I let myself run out of staples and tape nearly simultaneously, and being so near the end of my live fire season before real winter starts, I decided I would just set up some steel. While random arrays are great, I wanted a drill so I could track over time. A lot of the drills I come up with take components of other good drills and alter or combine them to suit my needs, as is the case with the Half Dollar. I wanted something to give me reps, that would push me a bit, and that I could do with a single 50 round box of ammo if needed. Many of my sessions are only 100 rounds or so and I like to have a warmup and cool down so that leaves me with 50 for those things. Being a big fan of Jody's 99 drill, I decided to take the times and strings for that but half the reps and further the distances since I would be shooting 8" steel. This is what I came up with and I really enjoyed it.
Target - 8" steel
Strings of fire -
15 yards - draw 3 to 8" steel with 2.5 second par x5 = 15 rounds/points
15 yards - draw 1 reload fire 2 to 8" steel with 5 second par x5 =15 rounds/points
20 yards - draw 3 to 8" steel with 3.5 second par x5 = 15 rounds/points
25 yards - draw 1 to 8" steel with 2 second par x5 = 5 points
Total points possible = 50
This makes a nice trackable drill you can run over time. I think the target/distances are roughly compared to the 4x6 version as far as skill level is concerned. Like the 99 drill, it is actually drilling with multiple reps as opposed to being a test used as a drill. 8" steel seems to be very common. I like shooting steel in winter because I can setup and shoot quickly without much fuckery and get out of the cold.
Elite shooter version for those who find this one too easy should half the par times.
