Fearing a miss and a 10 secs loss.

That's still pretty good by the look of it.
I've saved the sheet, and will give it a bash soonish........ looks like a good training aid.

And I would put that down to the day I spent with you.

So on that, standard division, major would be a bit more lenient?

It should work out very much the same for Standard, as the point penalty is less for Cs and Ds.

Ozz reckons to do it cold every once in a while. My first effort the day before was gayer than aids.

I could see where I had to improve and forced myself to do so. Knowing you only lose a sec for a miss now, I know I can do a bit better.

I will try it again in a month when I get back from work.

Correct, run it cold every time. That way it shows where you're actually at, you don't get to warm up before a match after all.

thanks @Ozzy and @R93 for this.

total time of 97.75s including 3.2s penalties, standard minor. confidence is high for the Kaimai Winter Warm-Up in August!

It is Ozzys skill test. I just manage to take the word skill out of it, when I shoot it😆

I can't take credit either, I just found it on another forum.

credit where it's due: you guys shared HERE, where i found it, and i'm grateful.

Shot it again yesterday, after a club match so this is a warmed up time. Interestingly my over all time was lower and accuracy picked up compared to the cold start but I wasn't feeling it, so much so that I was convinced I was slower. Reload times were slower than before, one almost 2 seconds :/ but accuracy seems to be what helped it.

Raw time. 37.3
Penalty time. 1.3

Total time. 38.6

Shot it this morning.

Raw time 69.74s 30A 13C 1D 7M 10 penalties, total score 79.74 Draw and fire was slow, about 2.5 seconds, reload was slow too, about 2.5 seconds. Lots of places to improve.

It covers all the basics except for movement. It is a good test for pointing out where improvment is needed.
Keep doing it every now and then and as long as you improve along the way it is a good thing.

I plan to shoot it cold when I get home then drive over to chch for that mini match on the 25th You going stug? I can pick you up on my way thru if ya want.

Sorry Dave just got this

Hi IPSC shooters,

Due to a scheduling clash with the AGM and because it is a busy month for shooting matches, there will be no IPSC Mini-match this month.

Thanks,


IPSC Section Co-Director
