Since it's President's Day (three days too soon to be Washington's birthday, a week late for Lincoln) I need to find a range that will let me do an El Presidente drill.
The range I'm a member of is closed on Mondays and wouldn't allow such shooting anyways.
Funny you should mention an El Presidente drill - we had one as a stage in our club match last week.
ReplyDeleteI remembered it as:
Start: Back to targets, hands above shoulders in surrender position.
On start signal: Turn, draw and make two hits on each of three targets at seven yards, reload, and re-engage the targets with two hits on each, IN THE SAME ORDER AS PREVIOUSLY ENGAGED.
Apparently, this is no longer correct. Now, on the second time engaging, the targets can be engaged in any order.
Not that it really matters, but it just feels wrong :)
For years club members have had an unofficial "par time" for IPSC courses of 1 second per target - ignoring running, reloading, and generally navigating the course, it works out pretty well.
This one has six target engagements, so by our rough rule of thumb, a six second par time.
I think the world record is in the TWOs!!!
