The FBI 50-round Qualification

Shooting the current FBI 50-round qualification using the ShootSteel.com target. I first encountered this target in Tom Givens Shotgun Instructor Course and have been using it in recent Short Range matches.

The FBI uses the Q-19 target with a scoring area that measures 20-inches long, the body is 12-inches wide, and the head is 6-inches wide. The FBI scores each shot inside as 2 points and shots outside the target as zero points. 

The ShootSteel.com target's center "B" zone is a 5-inch circle. I used the "B" zone only and dropped two shots outside of it. Using that scoring I fired a 96 out of a total possible 100. 

FBI Agents must shoot 80 points or above on the Q19 target to qualify. FBI Instructors must shoot 90 points or above to qualify. 

The FBI qualification is as follows: 

3 yards 

    - Draw and fire 3 rounds strong hand only, switch hands and fire 3 rounds support hand only, all in 6 seconds 

5 yards 

    - Draw and fire 3 rounds in 3 seconds 

    - From the Ready, fire 3 rounds in 2 seconds 

    - From the Ready, fire 6 rounds in 4 seconds 

7 yards 

    - Draw and fire 5 rounds in 5 seconds 

    - From the Ready, fire 4 rounds, conduct an empty gun reload, and fire 4 more rounds, all in 8 seconds 

    - From the Ready, fire 5 rounds in 4 seconds 

15 yards 

    - Draw and fire 3 rounds in 6 seconds 

    - From the Ready, fire 3 rounds in 5 seconds 

25 yards

    - Draw and fire 4 rounds from Standing, drop to a Kneeling Position and fire 4 more rounds from Kneeling, all in 20 seconds
