This guide details a fast draw training methodology from Tenicor, utilizing Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scaling for both dry and live fire practice. The instruction, led by a professional instructor and gear manufacturer, emphasizes building consistency and reliability under pressure by progressively increasing intensity from 50% to 100% RPE. This approach aims to improve draw speed and effectiveness in competitive and self-defense scenarios.

Quick Summary

Improve your firearm draw speed and consistency using RPE scaling. Professional instructor Jeff from Tenicor demonstrates progressing from 50% RPE for precision to 100% RPE for maximum intensity, ensuring reliable performance under pressure with a Glock 19/17 and red dot optic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my draw speed from concealment?

Improve your draw speed by using Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scaling. Start dry fire practice at 50% RPE for consistency, progress to 80% for match pace, and push to 100% to find your limits. Consistent performance at higher intensities improves speed at lower levels.

What is RPE scaling in firearm training?

RPE scaling in firearm training uses your subjective feeling of exertion to measure practice intensity. It involves starting at lower levels (e.g., 50%) for precision and gradually increasing to higher levels (e.g., 80-100%) to build speed, aggression, and consistency under pressure.

What gear is shown for fast draw training?

The video features a Glock 19/17 pistol equipped with a Red Dot Sight, carried in a Tenicor Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB) holster. A shot timer is also used for performance measurement.

Why is consistency important in fast draw training?

Consistency is crucial because simply being fast is not enough; the draw must be reliable under pressure. Training at maximum aggression (100% RPE) helps build the muscle memory and control needed to maintain accuracy and indexing even when pushing your speed limits.
