USPSA targets at 10 yds
Focus:
- Working 180° turns, hand position above shoulders, index on target with finger on trigger and ready to shoot while not stepping outside the fault lines. I've had to make an adjustment for myself on this as it's a bit different and narrower on the foot movement than a normal defensive minded turn for me might be. In the end, eyes lead everything, so the adjustment has been fairly simple.
- Working transition speed, going as fast as I can while still being aware of what's happening. A bit faster than say match speed. Fast enough to stay uncomfortable. Consistent reloads with some single hand transition work post reload.

The work and discipline are in your control.

Daily work. Working on a total of three different skill blocks for pistol today. Above are draws at 10 yds on a full-size USPSA target with no paster for a focal point. Looking for a near perfect consistency with my index and my finger on the trigger ready to shoot sooner. You won't manifest skill from work you haven't done.

I want my hard skills, my foundational skill set to be as over developed as possible. This will leave me with plenty in reserve and the capability to execute at a very high level when the stress or uncontrollable factors of the moment negatively affect my performance. This is one of the reasons for me why learning to go fast is super important. It's so I learn to shoot under stress without putting unnecessary input on the gun that will affect my impacts. It's so my visual processing is highly developed, and I'm acutely aware of what's going on at a very fast pace. And most importantly, I'm not operating from a deficit. Performance value and defensive utility.

I'm not rehearsing pre determined "scenarios" that may or may not ever happen. I want skills I can count on based on training, practice, competition, and experience. These owned skills can then be implemented in any context I need.

Speed. Efficiency. Consistency.
Breakdown: Starting on T1 finger on trigger. Transition to T2 followed by two trigger presses. Complete full reload. Rebuild grip, re-index with two more trigger presses. My focus will change depending on what I want to work on, and vision and grip are always the top priorities, but short thumbs are a thing.🤨👍 Consistently dropping the mag while trying to go fast is something I screw up at times because of that. I'm working on finding reference points that give me the speed, efficiency, and consistency I'm looking for.

Daily dry fire. Working transitions with 6 different scaled targets at various heights and distances. Concentration is on consistent connection and making sure my eyes are ahead of the gun and on the focal point before my dot arrives. Just going through the motions doesn't get you anywhere and won't transfer over to live fire. There must be 100% focus on what is happening with your vision, grip, and gun to get the results.

Dry fire can be as simple or as complex as you want. Whichever you decide, you have to be paying attention to the details and be honest with yourself about what's happening. Today's focus was just concealed draws. For performance value and defensive utility. Also, loving the random starts with the new timer. This adds solid training value.
