I'm an oldster (70) shooting steel challenge. My draw speed is what it is pulling a FS 9mm from surrender out of a holster, probably 1.5 seconds for a 12" plate at 7 yards, the biggest plate I have for practice. I'm not looking to get faster, but I'm trying to master tuning my draw according to shot difficulty.
I've learned that it's most critical to have a good initial sight picture; once I start tweaking the sight picture I find my probability of miss goes up measurably.
I know everyone's draw is a bit different but I'm wondering at what point in the draw do you slow things down go get that good sight picture. I'm thinking as soon as I've acquired the front sight (which is well before I'm on the target). What doesn't work for me is snapping the gun out "on" the target and then having to improve the sight picture.
All drill suggestions welcome.
