Burkett Reloads are an amazing way to develop your hand speed and precision. You're essentially breaking the reload into three separate chunks making it easier to develop each part before putting it all together. This same method can be applied to the draw. See "Burkett Draw." The Burkett Draw and Reload are demonstrated in this video here.

I hope this helps. Have a good one.

Shoot Fast, Don't Miss.
