It's warming up finally and I was thinking maybe I could get some times on the plate rack with weak hand at ten yards.

6 PLATES
10 YARDS
HANDS AT SIDES RELAXED
DRAW AND XFER TO WEAK HAND

PLEASE POST

TIME
EQUIPMENT
CLASS

Could use six paper plates, evenly spaced and stapled to a 2x4, make sure you get your hits.

See how fast you can do it clean and go from there.
Very worthy goal.
I need a plate rack bad!

Sorry it took two days, but here are my results. I did about 15 dryfire runs and could consistently beat a par time of 6 seconds. Then the fun began. I ran it ten times. I list the draw, total time, and # of plates made up to finish run. I'm a "C" class shooter. Open gun.

TIME, DRAW, MISSED/MADE UPS

9.62, 2.33, 3
7.26, 2.27, 2
7.56, 2.75, 1
8.16, 2.72, 1
6.97, 2.33, 1
6.91, 2.06, 1
7.49, 2.38, 1
6.13, 2.63, 0
7.93, 2.13, 3
5.88, 2.44, 0

On run 9 I pushed trying to beat 6 seconds, it didn't get me much. On run 10 I was completely relaxed and repeated the mantra "shoot what you see." Not my best draw time, but like run 8 I didn't push and it worked better for me.

Yeah, I really tried to open up and just feel the deal. I thought about #8 run and tried to duplicate that on #10. Worked good. #9 run was me getting excited about #8 and thinking, thinking, thinking, I could do better. The first 3 or 4 runs are pure excitement and speed focused. I am starting to understand some points I learned reading Brian's and Lanny's books.
The mind is powerful. I need practice.


NOTE: U DON"T HAVE TO DO 10 RUNS, PLEASE SOMEBODY POST SOME TIMES, CLASS, AND EQUIPMENT
Good luck, experiment, pass knowledge!!

People keep saying that, but I don't believe it. I can drill paper plates okay... But nothing makes you miss like those damn steel plates. The difference is purely psychological, but it's there.

I do love plate racks: Nothing keeps you sight-focused like steel. Start gazing at the plates, and they stop dropping. Every time.

The truth is that there is no choice between the two. You line the sights up in the A-zone and let it fly at the absolute soonest moment that you see what your experience tells you will put the hole where you're aiming it using the amount of trigger control you need to keep the gun lined up in that spot. There is no concern about accuracy or speed - either one is an illusion from behind the gun. There's "where do I want to hit" and "is the gun lined up there or not"... followed up with "did the sights lift from where I wanted to hit". To assign an "either/or" to the equation is to deny the fact that the gun can be shot ridiculously fast while shooting all As - but it won't be done while you're determined that one must be sacrificed for the other - and it also has the amusing side effect of pressuring the shooter to ignore "the shooting" in the name of "the speed" - XRe
