12-Week Training Plan: 540 → 570+
Core objective: Turn capable shooting into repeatable shooting Eliminate collapse series Make 95 achievable without “good days”
WEEKLY STRUCTURE
4–5 sessions / week (4–6 hours total)
- 2× Dry fire (20–25 min)
- 2× Live fire technical (60–75 min)
- 1× Match simulation (optional but recommended)
Consistency matters more than volume.
PHASE 1 — Stop the bleeding (Weeks 1–4)
Goal: No series below 90. Ever.
DRILL 1 — “Trigger First” Dry Fire
Frequency: 3–4× / week Time: 15–20 min
How:
- Aim normally
- Accept movement
- Start trigger immediately
- Shot must break without stopping pressure
- Hold follow-through 2 seconds
Key rule: If the trigger stops → abort → restart
🎯 Purpose: Eliminate late trigger acceleration and “now-now” shots.
DRILL 2 — Abort Discipline (Live Fire)
Frequency: Every live session Rounds: 30–40
How:
- If aiming exceeds ~6–7 seconds → abort
- Lower arm fully
- Restart calmly
🎯 Purpose: Prevents forced shots → eliminates 7s and 6s.
DRILL 3 — Series Firewall
Frequency: Every session
Rule: After any shot ≤8:
- NO correction
- NO analysis
- Next shot = full normal process
🎯 Purpose: Prevents series collapse (like the 85 series in the match).
PHASE 2 — Build 95 as a skill (Weeks 5–8)
Goal: 95 is no longer “a good series”, just “normal”.
DRILL 4 — 10×10 Discipline Drill
Frequency: 1–2× / week Format:
- Shoot 10 series of 10
- Stop immediately if any series < 92
- Resume next session
🎯 Purpose: Teaches repeatability, not peak shooting.
This drill alone can add 10–15 points over a full match.
DRILL 5 — Rhythm Lock
Frequency: Every live session
How:
- Use a metronome or mental count
- Same time per shot (±2 sec)
- No rushing after good shots
- No slowing after bad shots
🎯 Purpose: Fixes mid-match drift and fatigue-related collapse.
DRILL 6 — “Boring 9s”
Frequency: 1× / week
How:
- Intentionally accept slightly worse sight picture
- Trigger smoothly inside movement
- No shot chasing
🎯 Purpose: Removes over-aiming — the biggest enemy of 570.
PHASE 3 — Match proofing (Weeks 9–12)
Goal: Training scores survive match pressure.
DRILL 7 — Full Match, One Chance
Frequency: 1× / week
Rules:
- Full 60 shots
- Official timing
- One attempt only
- Write score down
- No redo, no excuses
🎯 Purpose: Bridges training ↔ competition gap.
DRILL 8 — Fatigue Series
Frequency: Every match session
How:
- After 40 shots, pause 2 minutes
- Shoot final 20 with strict process
🎯 Purpose: Fixes late-match deterioration.
WHAT WILL CHANGE (if done correctly)
After 4 weeks:
- Fewer 7s and 6s
- Bad shots feel predictable
- Lowest series rises from ~85 → ~90–91
After 8 weeks:
- Most series 92–94
- 95 appears regularly
- Confidence becomes evidence-based
After 12 weeks:
- Training scores around 575–580
- Match scores 565–575
- 570 becomes repeatable, not lucky
WHY THIS WORKS (no mysticism)
Because:
- 570 is lost through process breakdown
- process breakdown is trainable
- eliminating one collapse series is worth 15+ points
You don’t need: ❌ better equipment ❌ talent ❌ secrets
You need: ✅ discipline ✅ trigger timing ✅ process protection
