Week 53: Typewriter w/reload
results may be posted until 11:59pm EDT on Monday 19-November-2012.
modified from a drill by CCT12US
Range: 5yd
Target: 6 2" circles on the downloadable target from pistol-training.com
Start position: holstered
Rounds fired: 24
Load the gun with exactly eight rounds. You will also need two 8rd spare magazines.
On the beep, draw and fire one round at each of the six 2" circles in order from #1 to #6 and then immediately repeat from #1 to #6 again for a total of twelve rounds fired. (reloading after the eighth shot, obviously) Record your time.
DO NOT RELOAD THE GUN BETWEEN STRINGS.
Then starting from the holster again, on the beep draw and fire one round at each of the six 2" circles in reverse order from #6 to #1 then immediately repeat from #6 to #1 again. (reloading after the fourth shot) Record your time.
You must shoot the targets in proper order each time.
Your score is the number of hits you made (out of 24) divided by your total time for the two strings of fire. So for example if you get 23 hits and shoot it in 25.55 seconds your score is:
23 ÷ 25.55 = 0.80
This drill is not capacity-neutral; ex. if your pistol holds less than 6 rounds, you will need to reload more than once. The time for the reload counts toward your score.
If your range does not allow drawing from a holster, start from a ready position with the muzzle pointed off the target and add two seconds to your time for each string.
