The I.C.E. Course of Fire "MPD-9mm" version uses this standard target.
Stage 1: Strong-Side Barricade Drill
(4 Rounds)

You will start with three (3) 15-round magazines or three (3) 17-round magazines filled with only fifteen (15) rounds each.

Now place one (1) of the magazines in your non-shooting hand and the two (2) additional 15-round magazines into your “front” and “rear” magazine pouches, respectively.
