Today:
1. Did draw to 2 shots @ 7 yards. A combination of moving at the start of the beep and prepping the trigger when I establish my grip got my draw down to 1.17 or so. I think I can get lower by figuring out how to fire at the point of extension instead of extending, then focusing my eyes on the sights, but shaving .2 off my draw isn't a real priority right now. After 50-70 rounds or so I gave this up.
2. Ben Stoeger said that most shooters who come through his classes are unable to consistently hit alphas, even untimed, at 25 yards. So I tried to shoot alphas at 25 yards. It turns out that I can't either. However, I discovered that I have 2 "modes" when shooting: "fast mode," where I grip the gun right but don't really pay as much attention to sights and trigger press, and "accurate mode" where I focus on sights and trigger but I don't grip as hard between shots. I worked on gripping the gun right in "accurate mode," and the sights obviously recovered a lot better. I also got more accurate; by the end of 100 or so rounds I was consistently getting like 4 Alphas and 1 Charlie.
3. Did draw to 2 shots @ 25 yards with my last few rounds. Did 5 reps, ended up with 7 alphas and 3 Charlies. Draw was like 1.75 and splits were in the .35-.4 range, which isn't great, but it's progress.
