Make sure that your technique is solid, and ignore speed at the moment. When you want to get faster, start by reducing the time you aren't actively pulling the trigger - movement, target acquisition, reloads, etc. If you follow the advice of the pros, 90% of your trigger pulls will be at home. Here you can use a simple app on your phone that has an initial delay, and a PAR time.
Simple example:
- Initial delay of 3 sec, PAR time of 1.8 sec
- Press the button on your phone
- At the beep, draw and dryfire on a business card, taped on the wall, a few yards away. Your goal is to complete the trigger pull before the second beep.
- Adjust the PAR time up or down, so you can consistently pull the trigger just within the PAR time beep. Make sure your draw technique is solid. No cheating technique to beat the time.
- Over the coming weeks, drop the PAR time by 0.1 seconds at a time, to keep pushing yourself.
Remember to focus on technique, and be honest with yourself. You can learn a ton without spending much money at all.
