Total Rounds
Stage 4 fires 6 rounds from low ready at 5 yards with a 4-second par time. This is the volume string at close range — same starting position as Stage 3, but double the round count with double the time.
The pace here is more forgiving than Stage 3, but the trap is complacency. Six rounds means six opportunities to throw a shot if your recoil management degrades as the string progresses. Shooters who start fast and finish sloppy lose points here.
Range Setup
Setup
Stand facing the FBI-QIT-99 target at 5 yards. Pistol loaded and held in a two-handed low ready position. Shot timer set.
Scoring
Any hit inside the scored area of the FBI-QIT-99 counts as 1 point (max 6). Part of the overall 50-round qualification — passing requires 40/50 (80%).
Tips
Consistent recoil management across all 6 rounds is the key. If your last two shots drift low or off-target, your grip is fatiguing — strengthen it.
Progression
Use this stage to build rhythm. Goal: 6 hits with consistent 0.5-second splits. Practice maintaining the same grip pressure from first shot to last.
