Week 96: Accuracy Efficiency Rating
Results may be posted until February 26th, 2015.
Designed by GJM
Target: NRA B8, x 10 copies – download here: http://pistol-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=281&d=1322428748
Distance: 25 yards
Rounds: 50
This drill is intended to explore the accuracy efficiency difference between true slow fire shooting, and shooting in a more practical manner (but without any specific time limit.) For simplicity of calculation, we are going to only score the targets for points, and ignore the x-counts.
True slow fire segment: shoot five, five shot groups at B8 targets at 25 yards (25 total rounds.) Do this in whatever way you think will allow you to get the most accuracy out of your gun and ammo. You can benchrest the gun, you can fire it offhand, you can have your more skilled shooting partner fire the shots, you can use a Ransom Rest if you have one. You can take unlimited time. You can put the gun down between shots. You can shoot one shot, go get a massage, then come back and shoot another shot before going and getting another massage. Whatever you want. The idea is to attempt to get as close to the gun and ammunition combination's inherent accuracy as you can, however you do that. Score the five, five shot groups and set aside the best one.
Practical segment: shoot five, five shot groups at B8 targets at 25 yards (25 total rounds.) There is no specific time limit. However, once you mount the gun (once you grip it and get it on target) you must fire all five shots of that group before dismounting the gun. No taking the gun off target or hands off the grip until all five shots are fired. Score all five groups and average them.
Please report:
- Gun and ammunition used
- Best single slow fire group score
- Average practical group score
- Divide the score of your average practical group by the score of your single best slow fire group to calculate the rough percentage of performance loss from shooting carefully and without regard to time, but practically and not in true slow fire.
For example, suppose you had a best slow fire group of 50 points, and an average practical group score of 44.3 points. Divide 44.3 by 50, which yields a percentage of 88.6%.
Optional: a difference in POA/POI is often reported between a cartridge manually cycled into the gun, and cartridges cycled into the gun during firing. If you wish, you may fire an administrative shot (somewhere other than the B8 target) each time you charge the gun manually in order to eliminate this variable. The rest of the drill remains the same.
