Set your shot timer for a 5 second PAR time. On the buzzer, draw and fire six shots at the first 2″ dot on the target. Record the number of hits you achieved within the PAR time. Shots fired after the 5s PAR count as misses.
Repeat the drill with the same 5s PAR on each of the remaining dots. You will fire a total of 36 rounds with six separate start signals. Make sure you have at least six rounds loaded in your gun before starting each dot.
If your range does not allow you to draw from a holster, begin the drill from your preferred ready position.
