Mike Pannone has created an exciting new test – let's try it out and see how we can do! Many thanks to JohnO for introducing our forum to it!
Test Protocols:
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=5 points, C = 3 points, D = 1 point.) 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 Subtract .25 seconds for every action from concealment. -.25 for draw, -.25 for reload.
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)
