Had a fun shoot this past Saturday. Once a year those of us who are approved to CCW at our church as a part of the Safety Team have to Qualify. So, went out Saturday morning to take part in the qualification. I asked the guy who runs our team and does the training to send me the criteria list so I could share....here it is:
Training Drills
3 Yards
10 Round Evaluation (1 Mag of 10 Rounds or 2 Mags of 5 ea.) (10 Rds)
Draw from holster
Fire 5 rounds making the tightest group
Holster
Evaluate your group
Repeat 1x
3 Yards
Touch your Buddies Hole (2 Mags of 10 Rounds) (20 Rds)
- First person fires a shot on target. Next person’s shot has to hit that ‘hole’. Then, that person puts a shot on target, partner has to hit that hole….and so on.
I won my group. I still had 12 rounds left and my opponent emptied his 20. This is a fun one from 3 yards out because it makes you aim small/miss small
3 Yards
Speed Drill (2 Magazines of 10 Rounds) (20 Rds)
One shooter at a time, timed individually to see who can get the best time.
From High Compressed Ready fire 10 rounds as fast as possible
Holster
Repeat 1x and see if times improve
This one is set up to get you to get as many rounds on target as fast as possible. My final time I got 10 rounds on target in just under 5 seconds, that's from holster
5 Yards
One Handed - Strong Hand (1 Magazines of 10 Rounds) (10 Rds)
Draw one handed (strong hand) fire 5 rounds one handed in 8 seconds (Reload)

7 Yards
Holster Drill-Timed (1 Magazine of 10 Rounds) (10 Rds.)
Draw from Holster fire 2 rounds into center mass of target (Repeat 5x)
Holster after every 2 rounds
So I ended up getting my time down to getting out of the holster and first round on target in 1.3 seconds....second round at 1.6. That was from fully concealed and waiting for a random whistle. Instructor did it in 1.1/1.3 so I was pretty happy with my result there.
7 Yards

10 Yards
Push / Pull Drill (1 Full Magazine) - 1 Shooter at a Time
Partner Up - Non shooting partner will move shooter around by belt / belt loop Shooter will take one shot on steel target on each whistle End drill when mag is empty
This one was fun and weird at the same time. This guy that was moving/tugging me around was a lot bigger than me so he was just jostling me around. You're sitting there getting on target and waiting for the random whistle and you have a second to fire after that. My magazine was a 12 round capacity and I had one chambered so....I went 6/13 on this. It was REALLY hard but fun.

I went 47/50. I was perfect until the final timed 16 rounds. I know I missed the second shot I took on the steel plate which I was pissed about because it's a pretty easy shot....I'm guessing the other two came during the two from 25 yards or the four rounds while walking towards the target.
