ardo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wow. I work my butt off to make a 1sec draw. You make it look easy, with time to spare... Thanks for posting this, Pat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why is your hand speed slower during the slower par times? Why not maintain a fast/aggressive hand speed to fully mount the gun quickly, then send the extra time refining the sight picture and pressing off a very clean shot? Doing it this way makes your draw stroke and hand speed the same regardless of the difficulty of the shot. The only difference then is how much patience you put into breaking a clean shot without disturbing the sight/dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I gather you are unfamiliar with this drill? I'll write down the particulars in A bit when I get a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 My guess ( pure speculation here from a total noob shooter) is that you are trying to get as close to the par as possible while still staying inside of it? I am going to try this tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry I keep meaning to get back to this thread but always seem too busy lately. The drill for this is to meet but not exceed the par times. I think I first saw it on the Burner tapes but Travis Tomasie demonstrated it and its value at the SHOT show a couple of years ago and its meant to perfect the draw and reduce the draw times in less repetitions than it would normally take. At first, the 2.0 second par time is done with an eye on making everything perfect. Its a half speed draw in essence. Take all the time available to make sure every part of the draw is technically perfect and done at half speed so you can really focus on it. Then as you cut the par times down you (at first) stay focused on maintaining perfect form but at a slightly decreased time available, speeding up perfection. As you continue to to drop the par times you will have to increase the speed of the draw and begin to round the corners off making a smoother and quicker draw stroke. Eventually you will hit a point where you are still drawing perfectly but at max speed. Then you push past this. (Its important to recognize this point though since this will be your match draw speed) Continue to drop the par times pushing yourself to draw quicker eventually to the point where you can just barely get the gun out and mounted on target before the second beep. This will help increase your raw draw speed. I end this drill with some one second draws where I want a clean draw with a perfect A zone sight picture. This usually, for me, is a .8 second draw speed, which is my limit for a clean draw, and a .2 second sight picture to confirm a perfect A shot.
