daves_not_here Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Try this drill with dry-fire safety measures in place. Go through draw motions without actually grabbing the gun. Make sure you register your hand on your gun as if you would draw. Complete the draw with empty hands. It should feel effortless to go through the motions without the gun. Do this five times. Now try to do a draw with the gun. I got to a 0.9 second draw from concealment this way. I think it was mostly a mental block. How did it work for you? Does anyone know if this has been posted before? DNH Edited January 16, 2013 by daves_not_here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves_not_here Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Down to 0.8 seconds from concealment. I've been alternating between the empty hand and with the gun. It's helping me to relax and be more efficient. I noticed I really wasn't using my support arm with the presentation. DNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefly Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like this idea. It's almost like throwing in a dummy round in your magazine to see if you flinch. I will give this a shot today to see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooyahdesigns Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 willing to give this a try also. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klemmer Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Sounds like a winner. After your five 'dry' reps, how many times do you perform the complete draw stroke? Is this like 5 dry, 5 complete, lather-rinse-repeat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtr3 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Great idea. Gonna try it and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosa Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Even better than doing it with empty hands is to just do a few reps slow focusing on economy of effort and what that feels like.. After a few reps crank it up to match speed, while chasing the effortless and smooth feeling of the slow draws.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
