Dot Torture:

The day of shooting classification started with Dot Torture assessment done at 4 yard line. There are no time limits but the exercise had to be completed within a reasonable amount of time along with the flow of the class. This particular drill has been used by TAC-1 for at least 5-6 years when Lou Salseda suggested to try it out.  It turned about to be an outstanding drill with amazing result.  It also gives us assessment as to the level of marksmanship a shooter holds.

Louise B. shot a perfect score of 50/50 which technically makes the only passing score.

The Math: The Dot Torture counts as total of 250 points total. That’s roughly 12.5% of the total tally.  There for the scores are halved to reflect the final score on the score sheet.  Here we are positing the actual hits on paper.

I can’t stress enough of not neglecting to practice with support hand only shooting. Many dropped rounds in #8.

Marksmanship Test (Phase 1): 20 rounds  [Pistol-I(b)]

Weir	Chris	200
Mithcell	Nate	198
Ravenell	Rick	198

Chris W. came in very strong with a perfect 200 point for this first Marksmanship classifier.  This section reflects testing procedure for Pistol-I module. The times are based on the expected abilities upon completion of P1 module. The success is not likely to be achieved with no repeated classes with no prior experience.

Marksmanship Test (Phase 2): 30 rounds [Pistol-I(b)]

Stulbaum	Jason	297

Jose	Daniel	278
Shaw	Dave	265

Positions Test (Phase 3): 40 rounds [Pistol-II(B)]

This phase started off with supine position on the back at 7 yards. Also a situp shooting drill has been incorporated with total of 11 reps.  Then moved on to speed kneeling and double kneeling from 7 and 10 yards  respectively.  Again Chris came in at the top.  What is going on with Shaw??

MATH: Straight ring score

11	Figueroa	Robert	367
12	Cornea	Andrea	360

Recent classes have been working on some other alternative prone positions such as the Inverted Prone which caused certain shooters to unable to identify threat and shot on the wrong target which caused them to be penalized.  Each rounds shot on the wrong target were not scored.  Prone positions at 25 yards can be challenging if the shooter had not put in any work prior to the classifier.

Positions Test (Phase 4): 20 rounds – Pistol-II(B)

Each round shot in the center is 10 point each. There are 9, 8 and 5 point zones. Maximum possible score is 200 point.

Advanced Operation Test (Phase 5): 250 point course [Pistol-II(A)]

This phase is a Go or No Go section. The shooter must shoot within the allotted time and must make it in the center hit zone (see target) in order to receive the full 50 point per section. The shooter has the ability to earn 250 point for this section.

This is a new section that proved very difficult for our P2D shooters. Many were not able to successfully pass the requirements. For that it was a trial and error for TAC-1 to ass the true skill level of P2D students. 

MATH: There are total of 5 sections to complete with minimum numbers of round fired. The score is based on the shooter’s ability to complete the task with in the allotted par time. If the shooter competed the course of fire in timely manner, 5 point was awarded. If it was a NO GO then 0 point was given. The maximum point a shooter could achieve is 50 points.  The weight of this drill in relation to the total point possible was lowered due to it’s apparent difficulty. 

The details of the course of fire will be posted in the near future.

Combat Course (Phase 8) Test: 30 rds course on STEEL

Diamond Drill:

2 and 3 rounds loaded and placed in magazine pouch.  Maneuver through the cone and shoot 5 rounds as instructed. Repeat to the opposite direction. 

MATH:  This section is worth 50 points if done perfectly.  The shooter will fire total of 10 rounds in 2 relays. Any missed round on the target will cost the shooter 2 additional seconds on the final raw time. The top shot with errors will earn 100% of the 50 points.  The subsequent shooters will be given a percentage off of top leader. The final time will be multiplied by the percentage earned in the stage. Any procedural will be given 5 points deducted from the final points earned.   

El Prez:

A Classic drill that need to be performed at any opportunity a shooter can get. TAC-1 had incorporated this drill into the classifier to assess our students compared to the rest of the world. 

MATH:  Same as above.  This section is worth 50 points if done perfectly.  The shooter will fire total of 10 rounds in 2 relays. Any missed round on the target will cost the shooter 2 additional seconds on the final raw time. The top shot with errors will earn 100% of the 50 points.  The subsequent shooters will be given a percentage off of top leader. The final time will be multiplied by the percentage earned in the stage. Any procedural will be given 5 points deducted from the final points earned.   

One Shot, One Kill:

10 yds Shooter has 5 attempts (each hits are 5 pts on Steel) Draw and fire 1 rds w/in 1.5 sec or faster
Reload with 5 rd and holster

MATH: Each hit on the target hitting within 1.5 second will be given 5 point to the shooter.
