Week 181: Hackathorn 3-Second Head Shot Standards
Results may be posted until October 9th, 2016.
Designed by: Ken Hackathorn
Range: 5 yards
Target: Three USPSA Metric or IDPA targets
Start Position: Ready or holstered, see below
Rounds Fired: 9
Targets are placed at least two feet apart shoulder to shoulder at a range of five yards. Par time is set to three seconds for each string. There are three strings of fire.
1. Fire exactly one shot at the head of each target, going from left to right.
2. Fire exactly one shot at the head of each target, going from right to left.
3. Fire exactly one shot at the head of each target, starting with the middle target, then the left and right targets in any order.
A round anywhere in the whole head (A/B zones) counts as a hit. Shots fired after the three-second par time count as misses. In total, you'll fire exactly nine rounds. Seven points or better, out of the nine possible, is a passing score.
Start position is shooter's choice of ready, holstered, or holstered and concealed. If you want to make it harder than that, try is SHO or WHO, lower the par time, or increase the distance. It's a short and quick drill - feel free to shoot it multiple times and/or increase the difficulty as you progress!
