New guy, so apologies if an earlier thread on the subject has evaded my attempt to find it. Just wondering if there's a tried and true method for improving reaction time to the start signal.

Reaction time drill:
1. Place the timer on the front of your belt.
2. On the beep: get your strong hand on the gun and slap the timer with your support hand.
0.2s is a good par time to try for. Not all timers will register that short of a split, so if you can get your hand on the gun before the beep is over, that's a good proxy. If you're doing this from concealment, clear the garment out of the way for this drill so you can focus just on getting your hand on the gun ASAP.

I heard somewhere that you should listen carefully and start to move your hand at the very first sound of the beep, not wait until the beep is done.
