Thread: 50 Round Skills Check

As an example, I averaged out my reload times. 1.6 seconds, abysmal. 9.77 seconds of my raw time was spent doing reloads. If i could get that down to 1.3 sec then my raw time would drop by almost 2 seconds for the entire drill and it wouldn't effect penalty time. I bet any half decent production/classic/standard shooter would scoff at such a slow reload time of 1.3 seconds as well!

Its a good drill, I have never bothered to write anything down but when ozz posted the spread sheet I could see it was going to chuck a lot of info back at me so had to try it. Will have a go this weekend after I have shot to get a comparison between doing it cold and doing it when warmed up.

It certainly helps point out the parts that you can make up time. So you're shooting Open then?
