What we've done by buying and using the 75% IDPA targets at seven yards is to simulate shooting at ten yards.
7 yards is -3 to hit. 10 yards is -4, so we've been giving ourselves a -1 penalty at the range vs "real life".
In the above photo, going for the Mozambique Drill, it's -3 for the vitals and -7 for the skull. How to GURPS it is on page 15-16 of Tactical Shooting.
In total:
Vitals: -4 for range, -3 for location,+1 for all-out-attack (determined), +1 for no risk to self, +1 for no risk to others, +3 for well lit range, +3 for known distance. +2 to hit vitals.
Skull: -4 for range, -7 for location,+1 for all-out-attack (determined), +1 for no risk to self, +1 for no risk to others, +3 for well lit range, +3 for known distance. -2 to hit vitals.
If you're patting yourself on the back for how well you do on the range, notice the +8 for being at the nice, safe, comfortable firing range.
I've calculated my Guns/TL8 (Pistol) at 15 before, so I'd need a 17 or less to hit with one round at the vitals, 15 or less to hit with both in round 1. Then I'd need a 15 or less to hit the skull in round 2.
I am definitely not running at the pace that requires using the Rapid Strike version of the drill!
In the real world, I'd need a 9 to land one shot and a 7 to land both in the vitals. Rolling a 10 or 8 means hitting the torso instead. To hit the skull in the next round I'd need to roll a 5 or less. I don't feel super confident of that head shot. Rolling a 6 means hitting the torso instead.
In the real world I'd prolly not be ready to shoot until the person attacking me was a lot closer than 10 yards, more like three... So -1 for range instead of -4 and then 12 for the vitals, 10 for both rounds (13 and 11 get the torso) then 8 or less for the skull shot.
Probably more doable.
How do you factor in time? I never got to the Cooper 10 second goal, my best was around 10.5 with no points down.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting with the gun out. Takes me two seconds per drill.
DeleteDid old Jeff start holstered?
Yes. I was wrong because we shot three targets with a slide lock reload after 6 rounds. My best time on a single target would be around 2.5 seconds with a 1911 and 2.2 with a Glock. Checked my old IDPA quals.
