This one’s an oldie. I’ve been aware of it for decades, so I can’t say why I haven’t given it a whirl. I’ll be shooting it this Monday, and I’ll post my results here.
Basics of the course of fire are (this is with the police mind set on a call response):
All of this begins from the holster at each distance.
2 rounds in 1.5 seconds at 10 feet (“No one should be closer than that.”)
2 rounds in 2.0 seconds at 20 feet (“The length of a car.”)
2 reload 2 in 6.0 seconds (8.0 for revolvers) at 30 feet (“From the curb to the front door.”)
2 rounds in 3.5 seconds at 60 feet (“From the opposite curb to the front door.”)
The 10-point scoring zone on the silhouette target was, as best he could recall, a 7-inch circle, with the next zone (9 points) measuring 9×13 inches. A hit anywhere else on the silhouette scored 6 points.
Time penalties are set as follows:
”The time was flexible in that there were penalties for overtime. The penalties were 1 point per quarter second over the time allowed for the string. So, if you fired 2 in 1.5 seconds at 10 feet, you got zero penalties. At 1.6 seconds you lost 1 point. At 1.8 you lost 2 points, etc. ”
Passing score- 80 with 100 points possible.
The story behind the course of fire is interesting.
