Efficiency over effort.

When it comes to the draw, the goal isn’t to eliminate effort—it’s to eliminate unnecessary effort.

A well-developed process focuses on getting the gun from the holster, to the target sooner, not necessarily faster, creating a draw that is efficient, repeatable, and consistent. But once we find a process there can still be some low hanging fruit that commonly needs to be addressed.

With an efficiency repeatable process, the time becomes a by-product.

CONCEALMENT LAB CHALLENGE

The last one got some attention—and some strong opinions.

“No mulligans.”
“No practice draws.”
“Only cold starts count.”

Fair enough.

So here you go. No warm-up. No practice. Just the challenge.

Now it’s your turn. And I’ll even give you the two mulligans per string the challenge was designed with.

Let’s see where skill stands when the opinions stop.

GOLD TIER
• 3 yards — Draw & 1 shot to IDPA / 3×5 head box: 1.0 sec
• 3 yards — Draw & 5 shots to B8 center: 2.0 sec
• 3–5 yards — Retreating Bill Drill to A-zone: 2.0 sec
• 25 yards — Draw & 1 shot to A-zone: 1.5 sec

SILVER TIER
Gold times + 0.25 sec

Online submission only available to individuals tagged in this post.

Challenge submission: post an uncut video of you running the Concealment Lab Challenge with me tagged on it. If you can make the Gold or Silver tier times, two mulligans available on each string, I will mail you a patch.

Learn a process—not just another list of drills.

The Concealment Lab is a one-day immersive course designed to help you build a strong foundation for concealed carry while learning how to train—not just what to practice.

Through guided coaching and structured drills, you’ll learn to evaluate your performance, make meaningful corrections, and build skills that hold up under pressure.
