It seems to me that this should be the test.
Negative. That was given in the rules as a guide, however someone asked Q&A(I think a search through the Rules/Strategy forum should turn up a few threads on this) and recieved an answer to the effect of, "we're still trying to decide which one or combination of the following (list of methods)". Using this method as a test is also risky because you need to account for shooter height when you do it, otherwise tall shooters will complain that short shooters can shoot faster.
