    There is a 9-part, 125-point test that students shoot every day (and twice on Thursday) when attending Rogers. The parts are also referred to as tests, so the test has Test 1, Test 2, etc. You need a score of at least 70 to pass, 90 gets you an Intermediate rating for the week, and if you score 110 or better you earn an Advanced certificate.

    Bill likes the standard connector. He doesn't care for a light trigger.
    When I give private lessons, if I need to demo, I use the student's gun. That way they don't think I'm using a tricked out SCCY to be able to shoot well.

    Thanks! Are those uploaded somewhere on the intergalacticweb or do you have to attend a Rogers course to able to shoot them?

    You need access to their reactive steel target system and the right program of times and exposures.

    Standard in a Gen 4 . . . . I suppose "dot" connector for more recent guns. That's really interesting. Thank you!

    I've got the steel............

    Would be cool if someone had the CoF...........
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    Worst case, you could figure it out from videos. I believe Bill is pretty adamant about who gets the "official" test and it's related to whether the system was bought through him or not.

    I'd love to have the steel to begin with. I can't think of anything more fun than to put on a three day reactive steel class. There is just so much you can accomplish.

    Hell yeah.

    I could die a happy death if I had frequent access to a Rogers Range.

    Sean+ToddG+F2S = solution

    Unfortunately, Sean is being a selfish #$%@ with the whole "serving my country in a war zone" thing when he should be thinking about us and the fun we could be having.

    I asked the Rogers staff last night about how our class was faring compared to the norm. They said that by day two, normally only about 60% of first time students have passed. We're 8 for 8 in our group (two of us have been to Rogers before).

    They also said it was even more rare to have three Advanced in a class, especially one our size. I'm very happy to report that the three Advanced shooters so far are the three F.A.S.T. coin holders: JV, Todd Kennedy, and me.
