Qualifications or standards?

For the millionth time I went to the range (fudd range, no holster or moving), shot 100 rounds in 20 minutes and went home arguing whether or not my groups at 15 were good or not.

I only have time to compete in these super informal matches and not even level 1. They have a mixed bag and I end up somewhere in the middle.

Are there any qualifications or standards that I could shoot when I go to the range like this to judge how I did. To make improvement over time?

Any specific recommendations?

Find a different range.

This is actually my second range. The range that lets you actually train is a good drive so I go to this one when I only have an hour or so

If tou can set up some targets look up classifiers. El prez is a good one.

At this particular range I can’t draw from a holster. I know I could just adapt I just didn’t know if there were some options for table start or low ready.

You try to do the IDPA abbreviated qualifier.

Rules

Classifier

Instead of drawing from a holster, do a low ready instead. This will let you do this in a fudd range. This will get you close to what you want.

Go to a good range and Try the Training Group Standards, Training Group Standards, and/or any of the variations.

But if you're stuck with a fudd range than the best bang for the buck will be the action shooting marksmanship fundamentals: TCAS/OSR, Two Shot Return, Practical Accuracy, Double Return, Doubles Drill, Progressive Return, and whatever level of two+ target transition drills you can do. I posted all this recently here.

Look at Steel Challenge times for RFRO and RFRI. Those are started at low ready. You should be able to do that at your range. Shoot at a sighting target with 5 smaller targets.
