Week 233: AMRAP Torture

Results may be posted until October 8th, 2017.

Designed by: joshs
Range: 3 yards
Target: 6 2" circles - download here - http://pistol-training.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6x2in-circles.pdf
Start Position: Holstered
Rounds Fired: Varies

This is another AMRAP drill. "AMRAP" means As Many Rounds As Possible.

First, establish a baseline. Time yourself drawing and hitting each of the top three circles once. For the AMRAP par time, add one second then round up to the next highest half second. So e.g. if it took you 2.3 seconds to hit three circles, you'd add one second (3.3) then round up to 3.5 seconds total.

Next, using that par time, draw and hit as many of the circles as you can in the allotted time. Fire one round at each circle then transition to the next in order from 1 to 6. If you miss a dot, you can make it up (fire more rounds until you hit) before moving on to the next circle but you can only count one hit per dot no matter how many rounds you fired. If you hit number 6 and still have time left, take two-tenths off your PAR for remaining runs. After each run, check the target and the timer to make sure you know how many actual hits you scored within the time limit.

Starting position is holstered. Whether you use an open holster, retention holster, or concealed holster is up to you. Just be consistent and start the same way each time. If you cannot draw from a holster at your range, simply indicate what starting position you used.

You'll repeat the drill a total of ten times. With each repetition, try to push yourself a little bit harder to make just one more hit.

Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
Starting position (open, concealed, or retention)
Number of shots fired and number of hits for each rep

I had a lot of fun with this drill. I big problem I have shooting red dots is that I take too much time lining the dot up in the center of the window when I could break the shot earlier. This drill really helped me break that bad habit and trust the shot.

Starting position: PX4CC, Mastermind Tactics Mnmlist AIWB, Concealed under a Tee shirt

I shot all 6 circles for each string and then looked at the timer to see how many hit I got. I figured it would be a value add to the drill. I also taped missed between runs.
