The drill
- 1
Dry-practice the draw first, with a confirmed-clear gun, until it is smooth.
- 2
On a timer, draw from the holster to a single hit in the circle.
- 3
Start slow and smooth. Only add speed when the hit stays clean.
- 4
Run 5 reps, then try to shave a little time off the par.
The standard
One hit in the circle on every rep, before you ever chase the clock.
Safety: Build this with an instructor first. Live-fire from a holster is an advanced skill; keep the finger off the trigger until the muzzle is downrange and on target.
