Practicing/attempting to work on the perfect press out.
I started off working the press out today at 7 yds slowly. 5 rounds to each of the 6 dots in a typewriter/press six sheet http://pistol-training.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6x2in-circles.pdf. I felt pretty good, but I didn't want to speed up, I really wanted some good slow reps, but I ran out of the circles.
And I had only 25 rounds left, so I decided to really work my press out accuracy. Now I'm sure there are more ways to twist the typewriter/press six drill into knots that will confound my head, but I was being resourceful. I had some left over 'screw up' cards that I made thinking they were 3X5. Well, they were 2X4 and I decided to make the drill even more accuracy driven. I placed the card out at 4 yds and framed it with painters tape.
I took the 'card' and divided in in 5 parts like this. You can obviously do a better job than I did :o:

I fired 5 rounds into each part from position 3, when the hands meet, in a draw stroke. And this is what it looked like when I was done. Not perfect, but it was fun/challenging. I didn't have a timer, but I kept a mental 4 count in my head as I pressed out.
