Thread: Larry Vickers "The Test"

  1. #71
    I hadn't shot this in awhile, I've been working on my 25 yard bullseyes and a harder grip on the pistol. Working on these two really paid off; the bull at 5/10/15 seemed a lot bigger/easier to hit after shooting at them at 25.

    5/27/16
    Half Test (10 rounds, 5 yards, 5 seconds): 96
    The Test 94
    Super Test (10 rounds, 15 yards, 15 seconds): 96

    I thought double stacks shot it from the ready. You're already shooting it really well, but how much closer to perfect could you get if you took 9.99 seconds from the ready?

    100/5x in 9.05, 10 yards from low ready, Glock 17 Gen 4

    Edit: Thought I should add that I was pretty well warmed up when I shot this, doubt I could do this cold -- but that's my new goal.

    I'd miss the opportunity to practice my draw!

    I have one and don't shoot it... does that make me guilty of treason?

    2 personal bests today on the Test, each marred by a flier (top flier in bottom pic was from a different string and not counted...)

    #2) 9.01 sec, score 95, but 12 rounds shot, oops

    Again, forgot to clarify - shot from an IDPA legal OWB Kydex Holster, no concealment. I will shoot it from low ready.... one of these days.

    Excellent shooting/time from the holster. I shot this drill for the first time this last April in a Hackathorn class. I passed every time but with low scores. It kicks my but. I can approach somewhat decent at 5-7 yard rapid fire shooting with .20 sec splits on an 8" target with a round sometimes two (when I get too target focused) dropped out of the A zone during a Bill Drill for example, and I can shoot 1" groups at 7yards and 3"-5" at 25 with no time pressure, but a more intermediate target with an emphasis on accuracy/precision AND time like the Test is definitely a weak spot for me. I'll have to start shooting the Test regularly, when I can use a range that allows for timer use, which is another problem. The other problem is starting to shoot regularly and avoiding binge training, but now I'm wining.
