Don't doubt that for a second, have been on black bear hunts where the cubs wander to close to your stand and you are watching Mom decide what she wants to do, it's pretty un-nerving, I only mention the seven seconds as most believe in a defensive action the attacker can advance on top of you from that distance in three seconds, so you have to draw and acquire in less than that to immobilize.

Most say thats easy, until a stop watch is put on them and you go measure where your shots are LOL, its very educating to realize how long that is when you can achieve the control you need.

Prior to that its enlightening to know how long one takes to acquire target and fire !!

I know all the theories but I can only draw and shoot accurately so fast. B/c of that limiting factor I would like to think situational awareness could give me another second of 2 to logically think "I don't like the way that group is moving" and already be planning the next step.

The quicker you realize who the threat is the better off you will be I think. Down here we don't have much of a BLM or Antifa presence but we all know what a meth head or cartel enforcer looks like. Churches dont take chances any more. Ushers remain standing at all corners and entry points and you better believe they are packing and know anyone new who walks in to their church.

definitely keep eyes open situational awareness.
my time off the buzzer to round on target varies by distance to target and cover garment I am probably faster than most people , short of the "pros" and I know that isn't fast enough
you better believe my plan is cover first , if you see things that don't look wrong and you make a move to distance , your not out anything much. if you were wrong you took a precaution.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Had my shoes off this morning so I counted them bullet holes, Then used the wife's calculator to figure 9+7 to make sure my figuring was right and now I see you must be using that common core math. That's what I see. laugh

depends what the qualification is ,however qualifications are typically set up to be easily passable.

when you get a chance you should try some runs on the clock with multiple targets

El-Prez is a good drill to test that you put it all together well

3 targets 1 yard between them left right

targets 7 yards from shooter

shooter starts back to targets, hands up in surrender position even with or above ears.

on the command or buzzer shooter turns , draws, fires 2 rounds into each target , reloads and fires 2 more into each target


I just did a quick search here is a short video that explains it and what is going on.
these guys give them sleeves 11 seconds , as I understood it sub 10 was the win and has been for 40 years originally when it was designed targets were 3 yards apart but it got shrunk for range size issues. lots of small variations people make the goal is the same master all the skills and put them together in one drill for a test.
some people start with 7 in the gun and don't go to slide lock.


I like the ease of steel and will hang 3 66% ipsc steel at more like 9 yards . a good safe steel distance. then you can run it a bunch of times. figure out where you need work and work on just that part then put it all back together

LMAO @ common core math I had one nick the top of the paper and obviously there were a couple flew over it.

GC Pete. For the Tx CCP we had to score a min of 175 pts out of 250 but the shots were from 3, 7, and 15 yards so basically point blank if you know your way round a pistola.
