So I finally got around to playing with a shot timer. Finally. I have only been shooting IPSC for 9 months and been from production to standard and now back to production with a G22. Anyways, finally got the shot timer and just recieved my new Bladetech DOH (awesome holster BTW :D).

I ran a couple of basic drills just to get a starting point but obviously, do not have a reference point for myself nor against other production shooters. I was curious what other results the production shooters are getting ?

Keeping in mind that I have been shooting the G22 for less than 1k rounds :oops: , here is what I mustered up in the blustery winds of yesterday:


DRAW - FIRE 1 (5)
1.44, 1.37, 1.21, 1.22, 1.26 (all As)

DRAW - FIRE 2
1.79 (0.48split, 1.31 draw, 2A), 1.81 (0.40, 1.41, 1A 1C), 1.91 (0.47, 1.44, 2A), 1.90 (0.45, 1.45, 2A), 1.88 (0.41, 1.47, 2A)
(my traw and split times seem to be quite consistent, as are my overall times, but draw time is longer than above drill)

DRAW - FIRE 2, RELOAD, FIRE 2 (used slow mag pouches, waiting for my new ones ;-) ).
6.07 (0.55spl, 1.75 draw, 2.14 mag change, 0.39 spl, 4A) (slipped mag change & draw)
4.96 (0.44, 1.61, 2.01, 0.40, 4A)
4.88 (0.46, 1.49, 1.91, 0.42, 3A 1C)
4.41 (0.42, 1.46, 1.85, 0.39, 2A, 2C)

Any feedback or comparisons would be much appreciated until I can get to the range again and try out my new mag pouches and further get used to my new holster :D
 
I am not familiar with Glocks and there numbers, is this a 9mm? or .40.
Your draw and fire one is at what distance?
 
Your split between mag changes is decent in my book for a production gun and cheap mag pouches.
Your reaction time to the audible is what may speed up your draw and first shot.
 
What distance are you shooting at? Knowing the time is not really that useful if you don't have the distance listed.

I've never bothered looking at my splits and say "How do I get them down". I know how to get them down. I also know how to miss faster.

I always try to focus first on points. Am I shooting as many points as I feel I need to? Higher points are a byproduct of practice and tracking your sights better. If you're doing a better job of tracking your sights and acquring the target on the next shot, your times will improve.

Let speed be a side benefit of practicing good trigger control, target acquisition and movement. Don't try to improve your speed. You will just develop bad habits in the end.
 
All of the above was done at 10m.

I hear you about the splits - right now I am just trying to shoot accurately faster but as soon as I start trying to fire two off VERY quickly, I start hitting Cs, Ds, or nothing at all. The times are not significantly less either (in the mid 0.3s) so it seems more worthwhile to focus on shooting my As as fast as possible, regardless of the actual split time.

Good call, especially since you're shooting production and minor.

+1 to HB's comments.

Forget about splits - focus more on target to target and getting a good cadence between shots. Your hit factor will work out better. The splits will go where they need to be.
