Ammunition Needed: 6 rounds
Targets: 2 IPSC targets or similar with a realistic size, high value scoring area.
Distance: T1@ 5 yards, T2 @ 7 yards. Two no-shoot targets will be placed to partially obscure the threats. Space between targets is 3 yards.
Begin Exercise: Shooter behind left side cone, 5 yards to the rear of T1. The handgun is contained in the holster, concealed from view. On the signal, draw and fire 3 shots to T1. MOVE in front of cone to the right and fire 3 shots to T2.
Scoring: All 6 hits in the high value area in 7 seconds or less is a superior performance. Hits on the target but outside the high value area incur a 1 second penalty. Hits on the no-shoot= No Go
