"Cold Qual Target"Print and take to the range. 11x17 is best. All instructions are on the sheet.This is what I use as a diagnostic tool in my classes. It is based on two of the most important techniques you will ever use with a firearm, Drawing and firing for speed, and performing an Emergency Reload.
You need a Pact timer, (I like the CED brand).
Two Stages, do both twice, you will fire a total of 12 rounds.
You should do this "Cold", in other words, no warm-ups or firearms manipulations before hand. No gaming it, if you screw up you screw up.
Stage One- 2.5 each time = 5 seconds
Stage Two- 6.0 each time = 12 seconds
Total time 17 seconds or less is good.
Keep a record of this, (you can use the Personal Cold Qual Record Sheet also on this page) every time you go to the range shoot this before anything else and write it down. Keep an eye on your GPA so to speak.
No beginner, expert, or other levels etc., this is for benchmarking only, you will have good days and bad days. Be consistent and practice and you will see your average drop.
Do not shoot this 10X in a row, this is not a drill, this is a benchmark test and should only be done "Cold".
Do it once every time you go to the range. This is how it will go down on the street.
Don't forget "Rituals", "Threat scan 360" and to communicate.
"Doc" up!
