    Here's one I threw together with negative scoring:

    I really like that concept. Are those rings B-8 sized?

    No- I rounded up the circles to even numbers, so it's a touch bigger. I used my electronics DIY design program to gin that up.

    I stole leveraged @Joe in PNG's idea to use down zero type scoring to create a B-8. Named imaginatively as a "B-8 DZ" (hey I'm an engineer.)

    I shot it today, and counting down from 100 was a lot easier than counting up from 0.

    I recently did a fair bit of digging around here:

    https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....-10-Ring-Sizes

    to try and locate an older Test Target associated with production of Wartime (wwii) production Colt 1911s. This Test Target was also apparently included with Colt revolvers (in particular the Python) at Hartford, from the 50s well into the 60s and early 70s. It was labeled as a "T-10", but I was unable to locate a definition of the ring sizes.

    After a month or so with no luck in searching online for actual dimensions, anywhere, a member on another forum was kind enough to mail me a copy of his. I took this copy and compared this with all the photographs I had found to create what I believe is an approximate "2023" version of the T-10. As used at the Colt factory, this was typically annotated by the Tester as being shot from 15 yards with an arm rest, 5 shots.

    Anyway, here 'tis:

    Two updates on this:

    I ended up buying one of the "Colt" reproduction test targets for $15 as it turns out. After looking that over in detail, I revised just one of the ring dimensions. I also created a place on my Google drive for the updated target pdf file, link below. The "Current" one is dated 8/1/2023.

    Link to T-10 2023: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RDs...usp=drive_link

    I also wanted one for more practical use, i.e. with a 1" grid for computing FOM and so on. So I made a copy and created a separate file with the grid background. Link below:

    Looks like this:

    I really like Tom Givens "Casino Drill" for a short, 21 round exercise in gun handling.

    https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/the-casino-drill/

    So much so I was thinking of a way to do essentially the same thing at my square range. The target used for the drill is pretty big, and where I shoot doesn't allow me to draw from the holster.

    So as a way to approximate the same skillset (engage multiple targets with different counts, perform reloads, etc) I came up with a "One-Arm Bandit" drill (it's not the whole Casino ), below.

    CoF is three mags, 5 rounds each, 15 rounds, in sequence putting number of rounds indicated on each target:
