Scoring

Your time, with 2 hits in every A-zone; a C now and then is fine live, but hold the A-zones dry. Goal times at 10 yards, dry and live: 10 and 12 seconds toward USPSA B class or IDPA Expert, 6.2 and 7 toward the higher classes, 5.1 and 5.3 for competitive excellence. Add 0.1 to 0.2 seconds for a surrender or uprange start, 1 to 2 for an unloaded start, and 0.25 to 0.5 for a table start. Each extra reload and pass adds half the goal again.
