Cold drill for the day 40 - 30 - 20 - 10 yds. For personal practice, in my opinion, "warmups" are a waste of a valuable teachable moment. You can't redo a cold drill later in the day. This is a chance for you to see how your on demand skill set holds up. It should be neither easy nor comfortable. It's not meant to demoralize but to inform. Combining hard skills for a cold pressure test. Ask yourself how did I do at this distance or at this speed? With this more complex course of fire? How did this piece of gear perform? The list goes on.

If it's self-defense or competition, you will immediately be engaging in a very aggressive way. Get comfortable with that.

Anyone who has done a class with me knows that outside of a brand new shooter, everyone goes through a cold drill. One that is a combination of hard skills and is HF scored. They are neither simple nor comfortable. That's the point. Then, the discussion follows of the "why" and specific skills being worked. If you're patting yourself on the back when you leave the range, you're doing it wrong.
