    Mike Pannone's Marksmanship Evaluation Course of Fire.

    Mike recently posted his MEC.

    Mike's comments on the COF:

    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.

    Level 1/Level 2/Level 3 by cumulative time per course of fire and Distinguished Expert/Expert/Sharpshooter/Marksman by score
    • Course is shot cold and cannot be attempted within 1 hour of first attempt or more than 2 times in one day.
    • 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 D’s 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
    • Duty holsters with Level 2 retention subtract .25 closed top duty magazine pouches subtract.25 seconds
    • Concealment

    o No IDPA/fishing/photo vests
    o Must have factory slide to frame dimensions *no long-slide guns, no comps
    o Holsters and pouches must be specifically designed for concealment use
    • Distinguished Expert (Level 1 only and no handicap for concealment but annotated as Distinguished Expert-C) 200 points with every individual time met per string (not just cumulative time)

    I can highly recommend Mike's Covert Carry class. Anything Mike teaches is not to me missed. I have trained with Mike 4 times now and booked in another later this year. I've taken Mike's Covert Carry class 1.5 times. 1.5 times because I took it once and again last year when Mike ran a class in conjunction with Pat McNamara. Mike did a 1-day version of the Covert Carry class and Mac did a 1-day version of his TAPS class (1-day with each instructor). I would take the Covert Carry class again in a heartbeat. Spending time with Mike is like pealing an onion. There just is no limit to the breadth and depth of Mike's knowledge.

    The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

    JohnO if you took the time to type that out it's greatly appreciated. I saved the picture he posted on P&S and wasn't looking forward to typing it.

    I took his 2 day carbine class in Dec and was very impressed with the amount and quality of information he dispensed. He added a low/no light shoot and intro to vehicle tactics even though it was not part of the original course description. Major bonus for us. Other participants who have taken his Covert carry and vehicle classes had nothing but good things to say. Now I regret not taking them earlier in the year.
