Based on previous discussion about matching your pace to your vision, I incorporated draws to the upper A mixed in with the faster SWNTS pace for a lower A/close C. So, for example, if I’m shooting for 1.2s dry at 7 yards to a lower A, I did a PAR of 1.5s for an upper A. I found that right now, 1.4s seems to be about the sweet spot for the amount of refinement I need for an honest upper A headshot at my scaled 7 yard target.
What I have for a dry fire setup right now is two 1/3 USPSA targets I made as well as a 1/6 USPSA. This allows for simulated 3yd, 7yd, 10yd, and ~18yd shots with the space I have available. The 1/3 USPSAs are one full target width apart; the 1/6 is between them, simulating a shot further downrange. I probably ought to make another 1/6 target for good measure.
Transitioning between the two 1/3 targets at 7 yards with a 1.8s PAR was doable dry. As I transition I’m darting my eyes to where I want the dot to land and that is helping prevent overswinging. At the 7yd pace, the shots still felt like 1-2…3-4. I don’t know that I can quite get my transition down to .2s for those, not with the distance between the two targets, but the transition’s probably in the neighborhood of .3-.35. My simulated 10 yard pace is more like 1-2-3-4, which tells me that’s probably correct. For a PAR here I did 2.1s — a little less than halfway between the 7 and 15 yard PARs.
I’ll need to make up some proper targets for this drill. Tonight was just improvising on the fly with what I had for transitions. Right now it feels pretty natural, but the proof will be in the live fire.
