Each run is your time plus penalties: 0.25 seconds for a B, C, or -1 hit, 1 second for a D or -3, 2 seconds for a miss. A head shot that lands in the body is a miss; a body shot in the head counts. Times are for open, non-retention carry; concealment or duty gear (SLS and ALS at least) takes 0.25 seconds off every drill. The best four of the eight runs count toward a pin, drill by drill in the order above: Dark at 3.50, 2.90, 3.00, and 4.70 seconds; Light at 2.50, 2.25, 2.50, and 3.50; Turbo at 2.00, 1.70, 2.00, and 2.60.
