I find myself “hunting” for sight alignment/sight picture on my first target acquisition after my draw. Typically after I’ve aligned my sights and broke off the first round I have no trouble with follow up’s or transitioning to the next target. So, I was wondering if anyone has any tips or drills for improving sight picture acquisition immediately after the draw?

Every night I dry fire. My warm up consists of draws from different starting positions aiming at a 1" piece of tape on the wall. After doing that a while the sights just line up perfectly almost every time. That drill also practices trigger control if you make sure your front sight doesn't leave the target throughout the trigger press.

A daily program lasting 3-4 months will make you a fast draw and reloader. The gun, sights, and mags will always be were you expect them to be. |

I have an iPhone app called DryFireTrainer. It will start you with a beep, then show you a target for a user specified amount of time.
Set your target time and do the drill over and over, smoothly. |

things tend to go wrong on the first of anything because you are rushing. try slowing down.
