5ft Fast Draw Standing BB

About this Rule​

This competition rule and its target were created for AIRSOFT SPOTTER, inspired by the WFDA (World Fast Draw Association) Standing Blanks competition rules. The content of this rule significantly differs from the official WFDA rules. For the official WFDA rules, please visit the World Fast Draw Association - Rule Book.

Fast Draw Standing BB measures reaction time, draw, and first-shot accuracy from a holstered start. At the signal, competitors fire as fast as possible; time to first hit is the score. The total time of five shots determines the final score.
