Due to some injuries and regular lifting my shoulders tend to be pretty tight. I noticed in my last steel challenge match that every once in a while my hand wouldn't make it far enough back on the draw and I would come down on the hammer rather than the gun's grip. I had to move my hand further back to get a grip on the gun and draw, slowing me down.
I worked out this morning, with some focused shoulder work at the end and due to my tightened shoulders I was doing it even more in dry fire. So I started experimenting as my competition holster is a zero cant holster that has to be behind the hip bone.
I get in my normal squared up to the target position, then twist slightly (I mean it didn't seem to take very much at all) at my waist towards the gun side. My normal draw was much more consistent at getting a good grip before coming up and I was squared up again before I even leveled the gun.
Anyone else experimented with this? Seemed more consistent in dry fire, need to get it on the timer and I have another match this weekend I'll try it in. Might be an idea for people who aren't the most flexible besides trying to stretch out the shoulders before a match.
I carry appendix so no worries there.
