I just ran this twice.
My best time was ~28.35 (I don’t remember exact but it’s on video) with one miss. By my
Math that’s 39.35?
My second was ~31.5 sec with no misses. Which I guess is 43.5?
I’m out here at the Range I’m gonna try one more time cuz I know I can get 25 with no misses.
ETA ran it a third time. 24.42 with no misses. Got it all on a GoPro and 2 witnesses.

Eurodriver, can't say when it'll be, but because I *know* I'm gonna suck I'm gonna offer my own scores for posting as a benchmark about "you REALLY suck if you can't beat Tactical Newman." lol

Cool! Good marksmanship drill. Did you try it support sided too by chance? In my case, I see better when I shoot left, but I run the gun better on my right, I suppose partly because of the controls on the rifle. I'm cross eyed dominant which is a PIA sometimes.
That begets two suggestions. First, Chief, maybe see about some kind of offset cantilever rig to bring the sights over so you can "shoot right but look left" like cross-dominant Marine and Gold Medalist Bill McMillan used to do by tilting his 1911s about 45 degrees in Olympic competition? (I usually use this myself when firing support hand.) Maybe 45-degree offset irons might help you too.
Second, re the course of fire, maybe add a second run off-side at like half- or 3/4-weight? (Say, if "Par" is 25 seconds strong-side maybe 33-50 off-side.)

I've resisted setting up my rifle with a unique sighting set up or lots of ambi controls for this reason: If I have to use a different rifle than my own, its likely not to have all the extras. I feel I need to be sufficient with a rifle that only has standard controls. The only thing I have added to mine is a ambi selector and a 12 o'clock mounted light switch. I shoot ok right eyed, just better left eyed. It's more of an issue when shooting a handgun actually.
Gotcha. Would maybe a left-side tilt, "fixing" with meatware rather than hardware like the McMillan Tilt with pistols, be a viable possibility? (As a lefty, I don't use BAD Levers since I can smack the bolt catch with support hand once I've stuffed the mag in--and I like ambi mag catches on my pistols but not rifles; if I'm shooting with a rifle I have a little response time but my pistols are built for CQB where every millisecond counts.)

I like that running drill Euro, especially as I don't need to worry about getting wet here :P I'm curious to see how I do at that and the Navy Qual.
All I know is Euro is shooting his guns, as usual, and walking the walk
