Honestly though, I can pretty much tell if a student is going to pass or fail within the first 10 shots. Most of the time I don’t even need to count the holes.

Leatham wrote me back and said he'll take the RDS thing as a challenge. He's going to use his USPSA .45 ACP double-stack and go for completion of the CoF with only one hole no bigger than a half-dollar.

But seriously, as an afterthought, I think the RDS option could seriously help encourage some seniors and possibly some folks with conditions like mild Parkinson's or MS. If you're used to the red dot, managing/timing the wobble can be much more accurate to handle than with irons.

Jeepers. As if the LTC qual isn't easy enough to pass with iron sights. I'd have thought they wouldn't allow RDS. Now that I think of it, that might make scoring good shooters handling .45s with an RDS much more difficult. More raged holes where more than one round might have entered. Leaving the scoring instructor with too few punches through paper.

"Sorry. The course of fire required five shots in 15 seconds. You only got three shots on the target."

"But," said Rob Leatham, "I'm certain I hit all five grouped right together!"
