Practice Deck 1.0 FAQ (beta edition)

This is the FAQ for the Beta version of Practice Deck 1.0



For start position, is it always facing downrange unless specified?


Downrange is what's intended. Its generally faster than facing somewhere else. Don't let that stop you from experimenting with other things - but the "prescribed" drill is facing downrange unless otherwise specified.


2, 3, 4, 9, 10, J, K of Clubs: Does "alternate start box" mean for every string or each rep?


In each case, there's only one string per rep - so, alternate where you start each rep.


2 of Clubs: Do you stop at the 2nd box, or keep running back and forth from box to box until you've shot 10 rounds?


You keep running back and forth. Its a total of 9 sprints per rep, and you shoot from each box 5 times on each rep. Same thing with the 3 of Clubs. It'll get your heart moving!


8 of Clubs: just want to make sure that T2 is engaged from box B, and T3 from box C; not T2 from C and T3 from B


It should be T2 from C, and T3 from B. Alternately, the back box should be labeled B, and the right box should be labeled C. Basically, shoot the target that's directly in front of the box.


5 of Spades: Alternate starting sides of barricade?


I would - but I didn't feel like I needed to specify it on that drill. Shoot it as you like. I might make that change, though...


10 of Spades: can you use strong/weak hand as support on barricade when shooting with opposite hand?


It kind of depends upon how sturdy your barricade is! But... I wouldn't recommend it. Its going to be slower, in the end. The engagement around each side is relatively easy, so... The drill doesn't care if you do it, though...


Scoring: When a drill is "score each", do you score each rep and then add the reps to get one final score, or do you keep each rep's score seperate?


I'll have to reword that on the key card. Add the times up at the end for the total drill time.
