I am told that my son shot a 120 on the POST course today. He cleaned it.
That's what I'm talking about.
Edit: Louisiana uses a target we call the P1 and as far as I know, we're the only state in the union that uses it. Anything inside the "P" circle counts as 2 points, anything outside the "P" counts as one. Anything else is a zero. Our course is 60 rounds, starting at 25 yards and moving to two yards. It's not a terribly difficult course of fire, but it's not terribly easy either. From any 50 shooters, you'll find one or two that can consistently shoot a 120, the vast majority shoot around 100-110 and the rest get retrained if their score is under 96 (80%).

Doesn't it just feel wonderful to have kids you're proud of? One of the best feelings in the world.

Gerry, It's pretty awesome to have a husband to be proud of too! Yay Joey!
That is a strange target. I guess I'm just used to the B27 targets.
Hmmm....linkee no workee.
The one we shoot on in Oregon is your basic half-man-silhouette with a faintly-drawn kill zone about 8 inches wide and 15 inches high. Anything inside the K-Zone counts, anything outside, doesn't (no head shots count). You need 100% in the KZ to qualify. Full-time troops get to shoot a 50-round qual course, starting at 12 yards and moving, in 5 stages, in to two yards.
We LEOSA people get to shoot the same stages, but with less rounds, for a total of 25 rounds. We still need the perfect score.
The full-time qual has magazine changes at almost every stage, and it has several holster, fire, re-holster drills. Holstering means complete re-holstering with all retention devices engaged. We geezers only get two of those drills, and do not have to use L3 holsters, only L1.
There is supported-barricade shooting, including with the off-hand, and un-supported shooting, including with the off-hand.
The final stage is done at field interview distance of just over a yard, and on the command, you chuck your notebook into the perp's face, draw and fire two. Very realistic.
If you toss a round outside the K-Zone, you are allowed to re-fire, but you drop out of that course and fire the whole thing over. You get two re-fire opportunities before disqual. The only times I've had to re-fire is on Stage One, the 12-yard barricade, shooting weak hand supported, peeking from behind the barricade, which forces me to use my off-eye to aim with. Those times I forget to close my strong eye, I usually miss.
