Friends today I'm doing the IDPA 5 by 5 Qualifier. It was developed by Bill Wilson as a rating system for IDPA Shooter. It also a great drill to practice at the range. It consists of 4 strings and 25 rounds, and all shots are taken from the 10 yard-line, see below:
1st String - Draw and take 5 Shots Freehand to the A-Zone on a Standard IDPA Target
2nd String - Draw and take 5 Shots Strong-hand to the A-Zone on a Standard IDPA Target
3rd String - Draw and take 5 Shots Freehand to an Emergency Reload then reengage with another 5 Shots to the Body of a Standard IDPA Target
4th String - Draw and take 4 Shots to the Body and 1 Shot to the Head-Box of a Standard IDPA Target
Rating can be found on IDPA's Website:

I shot the drill in 24.21 seconds with one penalty, which lands me in the Sharpshooter Territory, in terms of a IDPA Rating's. Overall, it's a great drill and tests many key skills, give it a whirl, and see how you do. Just for reference, to get a Master Rating in ESP, you'd need to do this drill in less 18.75 seconds in total, which is really moving out smartly.
Be Safe, God Bless and Thanks for Watching!
