The New FBI Qualification Course
Every government agency likes to think they're the best. So whether or not you're a fan of the FBI, there is one thing the Bureau is good at… and that's keeping statistics on shootings.
Over the years, the FBI has documented and studied thousands of shootings, and in January of this year the FBI changed its qualification course based on the feedback of these shootings.
In short, the old course involved shooting at far distances as much as 50 yards, but the new course focuses on close quarters shooting since the majority of gunfights occur at seven yards or less.
So if you're looking for a good course of fire and want to see if you have what it takes to join the FBI, I've included the FBI's new qualification course below:

• Target used is the QIT-99
• Course consists of a total of 60 rounds
• Each round counts as one point
• Any hits inside the target area count
• You must draw from concealment for every string of shots
• Passing score for Agents is 48 out of 60

Stage 1: 3 yard line

• 3 rounds in 3 seconds using your strong hand only
• 3 rounds in 3 seconds using your strong hand only
• 3 rounds using strong hand only, switch hands, 3 rounds using support hand only all in 8 seconds

Total of 12 rounds for Stage 1
Stage 2: 5 yard line

From here on out, all shooting is done with two hands

• 3 rounds in 3 seconds
• 3 rounds in 3 seconds
• 3 rounds in 3 seconds
• 3 rounds in 3 seconds

Total of 12 rounds for Stage 2
Stage 3: 7 yard line

• 4 rounds in 4 seconds
• 4 rounds in 4 seconds
• Have two magazines loaded with four rounds each. Fire four rounds, reload, fire another four rounds in 8 seconds.

Total of 16 rounds for Stage 3
Stage 4: 15 yard line

• 3 rounds in 6 seconds
• 3 rounds in 6 seconds
• 4 rounds in 8 seconds

Total of 10 rounds for Stage 4
Stage 5: 25 yard line

This stage involves the use of a barricade/cover)

• Move to cover and fire 2 rounds standing, then 3 rounds kneeling all in 15 seconds
• Move to cover and fire 2 rounds standing, then 3 rounds kneeling all in 15 seconds

Total of 10 rounds for Stage 5

Great, don't you need to serve at least 2 years in a local police force or something similar before even being considered (if you're applying for field work)?

it says "any hits inside the target area count".. Any idea if the target area is defined as the two outlines drawn within the torso and head, or the entire 18"X28" silhouette?

I'm gonna say whole silhouette. That's the norm. Now if these guys can do that course only hitting inside the boxes ....wow

It the "kill zone" within the silhouette. This kill zone is shaped like a bowling pin. A hit to the arm or shoulder is a miss

 

[Nikstorm]

But it says within the target area. On the target the target area seems to be the silhouette.

Thats what im thinking... within the silhouette seems reasonable, if not easy.. within the outlines seems exceptionally difficult.

 

[Strat688]

In looking at the target itself, it is, in essence, the bowling pin kill area, without a body outline around it

 

[sherm66]

Aim small. Miss small. Much of this is already incorporated on local PD qualifications with regards to times, number of rounds per drill and strong hand/weak hand drills.

 

[Nikstorm]

I want to be able to shoot that course hitting withing the squares.

 

[CHERRY911]

Inner pin shape is for score shaded area is out

 

[TestDrv321]

Interesting info. Thanks for the share.

 

[bigbore44]

Does their training include how to leave your M4 in the trunk of a very popularly stolen car, in a questionable neighborhood? LOL!

Couldn't pass that up, sorry.

 

[FULL METAL JACKET]

This is basically an IDPA/ USPSA match

They forgot to mention the two free-form pump action shotgun blasts from the balcony, lol.
