, this drill is particularly suited for advanced shooters looking to refine their marksmanship skills.
