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.

I'm not operator, or any of the such. My pistol is what it is meant to do a short distance firearm to get to something bigger (rifle/shotgun). I do not care of I am hitting 2in groups at 25 feet. Most real pistol gun fights happen at less then 3-5 yards.

I do not bullseye shoot. I shoot with thought I need to moving and shooting. Standing there like a sitting duck while drawing my pistol will be the death of me. ( Makes a great target). I move, draw and fire. First part is moving nothing less. Yes I practice this. I don't aim at targets, I point at them. Yes aimed shots are a good thing when you need them. But I only use that time to practice after I have practiced moving and shooting. As in not 90 to the right of a right handed shooter and visa versa. Any direction that makes the other shooter have to do something. I am not real happy with my 5 inch groups at 4-7 yards, but in the situation I will come across thats pretty good.

Yes I have taking classes to make my shootng better. I'm not the sit at the range and blow holes in a target in the A/C and say look at this I can hit the Bullseye with in a 1inch a 25 yards......

Didn't Wyatt Erp say that fast shooters usually lie dead in the street from an accurate shot? Or something like that.

If you can be fast an accurate, be fast.
