I put together a short pistol match for myself and I’ve been shooting it as a personal challenge and to check my skill development. I figured that maybe some other people might want to shoot it as well.
This match is similar to the Bullseye Nation Match Course or an EIC match, but with simplified details to make it easier to shoot at any range, at any time. Instead of timing equipment and mechanical turning targets I have an audio mp3 file that I listen to using earbuds under my ear muffs. The match is 30 rounds on three different targets and it takes less than 10 minutes to shoot the whole thing. You can shoot indoors or out, at 50 feet, 20 yards, or 25 yards.
For anyone who wants to play along, I’ll email you the instructions, the audio files, and printable targets. Send me a private message with your email address and I’ll send you all the stuff you need to shoot this match. If you want to post your results in this thread, that’s up to you. With enough interest, maybe this could turn into a regular monthly match here on RFC.
The match is broken up into three stages: slow fire, timed fire, and rapid fire. Each stage is 10 rounds shot on a separate target. Set up all three targets at one time and shoot the entire course of fire. From hanging the targets to firing the last shot will take only 10 minutes. Audio prompts will guide you through each of the three stages, and provide a start and stop signal for the time allotted for each string of fire. You’ll have time to reload between each string.
Stage 1: Slow Fire. 10 rounds on Target #1 in 4 minutes.
Stage 2: Timed Fire. 10 rounds (separated into two strings of five) on Target #2, 20 seconds per string.
Stage 3: Rapid Fire. 10 rounds (separated into two strings of five) on Target #3, 10 seconds per string.
It’s short enough that you can get on a lane at the range, warm up and check your sights, then shoot this match. All within an hour, using only one box of ammo, if that’s what you want to do.
So… who wants to play?
