The Rogers Shooting School is one of the top shooting schools in the nation.
Claude Werner used to be the chief instructor there.
Check out the description of the minimum required to attend their intermediate class:
Is for those who are experienced handgun shooters but have never been to the Rogers Shooting School. To qualify to take the Intermediate course a student must already possess the skill to be able to draw a center fire handgun from a concealed carry position or a duty type holster and reliably hit a man sized target at 10 yards in less than 1.5 seconds.
Not an unrealistic minimum, but certainly challenging. I ran some tests this past weekend and was hitting a 10″ (or could have been 12″) steel target at about 10 yards in 1.6-1.7 seconds. So I’m on the cusp. I know what I need to do to improve this, and I’m getting there. It’s a combination of 2 key things: 1. getting on the trigger sooner (currently working on this, but it’s not ingrained in my muscles yet), 2. seeing less but still seeing enough. In fact, I distinctly remember the first timed draw I did was 1.7 seconds. On the second draw I distinctly remember seeing less but still hitting the target. I’ll get there.
I dig Rogers’ philosophy. They strive to make you shoot faster on smaller targets, and from tougher situations like 1-handed shooting. Self-defense shooting isn’t easy to do, and they strive to work towards that end.
One cool thing? Claude has a YouTube channel that shows some of the Rogers tests. Sorry, can’t embed them here, but go watch, especially Test #7.

That’s the qualification for FrontSights certificate from the Defensive Handgun class that is required for the advanced class. So it is basically part of the final test.
I did it, but I found that I had to change how I concealed to accomplish it. I tried how I normally carried, which was under an untucked shirt and I just couldn’t get it up fast enough. When I switch to under a jacket it was possible to do it in under 1.5.
Do you have one of those gun timers? Don’t know how you’d time yourself in this. Maybe the timer has a delayed start time signal.
I can do it from my normal carry (untucked shirt). I mean… if I can’t, then I need to practice to improve that.
As for a timer, I’ve been wanting to buy a PACT timer but just haven’t gotten around to it. Meantime, there are some timers for the iPhone that work “good enough” (e.g. SureFire shot timer). They’re far from ideal, but for the price…. works well enough.
