Dot Torture. I’ve cleared it up to 7 yards.
This was from 5 yards and my first time using the Regard.
What’s yours?

I run the Dot Torture too. My Indoor Range has the targets and I have done it out to 5 yards with my carry guns.
The farthest I’ve ever cleared it was 7 yards. One time. Haha There are times with the same pistol, I can’t clear it at 3! That lets me know I’m getting sloppy and need to refocus on the basics.
Here is a way to spice it up:, shoot it with time constraints.
After you shoot it the first time, you constantly compete against yourself in both time and accuracy.
The timed version, shot at 7 yards, is my absolute favorite drill to run. You can add movement too and really spice things up.

My favorite is the Old Bakersfield PD Qualification. It's only 10 shots but the last two are at 20 yards and there is one reload on the clock, meaning the disaster factor is very high. I use a paper dessert plate as the primary scoring zone stapled to either an IDPA or USPSA cardboard target. I can do it with everything from my 2" 940 to my Bowen Redhawk Alpine Conversion. 45 Colt with actually service grade loads. The Redhawk is most challenging with the HKS speedloaders. I know only one police officer who can pass this with his duty gun and he's a young SWAT operator. Most people I know won't even attempt to try it. The sight of a shot timer strikes fear into the hearts of most men.
