The I.C.E. Course of Fire "Master" version uses this standard target.
Stage 1: Bent Elbow Drill
(30 Points)
Target Position: 1.5 Yards / 4.5 Feet
You will start with one (1) 17-round magazine in your non-shooting hand after placing the two (2) additional 17-round magazines in your “front” and “rear” magazine pouches, respectively. Place an additional single round provided to you by the range safety officer(s) in your uniform pants pocket. Once directed to do so, draw and load your firearm with the 17-round magazine in your non-shooting hand by pointing the firearm safely downrange and “tapping,” “racking,” then holstering it. (Ensure your firearm is securely “snapped in” as well.) At this point, remove the loose round from your uniform pants pocket. Now administratively remove the 16-round magazine from your firearm and insert the one (1) round in your hand into it. Complete the setup process by now securely placing the 17-round magazine you just loaded into your holstered firearm.
