How to get better at shooting IDPA

I have been shooting idpa for about tens years now and I am always trying to do better. One of the best ways to decrease your times has absolutely nothing to do with shooting at all! Entering shooting positions more efficiently will dramatically improve your times.

Entering shooting positions of cover or in the open- Over short distances keep both hands on the gun and keep the gun high, somewhere near eye level. As soon as you are getting ready to put your last foot down be in the process of finding your target and aligning your sights. Over longer distances you can really flat out run with one hand on the gun and the other arm pumping , really picking up the pace. As soon as you get close to your position start to slow down and get both hands on the gun and find your target.
