How DOTM Works
Recording: Submissions should include a clear shot of the shooter and target simultaneously. It should be evident that you have a clean target prior to running the drill and a close up shot of hits with no cut in the footage. If a hit is more than 50% outside of the scoring zone, a score card must be used to verify the hit.
Submissions: All entries must be appropriately submitted via the dotm-submissions channel by the 27th of every month.
Prizes: Every month the winner gets a free T-Shirt from our store. Our writers occasionally receive products to review, all submissions will receive one entry ticket regardless of placement for a chance to win the raffle.
