NY Times!

So as my shooting is coming together, I noticed that as I go into auto pilot mode, my shooting becomes much smoother, more accurate and quicker to get the shot off. I was curious as to how long it was taking me to get an accurate shot on target, so I had my nephew time me. Starting from a low ready position (hands at waist), I instructed him to start the timer as soon as I began to raise my hands and to stop the timer when he heard the target get hit. I didn't want him to try to stop it at just my shot because he could react to either the release or some time after that. Plus I only planned to record shots that landed on target. If I was just going for sheer speed, I could get the shots off much quicker. So from ready position, to raising the frame, drawing, anchoring, aiming, releasing and hitting a soda can, my average for 10 consecutive shots was 1.946 seconds!

Anyone else time their shot sequence?
