In preparation for presenting Revolver Essentials at TacCon21, I created this test. It's not a drill; it's a test. Use it to periodically test your skills.
By the way, that was a great class you presented at TacCon. Everyone that participated or observed had very good things to say about it. :)
Have a safe trip back home, it was a pleasure to see you again.
Thanks for the test, Lee. And to echo Serious Student, your class was excellent. I had a blast attending it.
I ran this today with a 686+ concealed AIWB and I thought it was a great and challenging test. Thanks for submitting!Quote:

It’s pretty spicy. I managed to fail on four separate strings:
1 (3-yard draw) - missed one just outside the circle. I had a quarter-second left over that I could have used to clean up the sight picture.
2 (3-yard from ready) - same.
6 (5-yard draw) - missed, and also short-stroked the trigger for an OT shot.
10 (10-yard draw) - missed, and short-stroked so the second was OT and I didn’t fire the third.
Overall I scored 20 hits of 24 shots fired, with 11 on the 3x5 card.
One thing I was happy about - I shot the reload stage clean in 11-something, using a Speed Strip from my pocket. And I learned some weak points to work on - settle down a little on the draw, and don’t try to catch the link on a gun that doesn’t have one.

Thanks for posting it. I'd be very interested to see other folks' results.Quote:

Deleted due to piss poor reading comprehension.
I tried it again, this time with a 2.5” Model 66 from AIWB. Huge difference - I scored 20 hits on the 3x5 card, but still failed due to two misses (on the 3-yard SHO stage and reload stage, each about 1/16” from cutting the line). I also went 0.01 seconds (@#$&!) overtime on the 5-yard draw stage.
I noticed one typo on the blog post and PDF - the string numbers jump from 4 to 6, without a string 5.
