This is a very special challenge from Chris Long at Spas-12.com! Chris is an outstanding shooter who has made a wonderful 80s-themed shooting challenge based on a famous episode of the original Miami Vice series.
The scene from Miami Vice where the IPSC Grandmaster Jim Zubiena portrays a hitman who does an awesome AIWB draw and Mozambique will always have a special place in the hearts of many shooters.
Here’s the original scene in case it’s new to you:

Please visit www.triggerprep.com/challenge to see all the details. Here’s enough to participate in the Drill of the Week.
Set up your USPSA Metric target with a 3x5 card positioned horizontally in the head, and place it at 7 yards. Start at the hands up/surrender position (wrists at/above nipples, palms facing target), with the gun holstered and concealed. At the start signal, draw and shoot the classic failure to stop, or Mozambique – two shots to the body and one shot to the head.
You must have two hits to the A-zone in the body and one hit to the 3x5 card in the head for your run to count for purposes of the Drill of the Week. Your score is your time, for a clean run.
If you intend to submit your run to triggerprep.com and win a patch, there are more protocols that must be followed. Summary – You have to show a clean/pasted target, a tape measure showing the distance, a clean/zeroed timer, shoot the drill as specified from concealment showing both the shooter and the target, and then the final hits and timer readout. You must submit any official attempts via the form at www.triggerprep.com/challenge. Alternative targets are detailed there – Modern Samurai Project targets are also accepted. The par time to win a patch is 1.38 or less, the time that Jim Zubiena took to shoot the Mozambique in the original Miami Vice scene. Only fifty patches are available, so get in soon! See all rules at www.triggerprep.com/challenge to make sure you do it right. You definitely want this patch!!!
