At Gunsite, they promoted being fast enough to be accurate. I think it is very important to "work on something" don't just go burn three hundred rounds without thought of getting better at doing something. I have a coach/friend that works with me on the Kinesiology of shooting and other things. I shoot outside and like to run and gun that takes away from some of my accuracy. I too shoot at 1" dots and try to shoot them out.
ing and practice, muscle memory, stance, GRIP, draw, trigger control...... are of more importance then what the timer says. My goal is to do the same thing every time. I also take a video camera with me, so I can see how my form needs work (much). I also use a timer because it helps me to see if I'm getting better compared to accuracy. I am constantly amazed at the number of CCL have never drawn from a holster! I went to Gunsite thinking I would be with the best shooters in the class. LOL I had no idea how deficient I was. I feel everybody needs some instruction! Most people don't know how deficient they are. My soapbox.
