Got to try it today. Not as good as I thought I was...lol

PM sent for part 2

I got around to trying Part 2 today and was .67 faster than my fastest time of Part 1. Not bad considering I didn't really get a chance to rehearse the instructions of Part 2. I'll have to dry fire this a bit and get the technique down and try it again.

Thanks, BE!

Looks like a good drill. I will this one out on the weekend.

[Stephen7942]

Gonna try this out tomorrow at the range and give you a PM...

I finally had a chance to try this drill. Keeping concentration throughout is certainly a challenge. I averaged in the mid to high 6's after factoring in misses. I finally put it together on my last run and shot 4.97 clean. I can't wait to see part 2.

I do this drill every time i go to the range. it is the first drill of the day. I always do 7 reps. In a matter of year i am down to 4.03 seconds clean around threeish pusshing the envolpe with maybe 1 c. this is by far the best drill i have ever used for speeding up transtions and teaching your eyes to see faster.

... teaching your eyes to see faster.

There it is!

[Jammer1911]

Well this was tougher than I imagined. My avg for 6 strings was 8.65 counting dropped out of A's penalties. This will be part of my routine from now on. Oh BTW it was Single Stack - Major (175 PF). Thank you Brian!

I finally had a chance to get to the range yesterday and run this drill, and the one thing I can say for me it was a lot tougher then it sounds. I ran the drill 14 times and came up with a average of 7.23 with penalties added. This gives a base to watch over the next year to see my improvement. I can see that I haven't been watching the front sight like I need, and I am sure that will improve with this drill. I look forward to the second part of this drill and how it will keep improving my transitions.

I hope to run these at least once a week and dry fire when I can't. Thanks for help. Pm sent

Average "As only" was 4.76 with a 2.3 draw- vanilla G17 with dawson sights.

Trying to speed up my draw increased my overall time considerably .

I practice seeing my front sight through dryfire a couple of times casually throughout the winter, but I know if I don't get a solid first hit after the buzzer, my grip is probably wonky and my whole string suffers. Despite knowing this, I miss my first shot often.

[BitchinCamaro]

Mr. Eno sent me part 2, and it was not the type of advice I was expecting at all.

I've read it three times over now and I'm extremely excited to get to the range to try this out.

Thank you!

[danjordan78]

6.13 average. Had to do it with the .22 since that's the only way I can train right now. Had at least one miss on almost every string though, but not out by much.

Look forward to the 2nd part!

[Tubguy]

I have only been shooting 1 year. This drill explained a lot to me. As soon as I started calling my shots and seeing the sights lift did the non A's go away. Amazing….

This will be my training for the next couple of weeks now that the temp is finally trying to touch 50*

PM sent for part 2

[emjei]

Did the Drill after an IDPA 12 stage match ..... actually a suggestion on a Man to Man final play....

Do I still get part 2 ???

[BitchinCamaro]

After reading the first page again I realized I derped up the directions and engaged the targets in the wrong order (1,2,3,3,2,1,1,2,3), so my time is totally not valid.

[Pasley]

Shot five strings of this drill today for the first time.

Average draw 1.97

Average raw 7.40

Average adjusted 7.90

I was 1.41 faster on the last string from the first. If I could knock just .50 off that draw it would be a big help in Steel Challenge.

Edited to correct arithmetic.

[Rambo]

Great drill! Thanks!

I'm all over the place...which is ok since that means I have lots of room to improve!

[hermans]

Finally got to the range to try it. My average after adding the time all that C's.......7.37 sec.

Pm in bound for part two.

[Vanniek71]

Ran this Sat with my new gun, found I was over swinging a lot with a heavier gun (10oz heaver empty than my previous)

averaged 8.06 seconds.

Times were all in the 5.5sec to 7sec range just lots of non A hits on most runs. Got better at the end as I got more used to the gun, but still need a lot of work!

[nicholastheczar]

Just did part one and IM for part 2. Good stuff!

[moostapha]

I've been dry firing something like this. Before part 2 it was in the high 6s only counting runs that seemed clean (aggressively scaled dry fire targets at ~20 feet...less than half size). After reading part 2 and with a SIRT that came in today, best runs were just over 5 seconds....the ones with misses still mostly stayed under 6.

That works.
