Week 83: iHack
results may be posted until 11:59pm EST on Monday 21-October-2013.

designed from the Hackathorn 3-Second Headshot Standards
Range: 5yd
Target: three 2" circles (.pdf target downloadable here)
Start position: varies (see below)
Rounds fired: 45

The iHack is an indoor range friendly version of the famous Hackathorn 3-Second Headshot Standards. The targets are much closer together but also significantly smaller than the regular version of the drill.

PAR time is set to three seconds for each string. There are three strings of fire.

1. Fire one (and only one) shot at each target, going from left to right
2. Fire one (and only one) shot at each target, going from right to left.
3. Fire one (and only one) shot at each target, beginning with the middle target and then finishing with the two outside targets in any order.

Shots fired after the 3-second PAR time count as misses. In total, you will fire nine rounds (three shots in three seconds, times three strings of fire) for each run of the drill. A "passing" score is 7 out of 9.

There are three "levels" to the drill based on start position for each 3-shot string. From easiest to hardest, they are: ready position (pistol cannot be pointed at the target), open top holster with no concealment, and either concealed or retention holster. You can choose whichever ready position you wish. If the drill proves too hard or easy, switch to a different "level" as appropriate.

Shoot the drill a total of five times (45 shots).

Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

• starting position (ready position, open holster, retention holster, or concealed)
• hits for each of the five runs
• aggregate score

Couldn't seem to get a clean run. Botched the draw on the second string of run 5 to give me a miss on time.

Working with two types of sights during dry fire last night did not help. This helped to confirm a conversation I had with Joshrunkle35 today. I need to stick with a set up for a week or so over several hundred rounds and then switch to see any actual advantage / disadvantage.

The iHack is something I routinely shoot a 7 or 8 on cold. If I have already put rounds downrange I can clean it.
