Range: varies
Target: 3x5 card
Start position: ready; standing unsupported
Rounds fired: 16
This is a variation of a classic walkback drill.
You get exactly sixteen rounds. You can begin with the target at any distance you choose.
Fire one round at the target. If you hit, add one yard and repeat. If you miss, stay at the same distance and repeat.
Your score is the farthest target that you successfully hit.
If you miss three times at the same distance, the drill ends even if you still have ammunition remaining. E.g., if you miss your first shot at the 7yd line, then miss your second attempt at the 7yd line, and miss your third attempt at the 7yd line the drill is over even if you have only fired three rounds and scored no hits. This prevents someone from beginning at the 50yd line and hoping for one hit out of 16 shots.
If you don't miss, you'll end up 15yd farther than your first shot. E.g., if you start at the 5yd line and get all your hits, your last shot will be at the 20yd line.
For added adventure, you can repeat the drill SHO and WHO.
