[QUOTE="David E, post: 1419434, member: 1013"] Based on the previous thread, we're going to start something this year that will be of interest to the shooter. Each match, we'll have a stage of "Skill Assessment" It'll be similar to a classifier where the target(s) and distance will be specified so you can check your progress when we shoot that stage again later in the year. The stages will be simple enough so you can practice them on your own, should you be so inclined. The advantage to this is that you can track your progress. I shot the second Texas State Limited Championship back in the mid 90's. One of the stages was a Bill Drill at 7 yds. (Face target, draw and fire 6 shots) Out of 106 shooters, I was 4th on that stage with a 2.32, down one point. The stage winner, World Champion Ted Bonnet, shot it in 2.19 down zero. Were I to go over 2 seconds now, I'd be a little perturbed at myself. But had I never shot that stage at the match, I wouldn't have been able to track my progress on it over the years. Which brings me to my point: prior to that stage, I'd never done a Bill Drill on a timer before. Of course, timers are cheaper now and every serious handgunner should have one. But even if I had shot a timed Bill Drill in practice, I'd never done it as a stand-alone stage at a match before. Oddly, my practice runs and match runs aren't always the same.....maybe I'm the only one.... The working plan right now is to have 6 of these so we can shoot them all 6 months after we shot it the first time. Hopefully, progress will be readily apparent. I have several in mind already, but I thought it might be interesting to open it up to you folks and see what you think would make a good "Skill Assessment" stage. If I choose your stage, you can shoot the night we do yours for 1/2 price. Here are the parameters: 1) Simple to set up and run. 2) ONE string of fire. 3) 18 shots max. 4) Three shooting positions max. 5) Shooter standing, gun loaded and holstered start. 6) Practical So, whattaya got ?
