Phase 2 — Timed Fire
5 rounds in 20 seconds, at 25 yards, building to a scored match test.
Two 5-round strings, 20 seconds each, at 25 yards.
| Stage | Target | Standard | Advance when… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timed Fire Group Shooting | Blank | ≤5.5″ dia. (L-9) | 2 consecutive 10-rd L-9 groups |
| Timed Fire One-Shot Drills | Small training target, 3-sec exposure | All shots in black | 2 consecutive 10-rd targets, all in black |
| Timed Fire Group Shooting (refine) | Small training target | All shots in black | 2 consecutive 10-rd targets, all in black |
| Timed Fire Match Simulation | Standard scoring target | 10-ring | 10 hits in the 10-ring within 10 shots |
| Test: Timed Fire Match | Standard, scored, no assistance | 2×10-rd combined | New shooter 196 / Old shooter 198 (of 200)¹ |
One-shot drills exist to groove the mental program and first-shot delivery — pay attention to recovery (getting the sights back on target) after each shot, not just the hit itself. If the test isn’t mastered, return to the Timed Fire Match Simulation stage and re-master it before retesting.
