The Purpose

Why we run it

What It Tests

  • Marksmanship at distance, out to 25 yards
  • Target transitions at various speeds
  • Reloads, both static and moving
  • Strong hand and weak hand shooting
  • Turning and shooting
  • Movement

Why We Like It

  • You can do it with a single box of ammo.
  • The volume is high enough that you can't slip by on one good run.
  • Hit Factor scoring rewards speed and accuracy, and penalizes misses.
  • No par times per string, so it doesn't reward shooting faster than you can hit.

Setup & Start

Before you shoot

Range Setup

  • 3 USPSA targets, 1 yard apart
  • 25, 15, and 7 yard lines marked
