So all my "draws", approximately 40 in a Steel Challenge practice session, were from this ready position; I missed the draw plate once and the 39 or so hits didn't required any sight line adjustment prior to breaking the shot; drive the gun, squeeze the trigger.
I've known for a long time that variability in my support hand placement was the weak link in my draw, but this session really brought this home. My mechanics getting the the gun from surrender are solid; I can obviously get on target when pressing out. What I need to do is work on my weak hand mechanics go get it in the right place at the right time. I'm feeling a bit like Mr. Obvious, but at least the light bulb eventually turned on.
