Well, I rant the Defoor Proformace Pistol test #1 today and I failed miserably!
I couldn't get the 25 yard range to myself, so I placed a "repair center" target at 25 yards and the other target at 6 yards and did jumping jacks for 15 seconds before I shot the first portion. I shot it cold as required. I failed on the first drill, missing two shots completely at 25 yards. I then failed the second test due to time, first "cold run" was 2.35 from concealment. I was able to get it down to 1.95sec after some practice. The fail continued when I dropped two shots into the repair center on part three, and my time was over as well. The best time I was able to get on part three, after some practice was 6.8 sec with all rounds in the reduced "A" portion. Part four I amazingly did OK on. I actually passed this portion on the "cold" run with a time of 3.26 with both rounds decidedly in the "credit card". Best time on this portion, with practice, was 2.81 sec.
Here's a pic of the 25 yard target with all the practice rounds (no, I didn't shoot it with buck shot
). The good thing about a rubber back stop is that it doesn't show all your misses!
Here's a pic of the 6 yard target. Note that the only rounds in the repair center are misses from part 3 of the test (automatic failures as Defoor likes to say) and a few extra's where I was pissing around with my grip.
The FAST drill was humbling as well. Best time I was able to get with it was 8.26 seconds with two of the shots just creasing the outside edges of both the card and the circle.
Dot torture, was well, torturous. I still haven't shot it clean yet. And continue to drop shots low at times.
Anyway good day of practice, 400 rounds put down range, and I even found some time to do a little clean up of the trash on the pistol range.
