Got a super tuck on the way!! Anyways, All attempts to get under 2 seconds were complete misses. Not having a good grip on the gun, excessive movement, throwing the gun at the target, jerking trigger. Best times were, slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Loved the 2x2x2 drill tried it about 20 times. 4-5 count? Arc? I tend to throw the gun out, meet with other hand, and start shooting before the sight is on the card. The times I slowed down and saw the sight before the shot were the best times. Trying to bring the gun up to the chest, level to the ground, and finding the sights as the gun gets pushed towards target, but at this point that has been really slow and awkward.
Thanks for the input.

Love the forum
That's a good start. Keep practicing and your times will come down. Especially the draw from concealment.

Once you have times under 2.5 seconds, switch from the plates to the index card. Don't be surprised if your times go up. An index card is a little bigger than half the size of those plates. 15/28

Then keep working on your time. Go as fast as you can reliably hit but not much faster. Two hits in 3 seconds beats three misses in 2 seconds.

second the notion of joining a IDPA club. It adds a little stress and a lot of more realastic practice to your shooting plus a lot of fun.
