Setup

A cleared gun and no live ammunition. Three targets at a fixed distance: an 8-inch paper plate, a 3x5 card for the head box, and a mark the size of an eye socket. Start at full presentation, the sights on the target.

Steps

5 steps
  1. 1

    On the plate, finger in register: press as fast as you can, the pressure building without a stop, holding the sight picture until the shot breaks. Rack the slide. Repeat as often as you like.

  2. 2

    The same, with the finger resting on the face of the trigger and the slack still in.

  3. 3

    The same, with the trigger staged: the slack out and the finger against the wall.

  4. 4

    The three trigger starts again on the 3x5 card.

  5. 5

    The three trigger starts again on the eye socket.

Scoring

Not scored. Move back or shrink the targets to make it harder.
