    Default The use of a Metronome in pistol dry fire and live fire training

    Has anyone here benefited from its use with pistol shooting?
    Anderson says it is good for transition.

    Any feed back?

    My memories of metronomes would just make me want to shoot said metronome!

    I was shooting andante-e-legato, but with some practice I got it up to a nice staccato ;)

    I wouldn't try to time my draw with a metronome or any other gadget, I don't see the benefit of such awkward practice. I do however use metronome with my guitar playing, but that's totally different ballgame.

    The idea is to end up with a smooth and quick draw: if you forcefully make the draw follow a time signature you'll loos the smoothness, thus you'll lose the being fast part.

    P.S. slow is never fast, it's always just slow...
