Week 41: Caleb IDPA 150 rd Practice Session

[BN]

G-17 Gen 3, Comp-Tac paddle holster, 511 vest. I set up several IDPA targets with the 3x5 drawn in with a template and marker.

1: 6.57 clean
2: 2.59 "
3: 2.16 "
4: 4.46 "
5: 3.73 "
6: 2.63 "
7: 6.14 clean

No short joke. I'm a little vertically challenged myself.

I shot this cold. Today was the first time I've shot a handgun in 2 or 3 weeks.

Since this is an IDPA drill, I also scored it Limited Vickers. If the target was the 3x5 card, I scored a miss as down 5 with 2.5 seconds added to my score. If the target was the IDPA target, I scored it points down rather than a miss if I was outside the 8 inch circle. My final score with penalties was 178.02.

I enjoyed this drill. I'll be using it more.

Bill -- Neat approach to scoring it! I wish I'd recorded all my times, now.

Shot this cold today. As others did, I used the 3x5 card instead of a 6" head (since my target doesn't have a 6" head box).

1: 5.06, clean
2: best was 1.81 clean; scored 18 out of 20 hits
3: best was 1.78 clean (shot a 1.76 but dropped the head); 20/20 body and 7/10 head
4: best was 3.80 clean; 19/20 body and 8/10 head
5: best was 2.43 clean (shot a 2.33 but dropped two); 34/40 hits... on one run I apparently went blind because I missed all four shots high
6: best was 2.03 clean; 12/12
7: 5.04 clean followed by 4.43 clean (my best 1911 FAST yet... reload was still a 2.03)

obligatory joke: It's funny to see Caleb get carded when he tries to buy alcohol at a restaurant, but it's hysterical when they ask if he needs a kid's menu.

Hk P30 LEM (TGS), RCS OWB holster, no concealment.

1. 11.46 3 hits 8" circle
2. 5.01 clean
3. 4.0 clean
4. 7.29 clean
5. 5.56 clean
6. 4.83 clean
7. 10.87 clean

Haven't done much draws on a timer this year and it showed. Great progression to the drills. I could see the improvement by the end.

M&P9 Pro, Blade Tech holster under open front concealment.

1. 7.56 clean
2. 3.44 clean
3. 3.42 -1 on box (fastest clean was 3.77)
4. 5.09 clean
5. 4.30 clean
6. 3.28 clean
7. 7.33 (6.33 with one miss on the 8" circle)

Can't think of a good short joke, I guess I just find them beneath me.

Since this was many rounds and characterized as a practice session, I worked on progressing from a more certain pace to a pushing pace on several of the various drills. Crashed and burned a couple times to be sure.

Gen3 G34 concealed in a Keeper under a t-shirt.

1: 4.72 clean
2: 1.48 clean, 18/20 total hits
3: 1.27 clean, 7/10 head hits, 16/20 body hits
4: 2.88 clean, 8/10 head hits, 17/20 body hits
5: 2.15 clean, 26/40 total hits – really broke down on this one while pushing the pace
6: 2.07 clean, 1.84 clean
7: 4.47 clean, 3.70 –1 H

[AJZ]

Gun: M&P FS 9
Holster: Ludus Magnus MMA carried AIWB under a T-shirt
Location: Indoor Range

All "Head" shots were shot on a 3x5 card as well.

Stage 1: 5.50 (-1h) (1.73, .55, 2.47, .29, .23, .23)

Stage 2: 2.06 (16/20)

Stage 3: 2.41 (26/30)

Stage 4: 4.70 (28/30)
Note: Included draw stroke in this stage though it was not called for.

Stage 5: 4.63 (35/40)

Stage 6: 2.87 (12/12)

Stage 7: 5.66 Clean (1.84, .38, 2.87, .22, .18, .17)
5.43 Clean (1.80, .39, 2.66, .21, .18, .19)
Note: Slide failed to lock on both runs. Even with that, reloads are still my downfall.

Joke: The key to writing a good joke about Caleb is remembering to keep it short.
Sorry bro, if it makes you feel better, I'm probably shorter than you, lol.
