I think one of you animals will get it around 2.20 seconds. That's a .8 draw, .15 split, .8 reload, and splits averaging .15 for the last three shots.Originally Posted by Ben Stoeger

I've actually used the USPSA-style FAST more than a couple times. Shooting it with my Production gear, I put up a 4.12 once, and I'm just A-class. I figure a paper GM could probably get it in the mid 3s easy, and a proper GM could rock it down to the low 2s like Andy said.
I shot this today - 3.84. I'm a paper M. I've been in the 3.5's on this before, clean, but not today. Had a couple runs in 3.5's but with shots just barely out.
The 2x4 upper A box is almost half the area of a 3x5... this is a tough drill!

Very cool!
Just to make sure I've got it right, the classic IPSC target it the "metric" and the newer Euro target is the "classic" correct?
edited to add: There are a few things I'd recommend they change to their video requirements.
First, I'd require something like a measuring tape be on the ground and that the video clearly shows a legitimate 7yd distance to target.
Second, personally I think the camera angle that Sevigny used for his runs was the least debatable. It shows the target and the timer starting clean and you see the actual hits and times as they happen. This avoids accusations about people who use a pre-shot target and then throw rounds into the berm off camera, people who change the timer sensitivity after recording a low score so the "recorded" numbers are lower than the actual time on the video, etc.
Barring that, I'd want the video to begin with the clean target and a shot timer showing 0.00, then an unedited nonstop film all the way through showing the timer results (splits) and the target. That could still be hoaxed but it would be more difficult.
I would agree, but whoever wins this is definitely going to be a top USPSA GM. If someone no one has ever heard of purports to put up a crazy time then the internet police can show how he faked the video. If someone who is known to be crazy fast puts up a crazy fast time I don't think it will be much of a surprise.
Once I get back from the hardest pistol match in the world, I'm going to shoot this with my Open gun...for giggles.
