zipollini Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Is there a listing or publication somewhere that would list the times and or scores that one should shoot for for each stage of the qualifier for expert or master rating ? Example - It looks like experts can shoot the stage one Mogadishu at around 1.7 sec. with no points down and a master should be able to complete the same stage at around 1.5 sec. with no points down. Anything listed anywhere for all the other stages to give me something to shoot for in my practice sessions ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Law Man Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If you do a search in this forum there is a Master Class classifier breakdown. I tried to copy and paste but it would not work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 My limits are 25 seconds total for stage 1. 30 seconds total for stage 2. 35 seconds total for stage 3. If at any time I go over this I stop and start over as I know the run won't be under 90 seconds in total. In private I'm happy with anything around 75-80. In public and on the clock 85 is totally acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racknrider Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 And that's why I never want to make Master. How could I pretend I'm in the same class as that guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to shave 3 seconds to make Expert Take the score you shot and figure where the 3 seconds needs to come from. Faster draw, faster reload, less points down, faster splits, etc. I think it is important to shoot the 5x5 with no points down or very close. It's pretty easy to double your score with points down. Don't ask me how I know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) From my experience you should be shooting the 5x5 with only one or two points down at most. Because of the brevity of each string the proportional effect of a point down is to great. And it's only 10 yards away on a single, open target for goodness sake. String times, shooting no points down. These total 19.5 seconds or a MA time in any division. Add one second to each string for EX. string 1. 3.0 seconds string 2. 4.50 seconds string 3. 8 seconds string 4. 4 seconds. So step one, first be able to shoot it at any speed with zero points down. If you can't do that no need to move on. Keep working your accuracy component. Step two, your draw to first shot. There is no vest requirement so practice your draw without it. Getting your first shot in 1.40 seconds or better, always a zero hit. Step three. Shoot a lot of bill drills. You will get the grip, timing and sight tracking needed to do well at the 5x5. Strive for less than 3 seconds, zero points down, traditional bill drill of 6 rounds at 7 yards. If you can't do those things then you're not an expert.
