After an extended period absent from the range, looks like I'll be there again Saturday and will try it.... the 7 yard mark is a problem area for me.

I love it when I get to the 7 yd shots, because at my range the target is very poorly lit at 3 yd and 5 yd. If I make it clean to the 7 yd shots, I move into the bright light. If I miss it's usually on the 10 yd.

Nice target.
Just in case anyone was wondering, nothing wrong with using an RMR. You can carry a gun with an RMR and I have. I'm not a big fan of them on pistols, but hey, everyone has what works for them.

It wasn't meant as a disqualifier, just full disclosure.

Not one of the challenges, but...
The other day one of my buddies mentioned the FBI Q course, so I went to the range the other morning and since I was alone, the RSO ran the timer for me. G19 shooting from concealment.

So...was that good or bad? I see a bunch of holes, but what's the course of fire, and what's the scoring?

By the FBI rules, blackhorse2010's target was very good. He got 100%. He should have posted this in Rastoff's Challenge II though because that's the one with time limits.
However, just like the Challenge II, the FBI Q test is super easy. It's 60 rounds. All shot strings are started from concealment. You can read the course of fire here: Shoot Like the Pros: The New FBI Qualification Course of Fire - The Truth About Guns

Thanks Rastoff--The shooting sounds pretty easy, all that drawing not so much. I've never shot any place that lets you draw, so I haven't done much of it. I've practiced some at home with a cleared gun, but really not a lot.
Nice job blackhorse2010.

Well, let's face it, if you carry a gun for protection, you need to learn to present it from concealment. Otherwise, how will you defend yourself?

From your original post back in March 2015 - "I know you can't beat me, but can you even come close? PROVE IT!!! (There might be a prize involved).
Right, can't beat you but I am happy considering I used a Shield 9, not a 1911, 73 years old, have serious cataracts and wear glasses that are stronger than some telescopes.

This was the very first 20 shots ever with my brand new Walther PPQ .45. Almost made it. There's 2 shots in the "flyer' group. One of the 7 yarders was so close I'm still not sure if it's touching, but one of the 10 yarders definitely broke the line. What a sweet trigger on this gun. I'm sure it won't take long to pass the challenge with this one.

I don't know how I missed this before...
You may not have "beat" me, but that's some really good shooting! You can shoot with me anytime.Right, can't beat you but I am happy considering I used a Shield 9, not a 1911, 73 years old, have serious cataracts and wear glasses that are stronger than some telescopes.
Finally got out to shoot yesterday, after being cooped up for a while (work, surgery, work).
First 20 rounds with a Shield 9mm and with a Model 10 that I just picked up.
Dragged a rattly old Series 70 Gov't Model out of semi-retirement, and warmed up my 629 Mtn Gun, after its trip to the factory to be sighted in (kidding; it just had some lock-work done).
In response to the current thread "proud of 10 yard groups" I'll say that I'm not proud of these, but might as well own up to my shortcomings. They were also fun to shoot.
There might have been one bad round in the .38 box, and a dog bit me while I was shooting the .44. <smile> The shot that's "out" on the .44 target was the final one; I think my endurance ran out.

MarkL01,
I like that Smith &Wesson rear sight on your 1911. I have a Custom Colt Lightweight Commander with a S&W K-frame rear sight milled into the slide. Helps the accuracy to have a good sight.

Thanks. That was a sporty setup at the time. I've had that gun for over 35 years. I really thought I'd be able to shoot it better than I did yesterday. Maybe practice really does make a difference.
The first .45 I ever shot was a Commander, and I really liked it. Never got around to getting one, though.

Mark,
Some very good shooting there. I'm not surprised that the best group is with the 1911. This is harder than it looks and you did really well.

I need more practice! 
Created my own target with a measured 3" X 2" box and printed it out on 8.5" X 11" paper.
The GLOCK 43 carries like a dream but barks a bit.
The GLOCK 21 nightstand gun is a dream to shoot.
Just for giggles I tried my .22 pistol as well. Oops.
Will try again with my first classic S&W revolver I have coming: a Model 19-3...
