Hackathorn Standards Drill Part 2

Hackathorn Standards Drill.

This is a great drill to test a shooters overall skills. It incorporates and promotes or tests a shooters draw, speed and accuracy, footwork, shooting on the move, reloads.

- 60 rounds fired for a total of 300 possible points. NO make up shots.
- Shot on IPSC targets 1y spacing
- IPSC Target A = 5; C = 3; D = 2; Entire Head = 5; Miss = 0
- IDPA Target -0 zone = 5, -1 zone = 3; -3 zone = 2; Miss =0; Entire Head = 5
- All stages are from holster unless otherwise noted.
- 250+ Expert
- 200 - 249 Intermediate
- Below 200 Novice
- Holster and mag holders may be open top style.

NOTES:
- Originally designed for IPSC targets.
- IDPA targets have smaller A Zone and are more difficult. I use the IDPA targets because that is what I have. Hopefully it will make you better. Overlaying an IPSC A zone will show potential IPSC target scores.
- Highest Score Ever; Larry Vickers 298 (This may have changed and a clean score may have been recorded)
- Highest First Time Score: Rob Leatham 290
- Jerry Barnhart's First Time Score: 277
- Kyle Defoor Cold Score (not first time): 288

I do not wish to put myself in the above company of great shooters so I will separate my results: Note all of my scores are IDPA targets.
Best score ever (cold score): 294
This video: 270 (I probably should have shot the 20 and 25 yard line up and up and not rushed to get off the range as I had a very good score going)

Thanks for posting this video, good job. I just shot the Hakathorn Standards for the first time yesterday and scored 264. I think I rushed it a bit and will try to slow down next time and use more of the available time. Keep up the good work.

I did the same thing and found myself rushing when I first started running this drill, or even other drills. Getting the timing down definitely helps. I was finally able to shoot a cold score of 294 on IDPA targets, but I haven't shot the drill in some time. I like to go back and revisit some drills completely cold without recent practice of them and see how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video's!

Like your videos, man, so thanks for posting them. I shot the Hackathorn standards for the first time today and thought it was a good skills test. But I think the IDPA classifier is more comprehensive. Have you shot that one as well?

@SuperSetCA

Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoy the video's! The IDPA classifier is based off of the Hackathorn so they have stages that are very similar. I do not shoot competitively but I admit that I have shot the IDPA classifier a couple of times just to see where I might stand. I have planned to shoot the IDPA classifier as a video, but work has me pretty tied up right now.

Thanks again for watching!

@ssdsurf One other tool that you may find useful is the Hackathorn Carbine Classifier. It has a similar COF to the IDPA classifier but shot at greater distance and very accuracy oriented. You can find it online through search.
