Yep, lots of guys say that. The response will always be the same from me. Rapid fire (an ambiguous term at best) will hide a lot of sloppy trigger work and flinching. The "challenge" as presented, will accentuate any trigger control anomalies.

You're a good shot Rick. This is about solidifying those fundamentals. Doing this type of shooting every now and then will make for a better shooter all around.

As I stated in the OP, I had never actually done this until I shot the target in the OP. In fact, my own practice generally consists of controlled pairs and failures-to-stop drills. I'm adding this basic shooting back into my routine.

You're never too advanced to work on fundamentals.
