Casino Drill

Overview

The Casino Drill is a 21-round exercise that progressively tests your accuracy under pressure. You fire at circles that get smaller with each string while adding more rounds — the difficulty ramps up as your accuracy demands increase. A perfect score of 21 is the goal.

Setup

  • Target: Casino Drill target — 6 circles of decreasing size: 6", 5", 4", 3", 2", and 1" (or draw circles on a blank backer)
  • Distance: 5 yards
  • Round count: 21 rounds total
  • Start position: Low ready or from the holster

Course of Fire

  1. 6-inch circle: Fire 6 rounds.
  2. 5-inch circle: Fire 5 rounds.
  3. 4-inch circle: Fire 4 rounds.
  4. 3-inch circle: Fire 3 rounds.
  5. 2-inch circle: Fire 2 rounds.
  6. 1-inch circle: Fire 1 round.

Scoring

Each hit inside its designated circle scores 1 point. Maximum score is 21. A perfect 21 is a "clean run." Time is recorded as a secondary metric. The real challenge is maintaining accuracy as the circles shrink — most shooters drop points on the 2-inch and 1-inch circles.
