What this proves: whether you can hit what matters at every distance a fight is likely to happen, on a clock that doesn’t grade on a curve.
It’s 10 courses and 45 rounds, shot from the holster you carry in. Run each course once, cold. Then go home and be honest about it.
Clean runs only. Every round has to land inside the named zone. One round outside it and that course is a fail, whatever the clock says. Course 1 is the exception: it’s untimed and scored by points, and a shot that breaks a ring line takes the higher ring.
