This drill is set to practice the draw starting from the surrender position.  Please keep in mind taht the reps in the video have been kept short for time considerations. The intention of the the demo is also to demonstrate the app's ease of use with live targets.

This video was created to work and strenthen your weak arm.  The repetitions on the video have been lowererd.  You can raise them to ten.  Settings are on the video.

Its taken me all day.  Recorded quite a few drills, using the app's target and with live targets.  This is the first one.  Remember this is mean as a demo so the repetitions have been kept to a minimun. PS; Cut me some slack this is my second video.  Enjoy

For those of you that are interested.  I spent the morning taking videos of different drills done with the app.  Some of them use the apps targets some of them use real targets.  I got to download them in the mac and get them all squared away and up load them as they are finished. Again if you have used the app please leave me a review in the Reviews page or send me your comments and questions. Thank you all

Please post your reviews here. February 21, 2010 by  Alex Haddox , found at this  location , Podcast Episode 114 " I can setup targets in my backyard and use the app to trigger the event and count the time when the targets are available. I can conduct timed self-defense scenarios with full movement in the privacy of my backyard that you can’t do on a square range with live ammo." " I know Elliot designed the application with the competitive shooter in mind, but the tool is flexible enough that it can also be used for self-defense training. That is one of the things I really like about it." Full Review:  Practical Defense 114 - Dry Fire Trainer and Nixle

I just got done doing some morning drills.  I have the drills set up for the draw and some of them are meant for the app targets and some of them are meant for life size targets.  I'm doing the drills with life size targets and I noticed that I was pulling the trigger too fast.  I wasn't sure if I had the sights aligned on that first shot.  I needed to correct this and make sure that I always had a perfect sight alignment before pulling the trigger. I was doing 50 reps of the Draw from the surrender position at 10 yards from a live target.  The 50 reps were set on five drills of ten reps each.  I was doing the last drill when it dawn on me.  The PAR time for my baseline on that drill is 1:30.  That is supposed to mean that I can draw from surrender, draw the firearm and align the sights.  I don't have to pull the trigger.  So on those last drill I pull the trigger after the PAR sounded.  I noticed that for those last reps my sights ...

Morning Everyone I want to urge everyone that has bought the app to send me some feedback.  The Reviews link is there for you to leave your impressions on the app, good or bad.  If you are too shy or don't care to expose your point of view to the world send me an email.  Please contact me If you have some questions about the app or have come up with some drills of your own and would like to share them   I will be posting some more drill and some new videos shortly.  I think we are getting our very first formal review, in a podcast. Thanks everyone

Side Step 1 Time Start:    Random: 00:05:00 to 00:06:00 Target Start:    None Audio Start:    Commands & Beep Target Stay Time:    00:00:00 Target Re-appear Time:    00:05:00 Restart Drill In:    00:04:00 Drill Duration:    00:10:00 Note:    Self-Defense Drill 1 This is a slow drill designed to reinforce proper movements and technique. Conduct this drill until the movements are smooth and easy. In the future, this can also be used as a warm-up exercise before moving to the later drills.    Complete all shots before the second beep. 1....

This drill uses an app target and is designed to strengthen your ability to index the sights and increase your muscle memory through a five minute repetition workout.   Expect your times to be a lot slower than a life size target.  However the payoff is a refinement in your technique.  If you can I recommend placing a life size target behind the iPhone or iTouch.  Five minutes might be too long, if so then switch to (2) or (3) minutes. Basically what you will see is an image popping in and out, you draw when you see it and re-holster when the image disappears, repeat.  With these drills I also wanted to highlight another way to use the app for your training. Variations: If you have made some of the other drills then you should have the baselines already for when you draw on the app target with the Strong/Weak Hanks and the Surrender position, these drills use the baselines of those drills.  DRAW - 5 MIN SHAND DRAW - 5 MIN WHAND DRAW - 5 MIN SURR Start ...

All right everyone I know that when you first hear about the app you might think that its just a gimmick. In order to dispel that idea I've created a small video, using the app and running a drill. This was shot at my local club.  Now I don't have the greatest camera, as a matter of fact i think that my wife won it at a raffle.  Video quality aside the apps ability to be part of your training is what you should be concentrating on. Hope you enjoy it and I'm hoping to hear your opinions on the app.

With these settings you get two drills.  Create the ones here and name them Strong Hand Draw   then create another set and rename it Weak Hand Drill .  These drills are design to strengthen your aim when shooting with your strong and weak hand.   Variations:   Strong Hand, Weak Hand using the app targets will provide you with a great challenge.  Expect your times to be much slower than when using life size targets.  Also you can create these just to acquire the sights and other drills for acquiring the sights and squeezing the trigger. Start Position:  Hands at Side, relaxed. Procedure:   Facing down range.  On the start signal engage target.   Distance:  10 Yards Target:   Life size target. Objective:   Improve and Refine draw and sight acquisition. As always remember to find your  Baseline . Name:   Strong Hand Draw  1 Time Start: Random Time Min: 00.01.00  Time Max: 00.0...
