How this works: Target must be a SAPA target or IALEFI-Q target. Anyone who attends a training class with Small Arms Pistol Academy LLC will have the opportunity to run the Challenge Standards after the class. If you can meet all 5 with an Intermediate time your name will be added to the list online for bragging rights, it will only show the Top 10 most recent people. If you can meet all 5 drills within Adanced or Expert level you will earn an honorary SAPA challenge coin & your name will be added on the Advanced Pistol or Expert Pistol Challenge Completion list.
NOTE: Novice times essentially are industry standard times. Difficult for a brand new shooter to achieve but should be the goal for every gun owner to reach. Intermediate times are that those who shoot more should try to achieve. Advanced times are of high quality shooters, typically those who have attended additional training classes will strive to reach this level. Expert times are typically the type of shooting times expected when attending training classes with some world class organizations. Expert level is for the top 2% of firearm owners. Anyone is able to attempt this challenge; however, the only way to earn the coin or have your name added to the list, you MUST preform the standards at one of the Training Classes offered by SAPA.
