JACKSONVILLE, FL –-(Ammoland.com)- Lots of attention has recently been drawn to the FAST Drill made famous by the guys at http://pistol-training.com/.
This drill tests a variety of skills that any shooter needs to take his or her game to the next level. We at GunZoo are big USPSA fans and wanted to find a way to modify this drill to turn it into a nationwide competition, that everyone could compete in.
Enter, The GunZoo FASTer Bracket Challenge.
The Drill
Before we get into how to enter the competition and all that let’s take a look at the GunZoo FASTer Drill.
- No Concealment.
- USPSA Production approved gun and rig. Production guns only!
- USPSA metric target at 7-yards
- 6-shots (2 to the upper A-zone and 4 to the lower A-zone)
- Starting position is hands by your side, gun holstered and loaded with 3-rounds.
- On start signal draw and engage the upper A-zone of the target with 2-rounds. Perform an in-battery reload (one round still in the chamber) and engage the lower A-zone with 4-rounds. Do this as fast as possible.
