No such thing as "Too Late."
Drill:
Load three magazines each with two rounds.
Load one into the pistol, chamber the top round, and holster and snap it down. Put the other two magazines on your belt.
At the signal, from 10 yards, draw, fire 2 shots, reload, fire two shots, reload, fire two shots, for a total of 6 rounds in 12 seconds.
After doing this on a sheet of typing paper, I was told to do it on the head of the silhouette target. I thought that I was ahead on time, and took a little long on squeezing off that LAST round before the targets flipped back to edge-on.
Can you tell which was my last round fired?

You killed The Thin Man.
That's some fine shootin' right there, Tex.
Do a playing card next!

Marko beat me to it... :-) And that IS nice shooting!
Does it count as a hit?
So was that in thru the ear and out thru the nose or vice-versa?
Keith: Yes. It counts.
Homebru: POI is at the nose. When the targets turn, they make a right-face, or turn (looking from above) 90 degrees clockwise.
You should try for a guest spot on "Impossible Shots". I think you might give Bob Munden a run for his money.
Good shooting Matt.

I think your title, "No such thing as 'Too Late'" is a good one.
Yes, the target had started turning when you fired that last shot. Back when I was active in national IPSC competition, on ranges with turning targets, the rule was, "any bullet hole as much as two bullet diameters in length is counted as a miss." Good enough, I suppose. When the outcome of A Game is at stake, there needs to be some method of assessing a numerical score.
In the midst of a violent social confrontation, though, it matters little if the adversary is in the process of making a turn. Job One is to MAKE HIM STOP WHAT HE'S DOING. In such a training situation, I think it is proper to count that as a good hit.
