LOLOLOL.........Probably a quarter of that number is true these days. And not because classifiers have become easier. Quite this opposite in fact.
Looking back at it this thread has a few posts that didn't age well.

Yes. And along the way I learned several thingsDid you get to Master yet?
Yes. And along the way I learned several things
Pellet guns, 22 pistols, lasers, airsoft, and dry fire gimmicks that reset the trigger are a complete waste of time and money.
Accuracy and speed can absolutely be learned simultaneously even by someone who's never shot before. It's the absolute fastest path to mastering handguns.
Front sight focus is unnecessary about 95% of the time.
100% of Fudd pistol technique and concepts are wrong.
Along with several other thingsCongratulations. Obviously you've worked hard at it.

It took me somewhere between 30 and 35k rounds to make M last November just basing it on how many primers I've gone through since starting CO in 2020.I didn't keep super accurate track of round count... but I made "A" on about 20k rounds, "M" on about double that, and GM on about double that (so, 80k-ish to GM, for me, give or take), but that belies all the dry fire work, etc, between D->A/M, and just the time. And I wasn't a dry fire over achiever at all, I just did some consistently. I started shooting more bigger matches at A/M, which pushed up my round count - and live fire practice became quite a bit more important for progress once I hit M.
I could've accelerated that more by taking more training, TBH. Training resulted in my biggest leaps up until M. After you hit that point, it can be important, but you've just gotta figure some stuff out on your own in practice, too, at that point.
To your point, totally agree that A in 25k is a pretty easy goal - and yeah, M is probably do-able there, if you do it right.
