Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I’m going to add some perspective:
If you don’t know what you can do at that range and with movement already, I’d spend the time training rather than testing.
This IMO is the strongest argument for USPSA over “normal” range practice.
Because you don’t know what the “test” is before getting there and it’s not of your choosing.
I shot a stage from lying on a table face down hands behind head and unloaded gun. Nobody had practiced that, but it was easy to see who knew their capabilities versus not.
I have a pretty good idea of what kind of hits I could get with how much movement for the Dickens challenge and it’s from USPSA.
With this and the White Settlement church shooting, it would seem that practicing out to longer distances is in order.
I'm a "7" compared to most gun-guys, which means I'm a "3" on P-F.

I didn’t post anything in the OT since a pouge like me has nothing to add. I do find it interesting that this shooting was very similar in range and cadence standards to the Army “combat competitions” I did in my day as well as the Alternate Pistol Qualification we would run when the pop up range was not available.
I wonder how much a shift to intermediate range training we will see after this within the industry and competition?
This is for example a routine training session for me. I understand many don’t have access to this kind of equipment.

The swinger is 8” at 20 yards and the star are 6” plates at 20 yards.
These were shot cold.

There’s been a resurgence of shooting bulls at 25 already. Beyond that I doubt we’ll see much change for a couple of reasons. Just like after every other event like this people start posting about how they’re going to start carrying fighting guns again and the. two weeks later they’re looking for ballistic gel tests on .22lr because carrying a full sized gun sucks and a lot of people legit can’t do it day to day due to wardrobe or whatever. Second people have short memories and we’ll forget about this shooting after the next one happens.
On the competition side (uspsa) when I was shooting people bitched and whined more about targets at 25+ yards than almost any other stage design is however was designing the stages could make.
