This is a great drill I like to include in Pistol Fundamentals Level 2. I typically wait for Level 2 to incorporate "strings" of shots. This gives shooters the ability to build upon Level 1 and begin to focus on the importance of grip, body position, and prepping the trigger for follow up shots. You can find a lot of "times" on the internet for how quickly you should shoot this drill. My recommendation is to practice without worrying about your time until you become comfortable with the drill. Don't accept sloppy practice at a new task because you read it on the internet.

I wanted to give a quick recap of last weekend’s Pistol Fundamentals Level 1 class. The focus of level 1 is on being able to make precise shots and obtain tight shot groups. To do this there are two key fundamentals: sight alignment and trigger control. Start by aligning the front sight perfectly centered in the rear sight notch, with both tops level, and maintain sharp focus on the front sight—not the target. Next, ensure smooth trigger control by pressing the trigger straight back and taking up any slack first. This prevents disrupting your sight picture. Taking the slack out of the trigger helps avoid jerking or slapping the trigger, as it can pull your shots off target. Mastering these basics will lead to tighter, more precise groups on target. Trying to work on too many of the basics at one time usually leads to mental overload so make sure you go to the range with a training plan and limit the concepts you’re trying to work on.
