Results may be posted until March 28th, 2020.
Designed by: Karl Rehn
Range: 2-7 yards
Target: IDPA or USPSA
Start Position: Varies
Rounds Fired: 20
This is a short skills test that centers around tasks performed in three seconds or less - a nod to the likely character of event being short distance, low round count, in a limited amount of time. See link to original write-up for clarification and additional comments from the designer: https://www.krtraining.com/IPSC/Info...ondsOrLess.htm
Scoring: Several targets are mentioned in the original write up, but let's simplify and use an IDPA or USPSA target if possible. A/-0 zone and head box are 5 points. C/-1 zone are 3 points. D/-3 zone and misses are zero points. Overtime shots score zero points. You can also download and print the proprietary target on 11x17” paper using the link above.
Set the par time at 3 seconds for all strings in the drill. Unless otherwise noted, use two hands and shoot freestyle.
