[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1260718, member: 1132"] A lot of top trainers would prefer to see speed over accuracy. They feel its easier to teach a fast person how to hit than a slow person to speed up. The problem is they're culling through potential top shots. You are stuck with you. Early on, your biggest gains are by learning to use economy of motion and doing as many things simultaneously as you can manage. Examples would be a perfect draw stroke (vs. fishing or bowling) and moving while drawing or reloading if the stage allows it. Your speed should be balanced with accuracy. As your speed improves your accuracy will degrade if you're making significant progress. When that happens, maintain the speed and focus more on accuracy. Early on you want to practice up close. As you get faster you'll want to move the distances out farther. An often overlooked but critical component is target transitions. You can practice your draw and reloads till you're super quick, but they'll only buy you so much time on each stage. You only draw once and reload 1-4 times depending on which game, but even a short IDPA stage will have 6 target transitions. Is it more important to gain a tenth on the draw or on the transition? Easy math. There's lots more to learn, but you get the picture to start with. [/QUOTE]
