Here is an example of how what you feel may not be real.
After dry fire sessions during the week I had decided to go back to bullets forward as that's what felt comfortable. Figured I'd go ahead and do a little live fire on the weekend to confirm, but was already planning to move it all back to BF Saturday night and shoot again on Sunday.
Saturday's focus was marksmanship not gun handling, but I did a few "4 aces" at the end of the session to compare to last weekend. My best reloads out of 12 runs the week before with BF were a 1.30 and a 1.31. Those were the only ones in the 1.30's with the mean and average of 12 runs in the 1.40's. I ran it 5 times with bullets out and got (not in order) two 1.20's, a 1.27, a 1.42 bobble, and an abortion....
So despite what I felt the timer says that after only 3 practice sessions I am faster BO. As a PT I very much get how it's a more efficient move. Objectively I must be honest with myself and say that BO works. It certainly doesn't feel natural as yet, but I'm going to stay with it tracking times and see what happens.
