Me getting awarded Pistolero x2 might get some of you off your butts. What better way to celebrate the Fourth than by chooting things. It's been longer than a year since I lost my front sight while preparing for the contest, but I finally got the P226 back in working order. 115 gr. JHP, 1300 fps. Stage 1; First attempt; 1.11 seconds. (I'm amazed and abashed at how long it takes me to get off the first shot, especially from the contest's ready position.) Stage 2; First attempt; 1.69 sec. Stage 3; Second attempt (broke the edge with one, the first time); 2.92 sec. Stage 4; Second attempt (missed the last shot, in 2.37); 3.06 sec. Stage 5; Fifth attempt, I think; 3.91 sec. Stage 6; Ninth attempt (that beats the 38 tries with the .45!); 4.99 sec. (that's .01 to spare!) Stage 7; Fourth attempt, and only five hits!! (I gotta put this gun over a sand bag, find out what's going on or what it's capable of. But all the misses grouped well just left off the paper. I put two pages together, making it 11x16.5". If I'd used the allowed torso target, all would have passed. [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/Pistolero%20Challenge/IMGP6134_zps43405a14.jpg[/img] Stage 8; First attempt; 21.18 sec. on an 8.5x11" sheet (cute pattern (ignore the binder punch holes)). [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/Pistolero%20Challenge/IMGP6135_zpsa2d13cc8.jpg[/img] Stage 9; Sixth attempt; (It only took me 1.5 attempts last time. But I kept missing just left enough to nick Jerry.) [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/Pistolero%20Challenge/IMGP6136_zps883fb005.jpg[/img] This is fun, some of it a challenge. I hope to soon be a three-time winner, and that with a revolver.

Bluedreaux,
Please clarify "ready"
Arms extended, pistol lowered out of line of sight, or elbows bent, pistol in toward the body, or other? Just so we're all on the same page. It doesn't get much faster than this for a ready position. Actually it does. Extended ready, IE arms straight, with your muzzle pointed at your potential adversaries' feet, is about a quarter of a second faster.

Sorry, that's bullshit. Pushouts are WAAAAY faster than pullups, by at least 0.2 seconds. I've proved it with hundreds of students, using timers. The best ready position is with the muzzle forward, gun close to the chest. It ain't "low ready". Me and my training partners call it "Mo ready".

First attempt, and only.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I'm 7/9ths through with a revolver; but I'd like, Bossmanses, a couple of rulings before I continue.
1) Will you allow an exception of two guns? My buddy was with me, with his young son, and he wanted to have the kid step up from .22's. But his S&W had been converted to DA-only, not really suitable for a small and weak learner, so I let them use my Security-Six while I shot several Pistolero Contest stages with his Mod. 66. After they were done, I reclaimed ol' faithful and continued with stages.
2) Will you allow an exception of two ammos? So far, I've been using 158-gr. LSWC bullets. But the sharp shoulders are hanging up on the reload stage, so I'd like to use something more rounded. (I don't know what I've got in the garage that fits the bill; I might have to shoot full .357 loads instead of the .38 Specials I've been using!) That change alone won't shave the all of the 1.25 seconds I need to drop, but it'd sure help.

Oh, arbiters of all things PC (Pistolero Contest)...
I'll be out in the hills again soon, would like to know if I may continue this revolver attempt or if I must start over and run it with one gun and one ammo.

You can do as you wish. You are, after all, a pistolero.

Question -
What are the dimensions of the hostage target. Overall dimensions of the target?
I can copy and paste it into word but don't know the dimensions of the overall size of the target. So that way it can be pretty small or pretty big, just sayin.
If it was previously covered, I apologize, but I didn't want to look through all the thread for the size.
Thanks, AJD
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

I'm not one of the true Honchos, but in the interest of exercising my new-found authority: Print it to fill an 8.5x11 sheet.

You were clearly granted decision making authority!
Thanks!
