The shooter starts with gun in hand, sightline under target, and can already be in shooting position of choice (standing, kneeling, prone, etc.)
If shooting at 50 yards: At the start signal, fire one shot under the 3-second par time. Repeat until you have fired six total rounds.
If shooting at 25 yards: At the start signal, fire two shots under the 3-second par time. Repeat until you have fired six total rounds.
Optional variation: For added challenge, start standing and at the start signal, draw from the holster and get into whatever shooting position is being used. Use a 5-second par time for this variation. All other details remain the same (one shot per string if shooting at 50 yards, two shots per string if shooting at 25 yards.)
