Speed Shooting
|
|
|
Some more key components in speed shooting are the draw, the stance and how to set your natural point of aim. I am going to start out with a stance right now.
- I like to use my strong hand foot, and back it up 6 to 8 inches from my left foot. This gives you more a stable shooting platform to help with recoil.

The second phase along with this, is setting my natural point of aim. In steel shooting, speed shooting, I want to set up for the very first target.
In IPSC shooting you might have a wide array of targets so you may have to kind of pick a happy medium on where you want to start with a draw.
- The way I do this, I pick the target, I close my eyes, I bring my hands out, I open up and make sure my hands are pointed at the target which will be the gun when I am shooting.
- And that way it will help you pick up the few extra hundreds of a second on the draw because it’s in a natural spot, you don’t have to adjust as the guns coming out of the holster.
- As you can see over my shoulder my original set up for my natural point of aim is a little left of the target so I’ll adjust my feet so I am pointed directly on the target.

Now lets go to the next component which is the draw, let me unload my pistol so I can show you the steps in the draw.
- First off I like to break my draw down into two segments.
- You have a hand drop portion of it and you also have what I call the snatch move, which is the most critical part of the draw.
- It’s grabbing the gun consistently every time. I just like to practice by starting my hand here and just doing a quick little move.
- Your fingers are just basically lifting the gun out of the holster, snatching it out of the holster.
- Then what I do is just incorporate that with the hands coming down from the surrender start. Let me show you this full speed.
