I just found a drill by Ken Hackathorn were he's using a NRA 5-yard bullseye center target. Anyone know how big that target is?

thanks

25 yd NRA bulls are 5.5", black is 9 and 10 ring.

FYI- All NRA targets are the width of the front sight on the weapon (pistol or rifle) intended for that course of fire at the distance intended for that course of fire.

Hey guys, thanks for the reply.

Kyle,
I did not know that. thanks that's good info.

No the drill actually says five-yard bullseye centers, and he's placing them at 10 yards.

The drill is named "Three Target Test" if that helps. I tried looking it up and came up empty.

The drill is intended to show the student how important the fundamentals are.
He gets to shoot it 3 times with the first string giving him 2.5 minutes to shoot it. Then 10 seconds for string 2 and 5 sec for string 3.

If he can't shoot it clean in 2.5 minutes the latter results are a given.

If I had to guess I would say the target is about 6" but that's an assumption.

I tried the link but its dead.

The link pointed to a 3 part .pdf file with about 100 different drills from a number of instructors, including some very well known ones.
When printed out the stack of paper is about an inch thick.

After the comments I got I would agree with you, I think he fat fingered the description.

Thats good to know.

How was "The Test" drill different?

I wasn't that far off guessing 6", when the B8 has 5.5" black target area.

For pistols with a magazine capacity of 10+ rounds, "the Test" is 10 rounds in 10 seconds from 10 yards. It is performed from the ready position. If you have a single stack pistol, it is 8 rounds in 10 seconds from 10 yards, but from the holster. I have seen it scored by the rings and also by the number in and out of the black and the time. LAV uses this also.
