    Week 196: Jerk The Trigger

    Week 196: Jerk The Trigger

    Results may be posted until January 23rd, 2017.

    Designed by: Gabe White
    Range: 5, 10, 15, and 25 yards
    Target: NRA B8 - download here: https://pistol-forum.com/attachment....1&d=1322428748
    Start Position: Gun mounted, finger on trigger
    Rounds Fired: 20
    Par time: 0.35 seconds

    For this drill of the week, we are going to work on abruptly pressing the trigger straight back within a short time frame. Start with the gun mounted, aimed at the target, with finger on the trigger. Upon the start signal, complete the trigger press as quickly as you can. The goal will be to make the best hit you can, while making the gun fire within the 0.35 second par time, which is an approximation of the length of the beep itself.

    Shoot five shots this way at each of the four distances: 5, 10, 15, and 25 yards. Add up your points at each distance (including Xs.) Overtime shots receive no points.

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

    Gun used
    Points at 5 yards, number of overtime shots
    Points at 10 yards, number of overtime shots
    Points at 15 yards, number of overtime shots
    Points at 25 yards, number of overtime shots
    Total number of points out of the possible 200

    I try and convince everybody to do this drill. I think this is the absolute best drill for dry fire. To many people practice slow easy trigger presses and then wonder why they have issues hitting things at a match pace. Pull that trigger fast and hard in dry practice because that's what your gonna do in a match!!

    The shortest par time my timer allows is .6. Do y'alls timers go lower?

    15 yards No overtime shots 44 points shots from .20-.27

    Most of my non 10 point shots were high. Not sure what that was about.

    Ruger SR1911 Commander in .45

    5 yards No overtime shots 50 points 3X shots from .25-.30
    10 yards No overtime shots 50 points shots from .24-.30
    15 yards No overtime shots 43 points shots from .18-.28
    25 yards No overtime shots 40 points shots from .16-.30
    Had an ND on first shot, well sorta. I was pointed in with finger on trigger waiting for beep and pressed the trigger early. The MOS trigger is stock and a bit heavier than my other Glocks. Going from a couple of hundred rounds from that, right into the 1911 required a little adjusting.

    I did it four times unfortunately I didn't read the rules and did not score the target after each string. Now I wish I did:

    Glock 19, AA .22 conversion total: 182-1x
    This is the only gun I managed to hit all 20 rounds with.

    Glock 42: 155-1X missed with two rounds

    Glock 19: 127-2X somehow missed with six rounds and wondered if I mis-counted, but I am pretty sure I fired 20 times at it.
    Glock 19 redo: 146-1X missed three rounds.

    Generally my shots were a little more centered or even a little right using the trigger jerk which is different from my usual low left.

    I set the timer with a random start 5-6 seconds after button press. It took me that long to grip and align sights for longer shots.
    Times were .23-.35

    It is an interesting drill and I need to redo it scoring each distance to see where I am dropping shots although it is undoubtedly at 25 yards.

    Week 196: Jerk The Trigger

    Shot this today at an indoor range. I was unable to record times so this doesn't really count but I thought I would share. Instead I just extended the gun and as soon as my sights came on target I smashed the trigger as fast as I could.

    G19
    5 yds 49-4x
    10 yds 45-1x
    15 yds 46-0x
    25 yds 16-0x
    Total: 156-5x
    G34
    5 yds 49-4x
    10 yds 40-1x
    15 yds 45-0x
    25 yds 8-0x
    Total: 142-5x

    Takeaways: I'm really bad at 25 yard shooting. I also shoot better with my 19 than the 34.

    G17

    5 yards 49 points 4X, shots from .18-30
    10 yards 48 points 4X, shots from .19-.31
    15 yards 46 points 1X, shots from .20-.30
    25 yards 9 fucking points! 0X, first shot was .39. shots from .28-.39

    At the 25 I don't think that the one hit was even the .39 shot either. I could feel that I was shooting high right. I'm blaming some of this 25 business on the cold weather(10-11degrees) and further lack of trigger control. I also felt like I had a harder to keep the "drifting" of the front sight on the black, which messed with my head cause you know your pressing the trigger as soon as your hear the timer...

    I like this drill a lot.
