It shouldn't take you more than .15 sec longer to flick the gun between targets than it does to just hit the same target again. There's 4 such moves. That's .60 second. It shouldn't take you longer than .30 second for a repeat shot, to stay inside the C zone, with half your shots in the A zone, even with a lw, compact gun, and seriously recoiling ammo. There are 10 such shots. So that totals 3.60 seconds, and those times can be cut to .17 second between repeat hits, and .25 second between targets, without much work at all. That total is then 2.70 seconds. A reaction, 180 degree pivot draw from concealment (starting at surrender with the hands) and a C zone hit at 10 yds, is no big deal in 1.50 seconds, at all, and it can be done in as little as 1.20 second, without a lot of work. A concealed mag swap is no big deal in 2 seconds flat, either, but say, 2.5 seconds. Add 3.60 and 4 seconds, the total is 7.60 seconds, with a score of over 54. Yet turning in such a performance is WAY beyond what most people can do. In fact, many an A class peformer can't do this, with a FASTENED coat or sweater or shirt as the concealing garment, a lw Commander, and full charge ball ammo. Since well over 3/4 of all justified shootings occur at 10 ft or less, and well over 95% occur inside 10 yds, I don't worry about half of the shots 'only" hitting the gut at 10 yds.
