Mike recently posted his MEC.
Mike's comments on the COF:
Dropbox video.This is my Marksmanship Evaluation Course (MEC). It is based on the old air marshal TPC but it is much more difficult and has some different stages. It was not designed as a course to be practiced. It was designed as a validation and evaluation course. It is also designed using an accuracy and a speed metric that must both be achieved to standard in order to pass the course. By design you cannot shoot outside of your skill level or you will likely fail. The real challenge on this is doing it from concealment. It is an unforgiving and very challenging course of fire deceivingly so.

All strings begin from holster with hands relaxed at sides; target is standard USPSA Metric @ 10 yards with 30 edge to edge. A, C and D zone hits in the body are scored as per USPSA minor. A/B heads are counted as Ds unless called prior
Expert 180-200 (90-100%), Sharpshooter 170-179, Marksman 150-169 (Level 1/2/3 times posted)
Lowest level on any one string is highest level that can be achieved.
Misses and procedurals (improper start position, sequence, number of rounds fired) asses a 10-point penalty.
Extra shots will be subtracted from the A-zone along with the 10-point penalty
