I think you guys are getting a little too hung up on this. The fact is, as an instructor, I don't care whether you shoot from low ready, on target, draw from concealment, or standing on your head. All I care is that you SAFELY shoot the course of fire from the required distances and in the time allowed.
My thought is the DPS did not design the course of fire to actually test your shooting abilities. The test is far too easy for that. They only want you to demonstrate that you can follow instructions and safely operate your firearm.

I have taught new shooters, experienced shooters, handicapped shooters, and I have never had anyone fail the shooting test. They haven't all passed the first time, but they all somehow passed before the 3rd time. And when it's all done - that's all that matters.

Of course, these are my own personal opinions. Your mileage may vary.

The DPS did change the target, effective Jan 1, 2006, to the one you see here. The course of fire has remained the same.
