Had a great time with some dedicated (and soggy) students at our two date IDPA match/pistol class at Homestead near Miami.
Thanks again to everyone for coming out and braving the elements.

It's been a while since I've updated the page but we are back at it again! After a two and a half year hiatus from teaching group classes due to my move to Florida and a bunch of other life changes, classes are back! I've partnered with USPSA GM, 2021 IDPA National Champion and pizza gun lover Les Kismartoni to bring a very familiar class format to Florida, the south east and beyond. Our most recent class was a sell out at Rangewerx in Ft Meade, FL.
When I have students do the Blake drill I have them start with the gun in hand. I want them to take time to focus on a perfect grip and what that feels like, along with a perfect stance. The draw can be worked on in any number of other drills, but for me the point of that drill is the transitions and splits being equal, and nothing else.
As a test (like the bill drill), it's fine to do it from the draw, but I don't find it necessary when training. Especially if you are new to the idea of what it is.
How to get yourself to stop confirming each hit? Dryfire the same drill from the same spot before you live fire. In dryfire there's no bullet hole to look for so it should be easier.
Also, I have a metronome app on my phone. I set it to a reasonable time to start, (167 beats per minute is a .35 split) and dry fire it to that pace. Go left to right and right to left so you don't become tied to doing it only one way in matches. I also like to tell people to use more targets than you think. Paper plates are easy to set up around the house. Put out 10 of them evently spaced alone the wall or back of the couch or whatever and just go back and forth until your grip and shoulders get tired. The fastest time on my metronome app is 310 beats per minute, which is a .19 split and should totally be doable until the targets are 6 or more feet apart.
