Your fastest draw is not necessarily your true level of performance.
A personal best shows what happened once. A baseline shows what you can reproduce under clearly defined conditions.
In this first episode of ABA | Performance Briefing, Lucas Silveira explains why a single fast time can create a misleading picture of handgun performance—and what you should measure instead.
You will learn:
• The difference between a personal best and a performance baseline
• Why every repetition must be evaluated for validity
• How average time, consistency, spread and valid-repetition rate reveal different problems
• How the ABA Intl TMM framework—Technique, Metric and Method—turns recorded performance into a practical training decision
• Why the shot timer provides evidence, but not a complete diagnosis

Technique. Metric. Method.
