    I've used this thanks to Jody and it's tougher than it sounds.

    Leftover pasters, some pricing stickers for garage sales, a bingo blotter, or even just shooting at the same bullet hole repeatedly can all be used similarly.

    There's also the old Jim Crews standard of 3 rds in a single hole at 3 yds.

    Here was my attempt today. HKP30V3 Heinie Straight Eight Qwik from concealment. 7.66 sec. In all fairness the sun was at my back and made the painted top serration glow like a red dot, it was shall we say, helpful.

    That's pretty strong right there. Funny how hard it is to slow down enough to use up all 10 seconds isn't it?

    Only had time to run it twice before a class, getting 8 hits in 5.6-5.8 secs from a draw. Need to slow down on this one, for sure. Great test.

    As I look back on the notes I took it suggest this is scored by the rings; this target would score 93 (give or take) and be a pass.

    I tried a variation of "The Test" yesterday at the range. Call it the "Double Test".

    Two B8 repair centers used (Either side-by-side or on two separate backers)

    Two magazines loaded with 10rds each

    Just repeat "The Test" twice with a slidelock reload in-between targets. I set the Par time @ 21 seconds.

    10rds-reload-10rds on two separate B8's

    I shot 'the test' at Ken's Advanced Tactical Pistol class in Carthage about a year ago.

    A shooter using an ex-unit 1911 right beside me shot 100/100. Kinda tough to follow that, but I ended up with a 99/100 using a borrowed Gen4 G19 with Hackathorn Ameriglo sights. I was pretty happy with the results.

    I can pretty consistently shoot in the mid to high 90's, occasionally cleaning it.

    I'll have to try the 'double test' next time I get on a range (haven't been able to do any shooting since June/July due to work and family commitments).

    Was it scored just In the black or Out of the black - or by the actual scoring rings?

    Thanks (and great shooting).
