What’s The Deal With Turn and Draws?




Triangle Tactical show

Summary: Welcome back to episode 55 of the Triangle Tactical Q&A Show! Today's question comes in from Tim in Honolulu. He sent his question to podcast@triangletactical.net. Aloha from Honolulu, guys… This weekend, for the first time in my relatively short competitive shooting career, I’m going to shoot a match that will include “turn and draw” starting positions on a couple of stages.  Any tips or techniques for executing a “turn and draw”?  Specifically, which direction do you prefer to turn (toward or away from strong side), and why?  As I practiced it in dry-fire tonight, I quickly realized that for some reason, I’m WAY more comfortable turning toward my weak side than my strong side, but I don’t really know why… Love the show, found it shortly after I shot my first match, and promptly listened to the whole back catalog, and now you’ve got me binge-watching Hot Shots on YouTube…  Great content, and your personalities work perfectly together to keep it fresh and interesting.  If your vacation plans ever include Hawaii, let me know…  We’ll hook you up with a match, and hopefully keep you and your guns on the right side of our ridiculous gun laws!
