I missed it as well, it was not, but Tom noted 5 yards in his post. But for you, it is 7!

Seen several variations of the Farnam drill. When I shot it for my pin, I think it was 7 or 8 yards.

Time limits in the 3M are tighter. I think the DTI instructor standard was 11 or 12 seconds?

Correct. Our time is tighter so the distance is shorter, 5 yards.

JCN- Nice!

It is a very good drill! Thank you for sharing!

I could feel my brain melting when the gun didn’t fire. It’s amazing how malfunctions can short circuit your brain!

For people looking to try this one, I forgot my snap caps so I loaded a spent cartridge in the magazine.

It was challenging in that the malfunctions were less predictable with out of battery jams and stovepipes.

It took more mental processing to look at it and try and recognize what kind of malfunction (even though the clearing was similar).

So that’s an option if you want to try it and you don’t want to lose or use snap caps.
