    Week 250: F.A.S.T.

    Time to kick off the new year with TLG's signature benchmark of shooting performance, the F.A.S.T.!

    Week 250: F.A.S.T.

    Results may be posted until February 5th, 2018.

    Designed by: Todd Louis Green
    Range: 7 yards
    Target: 8" circle and 3x5 card (see http://pistol-training.com/wp-conten...ast-target.pdf for a downloadable target; this target must be printed on an 8.5x14 "legal" sheet of paper)
    Start position: concealed, hands relaxed at sides (see below for alternatives)
    Rounds fired: 18

    Pistol begins with exactly two rounds in the gun. Draw should be from underneath legitimate concealment (see below for alternatives). Arms must be relaxed with hands at your sides (not on the gun).

    1. On the buzzer, draw and fire two rounds at the 3x5 card.
    2. Reload from slidelock/empty gun.
    3. Fire four rounds to the 8" circle.

    Repeat for a total of three runs (18 rounds).

    Do not fire extra rounds. Shots intended for the 3x5 that hit the 8", or vice versa, count as misses.

    Scoring is as follows:

    Total time + 2s penalty for each 3x5 shot missed, + 1s penalty for each 8" shot missed

    The FAST is intended to be shot from legitimate concealment or with a duty/retention holster. Even when shot with a duty holster, start position is arms at sides (not "interview" stance). Score is modified as follows based on carry method:

    Concealed: no penalty

    Retention holster with closed (snap or velcro) mag pouches: 0.5 second bonus (subtraction) per 6-shot run

    Retention holster with open top mag pouches: no penalty or bonus

    ALS, SERPA, or Thumb Drive (or similar) holster without concealment: 0.5 second penalty (addition) per 6-shot run

    Open top holster without concealment: 3 second penalty (addition) per 6-shot run

    If your range does not allow drawing from a holster, begin with the gun on a table with no round in the chamber (two in the magazine). On the start signal, pick up the gun, rack the slide, and shoot the drill. Reload from underneath concealment.

    Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

    Starting position (concealed, duty, open holster, or table start)
    Type of holster (if applicable)
    Time and hits for string 1
    Time and hits for string 2
    Time and hits for string 3
    Aggregate score
    Anything you noticed

    I just bought a ream of 8-1/2x14 paper this week to start working on these. Great minds and all that...

    Going to do this with a revolver, halfway through loading 2k of .38 Special. It'll give me the motivation to practice my reloads; right now, you could brew a pot of coffee in that time frame.

    EDC gear. G19 w/RMR Fricke AIWB holster. Insulated pullover concealment.

    String 1; 5.70 clean
    String 2; 5.75 clean
    String 3; 5.62 clean

    Total 17.07

    I didn't feel too bad about these number considering the conditions of 25 degrees and freezing rain. My two slow areas were shot number one and the reload. My draw from concealment is not bad, but my reload from concealment can be sketchy.

    3 clean, nice. To me that screams "shooting within oneself". Something that has been a challenge for me but I've been working on for some months after burning in chasing a PR on demand at Gabe School.
