Thanks for the picture, but this isn't 8 rounds:

Maybe you posted the wrong pic? Besides, the challenge is for 20 rounds.

You'll excuse me if I'm having trouble believing this.

This is what the fastest 12 shots on a single target, using a revolver, with a reload, looks like:

In case you don't recognize him, that's Jerry Miculek. He did it in 2.99 seconds and that's the current world record. And, his group is not as small as yours. So, you'll understand why I have difficulty when you say that you've beat his time, more than once. It's even more difficult when you say you're shooting that fast, at 25 yards and keeping the group smaller than 3".

I am curious though, if you shoot as good as you say you do, why aren't you winning the USPSA national championship every year? You are clearly the best shot on the circuit.

Nevertheless, this thread is as much about integrity as anything else. So, when you say you did it, I'll take you at your word. However, this thread is about a challenge I posted in the OP. I've never claimed to be a great shot, but I did post a target that meets the challenge. Some others have posted their targets. There's no reason, based on your speed, that you can't post a target that meets the criteria of the OP. Yes, it's boring, but it should be easy for you and would only take about 5 minutes to accomplish.

So, why not do it? You're at the range twice a day. You have the ammo, time and range at which to do it. Again, I look forward to the target.
