Week 50: Variations on the Test
results may be posted until 11:59pm EDT on Monday 29-October-2012.

Range: 5, 10, 20 yards
Target: NRA B8 repair target (link to NRA B8 repair target: http://pistol-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57&d=1306683559)
Start position: low ready or concealed for the folks who want a greater challenge
Rounds fired: 30 shots

Note, if you go over time or if any shots are outside the black, it is a failure.

1. Start with the classic "test" from 10 yards: On the buzzer fire 10 shots into an NRA B8 target within 10 seconds.

2. Move to the 5 yd line for the "half-test": On the buzzer fire 10 shots into an NRA B8 target within 5 seconds.

3. Move to the 20 yd line for the "double-test": On the buzzer fire 10 shots into an NRA B8 target within 20 seconds.

Please report the following when responding to this thread:

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

All variations shot AIWB from under a t-shirt HK P30 V3 with Heinie straight eight qwiks

"Test" 9.16 sec 97-4x pass

"Half-test" 3.59 sec 100-5x pass

"Double-test" 18.24 94-4x fail... dropped one out

Also ran the I-Hack went 8/9 twice and had several epic fails.

Best FAST was 4.74= 1.48 .48 2.00 .28 . 26 .24 along with some not so good runs due to fumbled reloads and a missed 3x5

Gen 3 G-17, Comp-Tac holster, 5.11 vest.

1. 9.72 sec, 9 hits in black with 1 in the 8 ring, 94-1x.

2. 4.35 sec, all in black, 98-5x.

3. 11.80 sec, 9 in black, 1 miss, 78-1x.

I reshot this with a Gen 4 G-17, a G-19 and a G-26. Interesting that my best scores were with the G-26.

Gen 3 G-26, Comp-Tac, 5.11 vest.

1. 8.61 sec, 8 in black, 92.

2. 4.15 sec, all in black, 100-4x.

3. 16.30, all in black, 92-2x.

I have never shot the Test before. My first score posted was the first time shooting it. I ran the timer first to get an idea how much time I had. I'll be using this more.

OrigamiAK - it's hard to use all 10 seconds ain't it? ;)

Indeed. It's always hard for me to use all the time in any shooting. Got pretty close on the 5 yard Half Test though.

Gun: M&P 9 FS
Gear: Ludus Magnus MMA carried AIWB under Pullover

Test: 7.06s; All in; 98 Points

1/2 Test: 3.47; All in; 94 Points

Double Test: 13.68; FAIL; 76 Points

Rushed the double Test and clearly didn't apply the fundamentals properly.

G19 AIWB under untucked button-down shirt

Test: 90-2x in 10.20s, all in black
Double: 80-0x in 14.23, 2 out of black
Half: 89-1x in 8.87, 1 out of black

ETA: Just realized I was using a B16, whereas the drill calls for a B8. I always thought the standard Test was on a B16?

P30 LEM. For the most part, can't report times, only pass/fail on par.

Low ready:
Test - fail x 4 in all kinds of ways, slow, in white, slow and in white, pass on #5 with score of 96.
Half test: pass, 96.
Double test: fail x 2, both times 9 hits on the paper, beat the timer ( sarcasm), did not score.

Concealed, Shaggy:
Test: fail x 2, 92 (3 in white), 95(2 in white), pass 9.27 97.
Half test: fail 94, 2 in white, pass 4.98, 100.
Double test: didn't run from concealment.

G19 w/RMR06 in ATOM mount carried AIWB in a Fricke Seraphim from under a North Face hard shell firing Fed AE9FP 147 gr FMJ.

Test: 9.03s/99-5x
1/2T: 3.59s/99-2x
2xT: 13.51s/96-3x

All shot from low ready, G17. Forgot the shot timer so I had to go by par time.
10 yd- 93-1x, under par
5 yd- 99-1x, under par
20 yd- 46-1x, 5 out of the black, plenty of time left :o FAIL
The group actually wasn't that bad, but high enough that half the shots were out. Need to work on sight picture at longer range.
