Saturday's Open student got down to a .7 draw (from a start of 1.3) at 5 yards and .8 at 10 in 30 minutes.
He shook his head in disbelief the whole time!
We coulda got his turn and draw down to .8 but we decided .9 was good enough for one day.
We also fixed his problem of losing the dot... that took about 15 minutes of index work.
And we learned that I need a new metronome to teach transitions...
Keep working on relaxing those elbows and fix that pause in the reload.
It also marked the first time I have ever told a man he had a good snatch. (you had to be there)

I think Pandora has a can of worms in this box.

How many total in the club? Maroon 5?

Guys, this is gonna be awesome...In training to get back into competition I've made some interesting discoveries that I can't wait to show you!

My sincerest condolences...

Do you mean more than dry firing, or more than dry firing while watching tv?

That's awesome! And what you might not realize is that it might not be the weak hand thing at all that made the improvement. (It may be)
What really made the improvement was:
a. self analysis
b. changing something
Just for fun, get all that going at the very first sound of the timer. It's .9 time!

My place, evenings and weekends, $75. (My place is 10 minutes south of Columbus, Ohio)
Minimum 2 hrs. Maximum 2 shooters at a time.
I will diagnose weaknesses in your technique, then help you learn how to practice.
You will learn the techniques I used to make GM in less than a year in Open.

The match will reveal what needs work.
Practice (correct practice) makes it better.
In the beginning, you'll shoot better in practice.
Later, you'll shoot better at the match.

You come see me.
Seriously, the dry fire fire sessions have been going great, and I want to brag a little.
My last student went from a 1.3 draw at 7 yards to a .8 in about 15 minutes... Out of the paddle holster that comes with the XDM.
At 10 yards, we got down to .9
Turn and draw? Cut it in half, from 2 seconds to 1.
So drop me a line and let's get serious!

Being fast comes from eliminating all wasted movement in a given technique, and repeating it until it is done subconsciously.
It doesn't feel like waiting, although it can feel slow.
In practice, obsess over how long it takes you to do things.
At the match, just shoot. Forget about time. Yours, and everyone else's.
There is nothing you can do to be faster than you are on match day, so you might as well just shoot.
-
Or you could spend years and waste a bunch of ammo trying to figure it out yourself.

Don't worry about me. I'm learning what comes back and how after a five year break. Every match is a learning experience. Fun. The bullets are about half gone.
I expect you'll know when they're all gone.
-
I tell ya what... maybe you should hire me to shoot every match with you. That always seems to improve your accuracy. I'll do it cheap!
-
The dot never really stops...the key is timing the arc of the dot with an acceptable sight picture. I like to explain it like following the bouncing ball when it apprears over song lyrics on a screen. That might help.
This is why I've never preferred the slower powders...they remove vertical movement and replace it horizontal movement that is more difficult to predict.

Someone should change the date in the title to avoid confusion...

If you go back and look at old concert footage, Dave's voice is actually better overall now. His delivery is about the same, and he has good nights and bad nights. But when they open with "Unchained"...wow.

What a great match. Highly recommended. the higher stage and round count makes it feel like a regional match, so it'd be great for someone who hasn't been to a major.
Plus bonus shenanigan's at hooters. Win Win.

Fun fun fun. Great match!

Maybe Bill needs a faster car.

That's quick. It's tough to dry fire with par time quicker than .60 because at .50 there's just two beeps.

I'm not aware of any, but I'm not really a rules hound.
I usually load 18 in my caspian mags and use 1 mag for 2 strings.
Forget about the clock and call every shot.

By the way, I don't mean to suggest that you shouldn't warm up, just that the OP shouldn't expect it to solve these problems.
That's what I meant by it not having a MAJOR impact on performance.

Practice time at a traditional range worth it?

I don't know what else you could do besides work on shot calling and group shooting...
