Speed, Accuracy, and Gunfigther's Myths
We do not practice accuracy. All of our practice is speed work. When you are doing training you should go as fast as you can go comfortably. You are finalizing your draw and the draw you want to finalize is your quickest draw. Whenever you change your draw, you have to go back and refinalize the new draw. You do not need the clock to do this. Time does not matter. You will get quicker and quicker the more you do this.
The reason we do not practice accuracy is because it can not be done. Accuracy comes from a finalized draw and shooting from the subconscious. Shooting the same each and every time without thinking. If you try to hit the target or hit a specific location on the target, you are shooting from the frontal lobe. That slows you down and causes you to miss. "Any thought changes the expert into a novice." The Sports Gene.
We want to finalize our draw to the extend that we will hit the same location in same time with every shot. Whether it is on the target or not is irrelevant. Location of the hit is an alignment issue. Alignment is dealt with preset command. Once we deal with it we forget it and shoot from the subconscious. We walk our hits to the light by changing our alignment. We never ever change our draw. We do not aim. We do not worry about where we are going to hit. We are a loaded spring waiting to explode on the light.
There are some myths that have grown in our sport. "To be accurate you must slow down." I think this myth come from those who have learn speed by flailing. The flail is a defective draw. To hit the target with a flail, you must time the trigger pull when the muzzle is in the target zone. It is extremely hard to do. If you flail, it helps to slow down because the muzzle is in the target zone longer. However, if you have a finalized stable draw, your quickest draw will be your most accurate. Generally with a finalized draw you will find that the quicker you go the more accurate you will be.
Another myth is that you have to learn to go fast first before you learn accuracy. This again may come from those getting speed by flailing. It also comes from those who practice missing. If you always practice on the light and do not see every hit you are depriving your subconscious the opportunity to make those small incremental changes for 60 or 70% of your shots. Why waste that wax. You can learn to be accurate at the same time as you learn speed. That is why we do close bucket work. We are training to go fast. We let our subconscious teach us how to be accurate.
