Week 45: F-PAR High% Draw

[MEH]

Target used - 8.5x11 paper
Start position - concealed IWB at 4 o'clock, Glock 17 Gen4
Starting PAR - 2.0
Lowest PAR with a hit - 1.6
Final PAR (20th draw) - 1.5 miss

Used the turning target system at the NRA range to do the par times. My first draw was a miss so I went up to 2.1 but spent most of the time around 1.6/1.7. Got to 1.5 twice and missed twice.

Need to work on this among many other things. I usually do something similar to this drill, but shoot two instead of one, 25 times. After many years shooting M&P's, didn't think it would take long to switch to Glock but just don't have the same comfort level yet. It's coming slowly.

Target: IPSC A-zone
Start Position: Concealed (open front concealment), M&P9 Pro.
Starting Par: 2.0 sec.
Lowest Par with hit: 1.60 sec.
Final Par: 1.50 sec. with late hit.

I only had one miss, my problem was late shots. I had a hard time letting go of a clear sight picture to get my shots off in time, but once I started getting the hang of it and saw how little sight reference I needed to get the hits at that distance and with that size target it went smoother. My fastest hit was 1.45 seconds on a 1.60 Par. I just couldn’t pull it off on a 1.50 Par.

-Target used: Q-PT 8" circle
-Starting Position: AIWB under T-shirt
-Starting par: 1.6
-Lowest par with hit: 1.3 / 1.13
-Final par: 1.2 hit

Lately I have been working on my grip. I feel being focused on this prevented a faster hit on the 8". However, it paid off on the following DotW that I will post results for latter.
