[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2909575, member: 10465"] Welp, I went to my favorite training site and [I]really[/I] focused on the start sound/sight today. I showed an average of .165 seconds; that was given a delay a 3-5 second delay after I said "set" of course. My slowest of the day was a 1.88, my best was a 1.56, so I guess I got old okey doke beat as far as being "fast anyway. Accuracy wasn't too bad, my groups averaged out just under 0.535'', at 25 yards of course, although today I had the mental mind set of "speed" as my first priority. We weren't using a digital fast draw timer, like Okey used back in '78, but a more [I]SWAG[/I] kind of thing. Okey doke [I]may[/I] have been [I]fairly[/I] good, a long time ago, but today's more modern shooters, who are probably more genetically programmed and well, just more well-trained for pure speed, seem to able to beat an average of 1.9 seconds pretty regularly. I'm sorry, okey doke, but in my league, you'd actually just be classified as a plinker. And hey, that's cool...I mean not everyone can be a [I]top hand[/I]...especially as you get so much older. It's natural for a shooter to slow down with age, you know. I did ask though, and we have an open slot in our club for someone in the "plinker" division if you'd be interested.
