This drill uses an app target and is designed to strengthen your ability to index the sights and increase your muscle memory through a five minute repetition workout. Expect your times to be a lot slower than a life size target. However the payoff is a refinement in your technique. If you can I recommend placing a life size target behind the iPhone or iTouch. Five minutes might be too long, if so then switch to (2) or (3) minutes.
Basically what you will see is an image popping in and out, you draw when you see it and re-holster when the image disappears, repeat. With these drills I also wanted to highlight another way to use the app for your training.

Variations: If you have made some of the other drills then you should have the baselines already for when you draw on the app target with the Strong/Weak Hanks and the Surrender position, these drills use the baselines of those drills.

UPDATE 02/16/2010
I worked out with these settings and I like the Drills. Its pure repetition. Had to tweak them a little. For example I increased Restart Drill In from 00.04.00 to 00.05.00, that extra second, I don't feel so rushed to put the weapon back in the holster. I also tweaked the drill to incorporate working on your breathing as I found that with these settings I could breath in, draw, aim, pull trigger, exhale while placing weapon back on holster, start to breath in again and repeat.
I found a good rhythm and worked on it. Try it and let me know.
