Upload a range clip of a draw drill and get your draw-to-first-shot time, every split, and total string time, measured off the audio track in your browser. The tool auto-detects the shot timer start beep and each gunshot, lets you correct every marker against the waveform, grades the draw against concealed carry and competition standards, and exports the numbers as CSV or JSON. Nothing is uploaded; there is no account and no subscription.
Draw time from concealment has a clear working ladder: 2.0 seconds to an accountable hit is the carry standard, 1.5 seconds is the professional standard, and 1.0 second is expert performance. From an open competition rig, a sub-second draw is the benchmark; the Bill Drill advanced standard assumes it. If you carry concealed, test the whole chain with the F.A.S.T. drill, which starts from a concealed draw and punishes a rushed first pair.
Where the time goes matters more than the number. Film from the side and check three gaps: hands to the gun, gun clearing the holster to full presentation, and presentation to the shot breaking. Most shooters lose their time in the last gap, waiting on a sight picture their grip should have delivered. Your gear sets the floor too: a rig from our concealed carry holster guide with a repeatable index beats a collapsing hybrid, and for match use an OWB competition holster buys real tenths. For full-string review with a burned-in overlay clip, run the same footage through the shot timer video annotator.
A draw to an accountable first hit in 2.0 seconds from real concealment is the working standard for armed citizens, 1.5 seconds is the commonly taught professional standard, and 1.0 second on demand is expert-level performance. These times assume a hit on a realistic target around 7 yards, not just a shot fired. Measure against the target you are actually hitting, because a fast miss does not count.
A sub-1.0 second draw to an acceptable sight picture is the standard competition goal from an open rig, and it is what an advanced Bill Drill time (a clean run under 2.0 seconds) requires. A 1.5 second draw with a guaranteed A-zone hit is solid club-level shooting. Open holsters without a cover garment are meaningfully faster than concealment, so do not compare your match draw against carry standards.
The tool reads the audio track of your uploaded range video in the browser. It detects the shot timer start beep as a sustained 1 to 4 kHz tone, detects each gunshot as a broadband audio transient, and reports the gap between beep and first shot as your draw time, plus the splits between every following shot. Every marker can be dragged, nudged in 10 millisecond steps, added, or deleted, so you can correct any detection against the video.
Set the start marker manually. Pause the video on your start signal, the timer beep from a neighboring bay, the moment your hand moves, or any visible start cue, and press Set start at playhead. The tool then measures draw time from that marker to the first detected shot exactly as it would from an auto-detected beep.
No. The video is opened from your browser's file picker and analyzed locally with browser media APIs. Nothing is uploaded to any server, there is no account requirement, and the tool is free. If you log a run to your drill history while signed out it is stored in your browser; signing in syncs drill history to your account.
Auto-detected markers are a first pass; after you confirm or nudge them against the waveform and visible recoil, timings land within roughly plus or minus 0.02 seconds of a hardware shot timer. Clean outdoor audio with the phone behind the shooter is easiest. Indoor echo, suppressed fire, and rimfire are harder and usually need a manual correction or two.
Draw time is the elapsed time from the start signal (usually a shot timer beep) to your first shot breaking. Split time is the gap between consecutive shots after that. A 1.3 second draw with 0.25 splits means the first shot broke 1.3 seconds after the beep and each following shot came a quarter second apart. This tool reports both, plus total string time.
Yes. When the analyzed string matches a drill in the training library, six shots for the Bill Drill or five shots for the 5x5 drill, the tool offers a one-tap log to that drill's session history. Runs are stored in your browser when signed out and sync to your account when you sign in on the drill page.
The Bill Drill (draw plus six rounds into the A-zone at 7 yards) is the classic open-holster benchmark, and the F.A.S.T. drill tests a concealed draw under precision pressure. For pure draw work, run one-shot draws against a shrinking par time in dry fire, then confirm at the range. Film the confirmation runs and measure them here so the improvement is a number, not a feeling.
Not by itself. A dot rewards a consistent presentation because the dot only appears when the gun arrives aligned; shooters with a grooved index draw about the same speed with irons or a dot, while an inconsistent presentation is slower with a dot because you hunt for it. Film your presentation and check whether the gap between the gun stopping and the shot breaking is where your time is going.
