JThompson Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) I've been working a neat little drill and thought you might like to give it a shot and post some times with me. Setup: Six PPs on a row about 1 foot apart left to right. One half diag paper targets, on either side of the PPs, with the hard cover going from the lower outside to upper inside... you know the deal. Two half targets is acceptable too. The paper targets should be 5ft at the shoulder and two feet on either side of the PPs. The shooting box will be 15yds from the face of the PPs. It's okay to set the paper a bit in front to keep the frags down. Start facing downrange, hands at sides gun loaded etc etc. Take 5 runs and record your best time... no more than 1 c allowed. Post your time and class. My best was 3.71 A class Open Edited December 11, 2008 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sounds similar to classifier 03-05 Paper Poppers ? I remember this one well as it moved me to "B" Limited some time back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 JT...maybe come up with a new name? We have something around here called the test...by TGO (with bianchi plates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sounds like a good speed test for people with access to pepper poppers shooting hicap guns but doesn't do much for SS and revo shooters. I think I will stick to 6 & 8 shot movement drills on paper preping for that special classifier in April which is the first available math next year.

I live in a 10rd State(Peoples Republic of Hawaii) I know its my fault but at least we still rate Area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will stick to 6 & 8 shot movement drills on paper preping for that special classifier in April which is the first available math next year. It's just a fun little speed shoot... and it does only take 10rds. I made it that way, so even the SS and Nazi states could run the drill with 10rds. No problem if you don't want to give it a go. I love to see the insanely fast runs that some of the guys put up. It's a good reality check for me. If you don't have poppers then you can just staple a paper plate on a stick, the center about 18 inches high. This will be a more like a USP, so make sure your hits is a good one. As to the Revo guys... I must admit I had not considered them... Okay, if you revo guys want to play, give me the average of your reload times over the five runs and subtract that average time from your overall time. That should negate you reload pretty well.

Al Capizzo Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I saw B.J. Norris shoot 03-05 once and I swear he was finished with his reload before the first popper was flat on the ground ! Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 That's okay... I think that one would make a good classifier with a tweak or two. M around 3 something is about right...
