What will your test include?I bet the difference is 2/10ths of a sec, which is a lot. I'll put it on a timer tomorrow and see

Sounds like a interesting test, please publish your data. You might want alternate the "popper release" used so there is no advantage of one over the other.I'll replicate the start with a target in about the same location as the target on the right side of the wall
5 draws after pushing the popper over,
5 draws with just touching the popper
5 draws with letting the popper fall
Average the time and see if there is any difference.
I'll test that also. I didn't read the WSB, so I'm not sure what was actually required. But we'll see which is faster
Popper was supposed to be pushed over at start. That was what they had on the sheet. Toes on steel, push popper over.
I'd like to reiterate Matt's thoughts; The Written Stage Briefing (WSB) is the 'bible' for that stage. It specifies what a competitor can, and cannot, do (within USPSA rules of course).
Wow, a lot of effort analyzing a start procedure that might add 0.15 seconds to the stage and dissecting some poor person's write-up for a monthly match. Keep this up and I'm bringing Jac-Jac back from the grave. It might take a bunch of voodoo, but I just got this really good instructional book ...
