USNA Pistol Qualification Course Of Fire Prior to
2005. On the pistol range, Plebes shoot in the standing position. Silhouette targets are posted 25 meters down range from the firing line. The pistol qualification course of fire consists of 30 shots fired in a session. This 30 shot session is shot twice for a possible score of 150 points.
In preparation, Plebes fire a 40 round practice session and then pull their silhouette targets and hang new ones. They then shoot two 30-round qualification sessions. After the two sessions, the pistol coaches score the silhouette targets and figure out who has not yet qualified at that point. Coaches take those Mids and give them a remedial round where they will shoot another 30 round qualification session.
Pistol hand grip and position techniques may vary. The Weaver position is very popular. The isosceles triangle position is also widely used among IDPA competitors and law enforcement officers across the country. Pistol Qualification Scores

The
pistol qualification target used is the 25 meter B21X Reversed "Standing Man"
Silhouette. It is 23" wide and 35" high with a 5X
centershot ring. The silhouette is light tan with a black background
making it easier to focus on sight alignment and the pistol's front sight
post. The highest possible score on this target is 150 points (30 shots
times 5). Although this is a K & D Target - scoring this
target uses the indicated "K" values. The "D" values
are not counted.
