    I've seen the Wilson 5x5 drill before, but never with the IDPA classification scores at the bottom of the sheet.

    Actually, that's a pretty interesting drill. The last stage, requiring hitting a 4" circle at ten yards, will slow folks down. This one's going into the range notebook.

    Having been an SO for five years in the early part of IDPA (membership # <2000), I hated working the classifier. This abbreviated version would be much easier to officiate, and IMO better addresses the use of a defensive handgun...and no awkward workarounds for a snubby.

    Does the 5x5 classifier count for an official classification?
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Forward progress is forward progress. With IDPA being exceptionally slow to adapt to what is currently VERY common for a true carry gun I'll take CO.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Now if they'll go back to .5 seconds/point instead of 1 second/point, I might be convinced to shoot IDPA again.

    If that's literally your only problem with IDPA there's no reason not so shoot it.

    Does he even care about IDPA anymore?
