The six strings of fire are:
Top left dot. Draw and fire one shot, focusing on a proper press-out. No time limit. Repeat ten times.
Top center dot. Draw and fire one shot, focusing on a proper press-out. 3 second PAR time. Repeat ten times.
Top right dot. Draw and fire one shot, focusing on a proper press-out. 2 second PAR time. Repeat ten times.
Lower left dot. Draw and fire two shots, focusing on a proper press-out and good sight tracking. No time limit. Repeat five times.
Lower center dot. Draw and fire two shots, focusing on a proper press-out and good sight tracking. 3 second PAR time. Repeat five times.
Lower right dot. Draw and fire three shots, focusing on a proper press-out and good sight tracking. 3 second PAR time. Repeat four times.
Start at a distance where you can reliably get all of your hits on the slow strings (1 and 4), then push yourself to develop the speed necessary to make the PAR times. Once you are getting all of your hits on every dot, add a yard or two to the distance.
