results may be posted until 11:59pm EST on Monday 21-November-2011.

Range: 7yd (or other, see below)
Target: 3x5 card
Start position: shooter's choice
Rounds fired: 40
You will need a shot timer for this drill.
This week's exercise is about pushing yourself for speed on a low% target. It will involve hitting a 3x5 card at seven yards. If you cannot consistently hit a 3x5 card at seven yards slow fire, then decrease the distance to one at which you can make 3x5 hits on demand when time is not a factor.
Start position is up to the shooter but should be consistent throughout the drill. The 3x5 card should be placed horizontally (3" tall and 5" wide).
There are two strings of fire:
String 1:
During the first string, your goal is to get 100% hits.
- On the beep, fire two rounds at the 3x5; record the time and the number of hits
- Repeat for a total of ten runs (20 shots)
String 2:
During the second string, your goal is to push yourself to manipulate the gun faster.
- Set a PAR time equal to the fastest clean run you had during String 1.
- On the beep, fire two rounds at the 3x5 card trying to get both shots off before the PAR time is up
- If you got both hits under the PAR, record your time
- If you failed to get both hits under the PAR, record the number of hits you did get (zero or one)
Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:
- distance
- Start position (ready, open holster, concealed, retention holster)
- Best time for string 1
- # of hits within the time limit for string 2
- Best clean time for string 2
