What you’ll need.
1. Holster
2. Gun
3. Sheets of white copy paper.
4. Black marker or 2” black pasters.
5. Tape measure.
6. Shot timer.
Step one:
Get a baseline. This is about figuring out your speed and mechanics, not about achieving some set standard.
It’s about figuring out what YOUR wobble baseline is at what speed.
String 1:
15 yards from a holster. Two shots in 2.0 seconds.
Dry fire it. Then live fire it. Then dry fire it. Etc until you’ve repeated for 10 shots.
You may throw out one flier. Use the ruler to measure the distance from the center. Look at the shot timer to get a sense of what your draw and split breakdown is. Write it on the paper and put it aside.
The goal is to train the dry vision to the live mechanics and Vice versa. Basically what you’re seeing in the quiet of dry and how that translates over to what lands on paper.
String 2:
7 yards from a holster. Two shots in 1.5 seconds.
Alternate dry and live until 10 shots elapsed.
Same scoring rules.
String 3:
3 yards from a holster. Two shots in 1.0 seconds total.
Work this one in dry 5x first. If can’t get the first shot off in dry by par, may extend time to 1.2 seconds for the drill.
But the point of this drill is to develop the index. Even if you don’t see the sights, you’ll be working on hitting using the general silhouette and feel of the gun and over time you’ll get fast enough to get a flash of red on target.
At the end of this, you’ll have a basic sense and data of what group size you can hit at what speed.
AND…. the distances scale. So if you had a 4” group at 15 yards at that pace, that’s what your 2” group pace at 7 is.
You’ll range find off the MOA scaling of the dot on target.
I’m a big fan of alternating dry and live runs to clean up sight picture and give them tools to develop on their own.
