It doesn't actually make one a gunfighter, of course - it just certifies that someone has met a pretty tough standard.
Thoughts?
My thoughts are that it's a good idea, but...

Be prepared to have some folks say it's too easy, some to say it's not tactical enough, some to say it's unsafe and lot's of folks ignore it because it's too hard.

If you can relate it directly to a well documented private citizen self defense incident, it will be easier for people to accept.

The term Gunfighter is a little over the top. Maybe you can call it the Well Rounded Confident CHL Standard.

There's the FAST, the old FAM, the FBI PQC 09 and (Lord help us) the Combat Master. Make yours different, relevant and interesting and it might take off.
