Here we go people....

We're gonna set this up differently than the monthly challenges we did last summer. There won't be one winner of the 24HRCFPC. It's a club that you shoot your way into. It's only available to the most awesomest shooters around. It's tough, but being a Pistolero ain't easy.

Some of these might be tougher than others, depending on what your pistol background is. But that's the idea, if you can't do the hostage shots, post up your misses and track your progress. The idea is that this won't be a one shot wonder thread for the month, but will keep going as new folks try it and people get better.

Rules of Engagement
1) If you successfully complete the 24HRCFPC you will earn eternal Campfire bragging rights and can add "Campfire Pistolero" to your signature line.

2) Any pistol is allowed, no scopes / red dots allowed. If you choose to shoot it with a snubnose .38 or a flintlock, more power to ya.

3) The target will be 6" x 11 1/2". You can fold 2 1/2" of the edge of a sheet of paper under and use that. The hostage target will be available by email. PM me your email addy and I'll get it sent to you.

4) All shots must be IN THE TARGET. Shots that break the edge are misses.

5) Shoot each stage and post pics of your target here. Video is desirable, aviators are preferred, clothing is optional.

The 24HRCFPC will be divided into three categories...speed, accuracy and stress.

All shots can be made from a ready position, since a lot of ranges won't let you draw from the holster.

The close range speed challenge is a modified version of Paul Howe's standards to graduate from his pistol instructor course. Shoot this stage from 7 yards.
1) 1 shot from the ready in 1.25 seconds
2) 2 shots from the ready in 1.75 seconds
3) 5 shots from the ready in 3 seconds
4) 2 shots each on two targets from the ready in 3.5 seconds
5) 4 shots weak hand only from the ready in 4 seconds
6) 2 shots / reload / 2 shots from the ready in 5 seconds
***You do not have to retain your magazine. Drop one mag, insert another, fire.
***Revolver shooters have to reload. Better use a speed loader.

The long range stage uses a torso sized target. If you don't have a printed target to use, measure out an 18" x 24" rectangle.
1) 6 shots at 50 yards in 1 minute.
-5 of the 6 shots must hit to pass.
2) 6 shots at 25 yards in 1 minute.
-All 6 shots must hit to pass.

I'll email the hostage target to y'all.
Shoot it from 5 yards.
1 shot in 2.5 seconds.
Repeat this five times.
All shots have to hit to pass.

I've got the target scanned and will start emailing it out.

If anyone can figure out how to attach a PDF here so people can download it, please do.

This is what it looks like. For scoring...
1) Anything in the green is a hit. The bullet can break the line on this stage only. Be honest about the scoring or you'll catch crap when you post the pic for sure and for certain. More than half a bullet on the hostage would just be mean, and we're not gonna count it.

2) The green dots show the box that we should really be hitting. It's not required for the competition and the dots aren't on the target I'm emailing. I just put them on here as a kind of learning tool.

I'll get the target out to everyone who's emailed me. I've gotta pick one out and scan it first.

Sorry for the delay on the COF, I got pulled away for a bit.

I saved two posts at the top so I could edit with any clarifications that are needed. Lemme know I there's any questions.

And if you don't have a shot timer...

Surefire has a free shot timer app that works pretty good. It's free. You can find it by searching "Surefire".

That sounds fun, if I can get away I'd like to do it. Unfortunately right now I'm coaching soccer, so my nights and weekends are spoken for. Still, I'd like to break out the ole-PACT (and mine is O L D ! !) and have some fun.

Bluedreaux,

Please clarify "ready"

Arms extended, pistol lowered out of line of sight, or elbows bent, pistol in toward the body, or other?

I'll take a pic tonight and post it so we're all on the same page.

Basically, it's a "compressed ready" or "high ready". Pistol pulled against basically the bottom of the sternum, pointed downrange, elbows bent and against the sides of your body.

Outstanding little course of fire, pm sent.

Big thanks to Bluedreaux for coming up with this idea.

I ran out to the range today as the weather was nice and I felt like shooting. This 310 has been begging for some trigger time so I thought I'd give it a go.

Have not shot in an IDPA match in some time, and never with a revolver so this was a lot of fun for me.

1st stage I did in .99

2nd stage I did in 1.53

3rd stage I knew would be tough. I did it in 3.0 but that was my 3rd attempt.

4th stage I did in a 2.86 right out of the gate and that felt pretty good.

5th stage was an abortion and was done in 4.44

6th stage made 'flave realize he needs work with moon clips...

25yd line was fun and I did the 6 in 13 seconds and shot it again for fun and that was in 16 seconds
[Linked Image]

50yd line was cake but Mr. SKS and his girl arrived and I didn't take time to snap any pics of that target.

Good schit all around. And I KNEW 5 shots in 3 seconds would be tough. grin

Good schit. Use a timer! Get a buddy to shoot it with. I'll be back out after I print off the good guy/bad guy target. Don't forget the pasties...

Don't forget the aviators...
