To maintain our current skill level, we must practice once every 21 days.
On the 22nd day of no practice our skill starts to diminish. The upside is that we can get back to our current skill level quicker than it took to learn the new skill. How much practice do you need, that depends on if you want to maintain your skill level or improve it. It is asserted that to learn a new skill it takes about 20 hours to learn the skill and to master a learned skill takes 10,000 hours. Set your learning, mastery goal along these guidelines. I encourage people to practice once a week for 10 minutes as a minimal base. This does not mean you have to shoot your firearm every week. Practice that maintains your skill can be as simple as doing presentations to a target from the holster or the high compressed ready, and with no shooting dry fire drills. On this page I will list out and make videos of drills that you can incorporate into your own practice routine.
Presentation From high compressed ready
Hold the pistol in a proper two handed firing grip pulled into your chest or abdomen. The muzzle is level, or tilted slightly down, and pointed in the direction of the target.
Bring the sights up to eye, while keeping the muzzle level, and then extend your hands out with your arms to full extension,while keeping your eyes on the target. Once the pistol is at full extension close one eye and check your sight alignment and move your sights into perfect position. Then properly place your finger on the trigger but do not cycle the trigger.
While you hold your muzzle level and pointed at the target index your finger on the frame of the pistol, maintain your proper firing grip, and pull the pistol back into the high compressed ready position.
Take a deep breath, relax, and repeat the drill.
The goal is to be able to present from the high compressed ready position very fast and have perfect sight alignment at full extension.
