This is just running the FAST ten times using your strong hand only for the draw, reload, and all shots fired. A description of the FAST is located here: http://pistol-training.com/fastest

Only run this week's drill if you have formal professional instruction in the proper way to draw and reload using only your strong hand and you are confident you can do so safely.

There are a variety of things that can go wrong if you don't know what you're doing and some of those "wrongs" involve bullets entering your body.

Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

- Gun and holster used
- Draw and reload for each run
- Total score for each run (including penalties for misses)

Clearly I should not have put that first run on the timer :) It has been a while since I have done one handed reloads and it showed. Things definitely got better as they went along. In all of the times I have done one handed work in classes, I don't recall it ever being on the timer. Of course with a line full of people safety is the primary concern. This was good to practice. After doing so poorly on the time for the one handed draws, I went on to practice just that for a while. This was a good session for me to do today as I have a lump on the inside of my support side wrist and got to give it a break for these.

Gun and holster used: Glock/ATEI Roland Special, Bawidamann Gotham

When I pushed speed missed shots,
Pretty simple :)

Glad I didn’t miss the head shots too much but made more sure to hit well versus when I had the bigger target...
