Ron Ankeny Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Post your scores - Jake, Steve, Ron??? - because knowing the net time to beat is a real motivator. So how do I rate being included in the times to beat? OK, I shot this today with my trusty single stack after a long, hot, Steel Challenge practice session. I shot through twice. The first run I shot it with the clear intent of shooting all A's. The times were 2.08 all A's, 2.99 all A's, and 4.49 all A's for a total of 9.56 seconds. I think that type of shooting would hold up pretty well any where you go. On the second run I turned up the heat just a notch. The 7 yard string was 1.86 all A's, 15 yards was 2.74 with one C, and the 25 yard string was 3.30 with all A's for a total of 8.10 seconds. Based upon how I felt, and what I know about shooting, I honestly feel the raw time of 7.90 down 1 point (iron sights) is absolutely phenominal. My second run was one of those where you just know the run is at your limits of human function, so I didn't bother to screw up a mental high by shooting another attempt. I have no doubt people could turn in some really fast times on this drill. A raw time of six seconds and change wouldn't be unheard of, and if (big freaking if) the hits were there...well you know.

Jake Di Vita Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Shot this recently. Here is my score from memory. All A's....last target was only at 20 yards instead of 25 though. String 1 - 1.62 String 2 - 2.13 String 3 - 2.31 Total - 6.06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I remember the The Great One shooting a drill he called the Triple 6, back in our ol' drill days (mid to late 90's). But I can't remember what the drill was... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Open, M, 6.94 with one Czone at 25 yards = 7.14 total score. 7 yds - 1.92, first shot .96, splits about .19 15yds - 2.26, first shot 1.28, splits about .20 25yds - 2.76, first shot 1.40, splits about .28 Weird thing at 7 yards, it "felt" like one shot was a distinct stumble, a slower split. Looked for it on the timer & couldn't find it, every split was a .19 or .20. "Perception versus reality", glad I didn't rush through that. Got my Open slide back today. The work I've done with the iron-sight G35 slide on top of the G17 frame has paid off - dry-fire times for draw, reload, draw-to-stronghand, draw-to-weakhand, reload-to-weakhand have gotten quicker & more consistent. My draw has morphed back into a "stab" that looks identical to Brian's [1990] book photos. Abandoned trying to have both hands locked in prior to full extension and everything is better now, even though I feel my stronghand thumb slapping into the weakhand thumb JUST as the shot is about to break. Anyone else get that sensation??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Not yet, but I feel myself rushing and not extending my arms to their normal distance trying to speed up. Not exactly what I want to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Thank you very much....I had my head shaved because it was just easier for a while. I have hair now. As a matter of fact I've decided not to shave or cut my hair until I win my first major of next season. Kinda like a hunting thing....but with shooting. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxman Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I really like this drill, But by looking at your scores, i am doomed to be a lowly B shooter for a while. I Ran, 3.06 clean 5.13, 1c 7.27 3c, 1d 17.17 after correction. The wife ran it in 41.71, and I thought I was good, until you guys slapped me back into my place.

shred Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I like and still run Triple Six occasionally in practice. It shows me where my weak spots for stand-and-blast shooting are My PB is stashed away somewhere (it was on turtle targets too), but at the moment I'm pretty happy to be in the 7's (adjusted) on a cold run.

Ben Stoeger Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I got under 7 a few times (adjusted) today. I couldn't seem to get a good run with all A's though. I always had that C adding .2 seconds. My Best run of the day was 6.84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermoto Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) This is a great drill. I was running around 7.5 adjusted (open). with 1.75, 2.09, 2:37 as my best times what I really like about shooting this drill today was that I knew what my points were going to be before I got to the target. I definitely knew when I threw a D and most Cs and it was usually my first shot, so I will have to work on my index. When I was trying to hard I would pulls a shot or two low left My 7 yard strings seemed to have a lot of tension in them, running .18-.19s splits. I couldn't seem to get my finger to relax and move quickly Edited July 28, 2009 by Supermoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJDOUBLETAP Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Been shooting this lately too. Mid to high 9's with production. The D's kill me, seems like I always have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHaz Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks Flex Triple Six is a great drill. It will teach you exactly what you need to see at different distances. Set up 3 targets at 7, 15, and 25 yards. You will shoot 3 strings here but keep track of your overall time. String one- Draw and fire 6 rds into T1. String two- Draw and fire 6 rds into T2. String three- Draw and fire 6 rds into T3. The point of the drill is to see how fast you can shoot at every distance but keeping them in the A-Zone. Every point you drop, you must add time to your overall time. A- +0 B/C- +.20 D- +.50 Miss- + 1 sec. So if your total time is 9 sec for the stage and you dropped 5 C's, then you really shot the course in 10 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a matt Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Are you doing it Rob's way? 6 reload 6 reload 6 or are you doing it in 3 separate strings of fire? Thanks Max's site is not working with today. Thanks We should do a different drill each week and make sure everyony puts down their classification & gun. You might be doing that already to lazy to read all the posts.... Edited December 24, 2012 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
