    Fastest I've ever put down was a .81 from concealment aiwb. That was a one off, honestly. I can do .98-ish without much warmup on a mansize target.

    If you open the target area up, sure we can all run fast. But for me, my hits must be acceptable and at 7 yards, it's an 8" circle. When I stop seeing the sights, I can get as fast as 1.1-1.3 but I cannot ever recall breaking the 1 second barrier.

    I mandate the seeing of the front sight prior to breaking my shots.

    I was asking about draw times to the 3x5 in the FAST test. The 1.1- 1.3 to the credit card you mentioned seems insanely fast, that's why I was curious to see your total FAST time.

    Here is a nice video of Mike Pannone getting after it at 10 yards.



    Another with more speed. Looking very smooth.

    Must have missed that in the OP.

    I find the FAST has a few flaws and the overall time is measured by a few variables which are very subjective - clothing, equipment, gun position, etc.

    I think the last time I ran the fast drill was at the greenops class, granted it was cold, raining and I reloaded from concealment as well, I was right under 6 seconds? or was it right at 6.1x? or something? I don't remember exactly.

    I have hit sub 6 seconds in my duty rig a few times, have not done it recently though.

    Lots of folks conflate what they have done with their on demand ability. I remember my peak performances almost forever, and can forget screw ups immediately.

    At USPSA matches, I see really good shooters in the 1.3 range for the draw. Of course, they are balancing the upside of a fast draw with the downside of shooting a string with a bad draw.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    The one time draw speed mattered in life, I had my entire life to get it done.

    My draw time that put me on the "FAST Wall of Fame" was 1.97 seconds, and my ultimate run was a 4.81.

    Focusing on solid fundamentals and practice will get done what you want/need to get done whether it be for SD or Competition. Worrying over minutia has you chasing but one very insignificant goal in a situation where bigger and better concerns await. But that's just me.

    I think what he was wanting to know is was what your draw to first shot time was on the FAST drill....

    I see that's what's this is going to now, but that's not what was in the OP...

    Either way, having goals and personal standards that change over time and become more aggressively difficult is the best method for allowing yourself to progress.

    OP: what's your draw time?

    General consensus: depends on target and mode of carry

    Voodoo: says A zone 7 yard draws are under 1.0 seconds. Says 7 yard draws to FBI coke bottle (bigger than A) is .8-.9. Says drills with multiple strings including shots to a credit card (smaller than 3x5) is 1.1-1.3.

    Me: voodoo seems to have lots of data on his training, so I ask what his draw time was too a 3x5 (FAST) because of his draw to a credit card is 1.1-1.3, that's smokin, and I'd be interested to know his total time.

    Voodoo: Luke is drifting from the OP.
