Our game is about speed, combined with accuracy. I knew in Kentucky, my times were slower than normal, but I didn't understand why. Then, my friend, Miss E started posting pictures, and I understand. I had fallen into the habit of extending my shooting arm, Maybe it's years of law enforcement training, maybe it's years of reading Jeff Cooper, but shooting without seeing the front sight is still just a little odd to me.
All three of these pictures were taken on Friday, a week ago during the Category matches, and it shows why my times were so slow. Look at the arm extension.
And, I know what I have to do to fix it.

Also, you're shooting with the wrong hand.
There's a reason it's called the "right" hand, you sinister person.
That fella behind you, the one with blue jeans and white shirt; is he showing the correct rule 17 style?
Steve
Yep, you're doing the 'right' thing by one set of standards, but not for fast draw...LOL
Steve asks about my opponent. The guy in the jeans. Yeah, he's showing good form. Get the gun our of the holster and when it feels right, trip the trigger.
This sport is as close to pure reactive shooting as you can get. We react to a light, and don't use sights. He's doing it right.
Oh, and Steve. I beat him, by the way. He wasn't hiting the target and I was. I believe that the final score was 1-3.
Ha, snicker, kinda figured that
Steve
