I shot this again the other evening 4 times. It was late in the evening and the sun was off to my right and all my groups are off to the right. 3 with my G-17; 256, 266 & 279. 1 with my G-21: 260.

The biggest lesson may be that I need to go back to my 1911 and sell everything else! Interesting to me is that I got the same score at 15 yards, but was 26 points worse at 25 yards with the PX4. Maybe at the longer range the difference in sight radius, trigger, width of front sight, and trigger discipline are all magnified.
So far, this is the best DOW for me. I can't always shoot from a holster at my closest range but I can always put up a B8 repair center at 25 and 15. So, I can stop at my range more often when running errands, on the way home from work, etc and shoot this drill to see how well I can score in a variety of weather conditions and stress levels. I've taken three HiTS classes from Darryl and Wayne and the biggest two lessons I learned was being accountable for every shot and training to shoot well on demand whenever necessary. Shooting this drill more often in the midst of my daily life will help with both accountability and on demand performance.
I really like this test, it's making me do rhythm based shooting at speeds and distances I'm not well versed in.
Finally got back out there to try it again - this time I shot (3) terrible FASTs and then did (2) 10 round groups at 7 yards to warm up my slowfire "skills" (lol)
First time around a few days ago I shot a 269 (a few pages back) this time I raised the bar slightly with a 278.
I really screwed the pooch on the first two strings at 15 yards, if I had a better point of aim I would not have put that cluster of (4) -2's up.
I'm going to keep this as part of my training routine, at least for the foreseeable future.

The 1911 trigger is a crutch. A tasty, tasty crutch.

Ran it again today with my issue M&P40 2.0. Much better than last week with a 286
I love this drill and have shot it as a staple for nearly 10 years. On these runs, I was down five points each time at the 25 yard line and then went on to pull a 7 ring hit on both runs.

Can't get the pics to upload for some reason, so if somebody wants them emailed/texted and will post them, I'd appreciate it.

First time running the drill. I really like it! Shot it with my CCW G19, with Ameriglo Hackathorn sights. I think it's a 280/279 (depending if line cuts count).
