Week 39: Defoor Test #1
results may be posted until 11:59pm EDT on Monday 13-August-2012.

Range: 25 & 7 yds
Target: IPSC target with NRA B8 repair target (link to NRA B8 repair target: http://pistol-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57&d=1306683559)
http://pistol-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=946&stc=1&d=1344264373
Start position: concealed
Rounds fired: 15 shots

Here is a video with Kyle Defoor demonstrating the drill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJtczDAUul0.

Drill is intended to be run COLD.

To begin the drill, start at the target facing up range. On the buzzer, run back to the 25 yd line, turn, draw, and fire 6 shots into the NRA B8 bullseye repair target positioned at the bottom of an IPSC target A-zone—shots must be done within 30 seconds and at least 50 points are required to pass. Record the time and the number of hits obtained. (Note: If and only if you are unable to run on your range--start at the 25 yd line, at the buzzer draw and perform the drill as above without running, but the par time is reduced to 17 sec.)

Move to the 7 yd line for the next 3 segments of the drill:

1. On the buzzer draw and fire one shot into the reduced IPSC A-zone above the NRA bull within 2 sec--if you miss or are over time, you fail.

2. On the buzzer draw and fire a 6 shot Bill Drill into the reduced A-zone above the NRA bull; to pass all hits must be made in 4.5 sec or less with no misses.

3. On the buzzer draw and fire 2 shots within 3.5 sec into the IPSC target head A-zone or “credit card”; it is a failure if you exceed the time limit or miss.

Please report the following when responding to this thread:

Start position (pistol, holster type, concealment)
For each segment of the test, report the time to complete and score/number of hits.

Is the change on the closer strings of fire intentional? Defoor list the distance as 6 yards (http://www.kyledefoor.com/2012/02/defoor-shooting-tests.html).

In the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJtczDAUul0) he states 6 meters (6.56 yds) which rounds up to 7 yds; during the training class (http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?1729-AAR-Kyle-Defoor-2-Day-Advanced-Handgun-Sept-14-15-2011-Castro-Valley-CA) he presented here last fall, we shot it from the 7 yd line. I'll get further clarification.

Tried it again, indulging my desire to pass with reduced PAR times.

Doublespeed Defoor Pistol Test #1 (halved PARs.)

Gen3 G34, concealed under a t-shirt in a Keeper

String 1 (25 yards, 15 second PAR): 12.67 seconds, 49 points FAIL, doh!
String 2 (7 yards, 1 second PAR): .90, hit
String 3 (7 yards, 2.25 second PAR): 2.22, all hits
String 4 (7 yards, 1.75 second PAR): 1.63, both hits, one barely so.

I'll try it again some other time.

Shot this on an indoor range so I could not do the 25 yard sprint.

M&P9 Blade Tech IDPA holster and vest.

25 yards: 15.34s 55 points

7 yards: String 1: 2.11 hit!
String 2: 4.38 6 hits
String 3: 3.43 2 hits

Failed on time on two of the strings, but got my hits so I have something to be happy about. Been concentrating on accuracy work for the last few weeks, I think I need to work on speed again.

OrigamiAK, WOW! great shooting.

Seems like only overtime on one string. Did I miss something? Good shooting Corey. I don't find any of it a sure thing.

While typing up the results the par time on the last string went from 3.5 down to 3 in my mind. Did better than I thought today. It was a good practice session overall, just need to have it happen more often.

This is one of the best drills we have found for assessing where a shooter is at. Too bad more folks did not try it this week...
