This is as close as I could find to what I’m talking about. The only difference is mine has for positions and they’re more deconstructed. For self defense I think these are the most valuable drills I’ve ever learned

@Doug101 While this may not be allowed on your range, there are other options. The simplest is to dry fire the drills at home. This will help your brain develop the motor skills and smooth out the rough edges.
Ultimately you’ll want to try all drills live fire, but if you don’t have that option, dry fire is a great way to prepare.

I can point shoot while extended at the range and was fairly good at it but they wouldn’t let me shoot from the hip. I don’t know why I didn’t think to do it home. Thanks for waking me up!

Another option is lasers. There are a tone of great training tools to really enhance dry fire.

If you practice proper form enough during dry fire, you can close your eyes during your draw and when you open your eyes you will at least see part of your Front sight.
Bringing your pistol up under your dominant eye with a level extension towards the target, prepping the trigger during the extention, timing the trigger to " click" at extension.
I believe dry- fire will not only increase your Speed as you develop neural pathways (muscle memory) but the big thing to me is guaranteeing you don’t fumble the draw during a stressfull, possibly deadly, encounter.
