I did the alternate drill for this (of course). And I did it on a range with a max distance of 50 feet, sigh.
Here are the results:
5 yd: 87 1x
10 yd: 69
15 yd: 62
50 ft: 58

WalMart is good for cheap range ammo. You can get 100 round bulk packs of 9 mm Fed Champion for $20, 100 rounds of 12 ga target loads for $23, and 20 rounds of American...
This was a very eye opening drill (so to speak). With the short range (3 yd.), and the dots so close together, I really had trouble getting a good sight picture. This will be something I'll...
For what I do, which is trying to build my pistol marksmanship skills, I like Discount in Santee best. I have paid for their "membership," which allows me to reserve range time in advance, and I...
Welcome to California, and thanks for your service TJ. I live just across the freeway from MCAS Miramar, so we'll be neighbors.
Amen to using http://www.calguns.net/ for good info. There is a...
Another good drill. Lots to learn.
Starting position: Compressed High Ready, more or less. I haven't taken that class yet. Shooting a stock M&P 9 FS with commercial 115 gr. plated reloads...
SHO from ready
WHO from ready
Range for both runs was 5 yd.
SHO, -14
WHO, -12
This was a very good drill for me. I've never taken so many WHO shots in a row. It fatigued me. I need to...

My January final results:
300 average: 164
F.A.S.T. average: 14.99 (Starting from the bench, target at 5 yd.)
Great idea to do this. Thanks!
Start position: Ready position
5 yard targets: Clean, similar groups
7 yard targets: -2 first card, -5 second card
At 7 yards, my second card group drifted down and to the right (I'm...
Another great and interesting drill. I shot it with my M&P 9FS.
My results:
starting position for the "test" phases: ready position
time for pre-drill 6 shot "test": 6.53s (Note, I had...
Me too!
Except for me, it's a Buck Mark.
So far so good!
This was another really fun drill. Beyond my skills, yes, but doing these is keeping my range visits very challenging and interesting.
My report:
Distance: 5 yd
Starting position: Ready...
Due to my, uh, skills, I shot this from 3 yards with a 5 second par time.
Results:
starting position: ready position
hits for each of the four runs: 4, 3, 0, 3
aggregate score: 10

Due to poor planning, this took me two range visits, but here it is.
starting position: From the bench, no draws
type of holster: N/A
time and hits for string 1: 17 sec, 2 misses on...
Of course. Thanks!
I went for a fun shoot today with my son, Dad, and brother. Not much disciplined drilling, but I did manage to get a valid SWYNTS time on the 3x5.
From ready position, 33...
OK, I'll give it another try. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to get a valid score on the 3x5, and I'll take another whack at the 2". Regardless, I definitely need to devote more time to slow...
Being a newbie shooter and all that, I don't think I'm really ready for a drill like this.
Nevertheless, I felt like it would be a fun challenge, so here goes:
