You will need a shot timer for this drill and you will need to know how to operate the PAR function.
This is another Floating PAR.
For this week, each draw starts with three shots to the body (large target) followed by one shot to the head (3x5). Begin with a PAR time that you can confidently get 100% hits.
Draw and fire three to the body, one to the head. If you score all hits, reduce the PAR time by 0.1 seconds. If miss one, increase the PAR by 0.1 seconds; if you miss two or more shots, increase the PAR by 0.2 seconds. Do not make incremental changes greater than this even if your times are much farther from the PAR.
Draw and fire two again with the new PAR. Repeat the process (subtracting 0.1 seconds for 100% hits or adding 0.1-0.2 seconds when there is a miss) until you've performed a total of 20 4-shot draws.
If you cannot draw from the holster on your range, then shoot the drill from ready instead.
