Great drill to measure where you are and get better at precision under time pressure.

Here?s the first one we shot today at Bill Blowers Pistol/Rifle class.

Shot from concealment AIWB, 6.64sec, score of 100/7x

(Count of points/how many bullseye hits)

How is it scored?

Edit: Nevermind. I got it.

Nice run. I do love that drill. I always find a way to outrun my headlights and throw a few shots.

How would you adjust the protocol for weapons with less than 10 rounds capacity?

Easiest way would be to give yourself 1 sec per shot. And score as a %

Thanks. Not hard to get ahead of yourself on this one. Some also battle to remember that you still have to death grip the gun during this drill. A good balance of pressures

Your front sight is your gas pedal. Lots of people forget that.

Your front sight is your gas pedal . . .

Thanks. Funny how some phrases stick while others just don't get any traction.

The other COF that I’ve seen is run with a 1911 from the holster.

10yds
8rds
10sec
From the holster
All rds in the black.

The way Mr. Vickers explained it, this COF could be pulled out at any time during OTC and a failure had negative implications on the soldier’s graduation.

It’s not a hard COF but it’s an easy one to screw up.

Yep. That's how I have always approached this drill is I either pass it or go home.
