Hackathorn Standards (288,cold)

The best way to truly test one's skill with any weapon is without a "warm-up". Today Jason, Billy, Looey, and I shot the Hack cold without having done any pistol work in awhile. For me, about a week. I had 2 rounds over time (which is really bad because they were hits), and 1 outright miss, for a total of -12.

I consider it to be the best pistol test ever. It has everything in it, except malfuctions. We use it here as a standard for instructors (275 and above).My history of the test; first time score-281, my lowest ever-276, highest ever-296. I've shot 275 and above with the big three; Beretta 92F, Sig sauer P226, and Glock 17,and I've also matched my highest score (296) with a retention rig (Safariland 6004) as well.
