Phase 4 — Slow Fire (50 yd)
10 rounds, 10 minutes, at 50 yards — extending the fundamentals to distance.
Same discipline as Phase 1, extended to 50 yards. No time limit until the final test.
| Stage | Target | Standard | Advance when… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow Fire Group Shooting | Blank | ≤7.75″ dia. (L-8) | 2 consecutive 10-rd L-8 groups |
| Slow Fire Group Shooting (refine) | Large training target (black = 8-ring size) | All shots in black | 2 consecutive 10-rd targets, all in black |
| Slow Fire Match Simulation | Standard scoring target | 10-ring | 10 hits in the 10-ring within 20 shots |
| Test: Slow Fire Match | Standard, scored, no assistance, 10 rds/10 min | 2×10-rd combined | New shooter 182 / Old shooter 184 (of 200) |
Don’t rush the transition from 25 to 50 yards — the whole point of this phase is proving the same trigger control and body alignment hold up at distance. If the test isn’t mastered, return to the Slow Fire Match Simulation stage and re-master it before retesting.
