Draw to First Shot

Beep to first shot. The clock doesn’t care what holster you bought.

What this proves: Your draw is fast enough to matter.

Scored by: Time, open or concealed · Log it in Range Log

Setup

7 yards. Any target. Dry fire counts. Pick concealment or open holster for every run.

How to run it

  1. Unload. Confirm clear. Put the ammo in another room for dry fire.
  2. On the beep, draw and press one shot.
  3. Log the time and the holster type.

The standard

Clean-run rule: Live fire, a miss voids the time. Dry fire, the sights have to be on target when the shot breaks. 7 yards, hands at your sides.
