Test

Minimum Competency Assessment (v3)

Fourteen short strings, 3 to 10 yards, most with a side-step. 23 of 25 passes.

Pistol

Live fire

25 rds

3–10 yd

Setup

Your everyday carry: gun, holster, belt, and clothing as you carry, and your carry ammunition if you can. 25 rounds. Freestyle unless a string says otherwise. For "hands on phone", hold a prop such as an empty ammunition box the way you hold your phone, and drop it on the signal. A side-step is one meaningful step left or right; vary the direction through the assessment.

Scoring

Count the hits: 1 point for an acceptable hit, 0 for anything else, including a shot over time or a shot not fired. 23 of 25 passes. A safety violation is a failure. Variations: stand still and start hands at sides; take 0.5 or 1.0 second off every par; shoot smaller zones, such as only the white trapezoids of the KRT-2, or every body shot to the head.
