This drill is actually a test, intended to determine competency with realistic equipment. It is supposed to be shot cold, with carry ammo, and with duty or concealed carry gear.
Start position for all strings is facing downrange, hands at sides. Shooters using pocket-carried handguns may start with the hand already on the gun. Par time is 2.5 seconds for all strings.
String 1, 3 yards: Draw and fire one shot to the head, strong hand only.
String 2, 5 yards: Draw and fire one shot to the head, freestyle.
String 3, 7 yards: Draw and fire one shot to the head, freestyle.
String 4, 10 yards: Draw and fire two shots to the body, freestyle.
The Wizard is scored pass/fail. To pass, you must be under the par time on all strings, and have no more than two points down. The 4" circle in the head and the 8" circle in the body (-0 zones) are no penalty. Shots in the head (but out of the circle) or in the -1 zone are one point down. Shots to the -3 zone and misses are an automatic fail. Overtime shots are an automatic fail.
