[Wilsoncreek]

Great drill! I'm going to give this a go ASAP

My daughter Hilde tried out part 1 a couple of weeks ago. After receiving the PM and going through part 2, she reports:

• Average scores improved by more than 1 second
  
• The outer split times (between T3 and T1) were almost the same as the inner splits!
  

Good one, Brian! (and Hilde)

Have to give this one a go, next time at the range.

Thanks

Disclaimer: I shoot 3-gun where 2 on brown is good enough and for the most part, pistol is sort of an after thought. But I'm thinking about dipping my toes in some local USPSA matches and know I need to change my approach with the handgun.

I shot 4 sets of 10 stings.

Confirmed a few things I knew;

Smooth is fast;...and I'm not near as smooth as I thought I was!

Get your hits;... when I settled myself down and shot with discipline (half way thur 3 & all of 4), I seen my sight the whole time and scored all A's. Although it seemed a lot slower (a 1.6 draw will do that), I averaged a -2.11 better score!

I need more quality practice;...= don't outrun my sight!

Good drill, I learned from it.

PM on the way for part 2. (hope to gain the 1-2 seconds some others got,...I can use it!)

[Primo]

Did the drill 3 days this week.

1st day avg= 8.16

2nd=7.91

3rd= 7.70

very good drill, learned from it

[fastarget]

A couple of questions if I may:

I was dry firing part 2 as per BE in the garage, I noticed that I am seeing the A zone very clearly but after a few repetitions, that was where my focus was the sight was there on target but blurred after several repetitions. I did feel like I could get into a smooth rhythm it feels slow but actually is faster. What am I doing what do I need to correct?

On the range I had a chance to do the drill once before I got called back to work, it was very close to my best time, I will go back in the morning. However, that first and only drill, did not have the out of focus front sight syndrome, I think it was looking from the serrations in the cardboard to the sight and back and forth.

I'll reply via PM since I'd like to keep part 2 details out of this thread.

Did part one, found my baseline, now looking forward to part 2.

[oak hill]

Good drill! Looking forward to working part 2

[TexasShootR]

Sent you a PM Brian, shot 8 strings with an average of 9.6 sec. Interesting, my slowest time was 9.25 and my fastest was 8.50. Thats less than a second apart for all strings. Slow but consistent

[Mat Price]

ok this was fun and gave me something new to do.

10 strings 4.8 avg ( shooting the Friday night plate match and plate practice has realllllly helped my transition speed. 5 8" plates 10 yards 3.04 seconds)

can't wait to see part 2

pm inbound B!

Brian, is there a secret password to get in on this ? No worries if it is trade secret! I am not doing much live fire practice right now, mostly garage dry fire drills. I love what you have created and thank you for this forum world you have created.

Brian, I actually found #1 through a Google search. Thank you!!

Shot nine runs today. Average for me, a "C" shooter. 8.72. I quickly learned that I better move my head and eyes before the gun. (like your book tells me). My best 2 runs were the last two at 8.12 and 8.16.

Later in the afternoon I shot Tuesday Night Steel at Rio and had four solid runs. I had my best ever finish.

I'll be doing this one a lot more often trying to improve. I've been shooting 2 years and still improving at age 65.

PM sent. Looking forward to Part II.

Great drill.....thanks Brian
