Week 154: Failures to Stop

Results may be posted until April 4th, 2016.

Designed by: Gabe White
Range: 7 yards
Target: USPSA Metric or IDPA or similar
Start Position: Holstered and/or ready, see below
Rounds Fired: 27

For this drill of the week, we'll shoot a few variations of the classic failure to stop drill (two shots to the body, one shot to the head.)

String 1 (Freestyle): At start signal, draw and shoot two shots to the body and one shot to the head. Record your time.

String 2 (Strong hand only): At start signal, draw and shoot strong hand only, two shots to the body and one shot to the head. Record your time.

String 3 (Support hand only): Start with the gun in support hand only ready position of your choice. At start signal, present the gun and shoot two shots to the body and one shot to the head, support hand only. Record your time.

No extra shots allowed. Shoot each string three times, for a total of nine strings. Total your times and score your target. We'll essentially use IDPA scoring and count the A/B/-0 zone as no penalty, C/-1 zone will add .5 seconds per shot, and the D/-3 zone will add 1.5 seconds per shot.

Alternatively, if you are not allowed to draw from a holster on your range, you may shoot all strings starting at ready.

Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

Duuuuuude.. That was some awesome shooting. Atleast I've got a goal now, try and stay under double nwhpfan's time! That was so fast and so smooth. Very jelly.

Cool info on this historical drill!

Shot this with my CZ75 from concealment on a B8 replacement center and index card, pass fail. I'm going to extrapolate my scores since I didn't get enough strings and assume -1 sec down even though I think they might have been A's on a USPSA target.

2H: 2.10, 0.73, 0.71 = 3.54 (missed one to body)
SHO: 3.09, 1.11, 1.05 = 5.25 (missed one to body)
WHO: 4.83,1.20,2.39 = 8.41 (runs 1&2 didn't track time because I failed at using the timer, so this is run 3 all hits)

Extrapolated time =57.6 sec

What I noticed: I'm terribly slow 1H, my draws are like molasses, and my splits are too slow (based on my splits for the four 7s drills)

Walther P99, IPSC Metric
JMCK IWB holster under an open fleece vest and fleece jacket
Total raw time 42.67 (thatś three strings freestyle plus three strings weapon hand only plus three strings support hand only)
Total penalties: 4 x C, 2 x miss = 7s
Total score: 49.67s

The misses were both whilst trying to shoot a head shot one-handed. Oopsie...

My idea of an appropriate A-zone is the portion above the tip of the "A" - hence the line drawn on the target.
