mrgreentie Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Here are the details: http://gunzoo.com/news/2012-GunZoo-FASTer-Bracket-Challenge 2012 GunZoo FASTer Bracket-Challenge Lots of attention has recently been drawn to the FAST Drill made famous by the guys at http://pistol-training.com/. This drill tests a variety of skills that any shooter needs to take his or her game to the next level. We at GunZoo are big USPSA fans and wanted to find a way to modify this drill to turn it into a nationwide competition, that everyone could compete in. Enter, The GunZoo FASTer Bracket Challenge. The Drill Before we get into how to enter the competition and all that let’s take a look at the GunZoo FASTer Drill. • No Concealment. • USPSA Production approved gun and rig. Production guns only! • USPSA metric target at 7-yards • 6-shots (2 to the upper A-zone and 4 to the lower A-zone) Starting position is hands by your side, gun holstered and loaded with 3-rounds. On start signal draw and engage the upper A-zone of the target with 2-rounds. Perform an in-battery reload (one round still in the chamber) and engage the lower A-zone with 4-rounds. Do this as fast as possible. All Shooter Brackets The All Shooter brackets are for any shooter who would like to participate. These brackets will be broken down into regions outlined by the USPSA Area Map. Bracket one contestants will be any shooter from the following areas: Area 5, 6, 7, or 8. Bracket two contestants will be any shooter form Area 1,2,3, or 4. Area map is located here: http://www.uspsa.org/locate-uspsa-clubs.php * Round 1 - Semi-finals * Deadline: June 17th Location: Remote – Submit videos per guidelines below. Purse: Winner of each Bracket wins a $50 pre-paid Visa gift card. As sponsors come on board the prizes should be expanded. Bracket One Winner will be the fastest time from Area 1,2,3 and 4.

mrgreentie Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Cool thing is you can shoot it on any range in the country. No cost to enter. And you can claim the title of first ever GunZoo FASTer Challenge Champ. We're looking for sponsors to sweeten the deal. Jump in today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCReid Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Why not open it up to single stack as well. Holster requirements are basically the same, it might let a few more people get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
