I'm not one of those folks who can stand and do 10 million draws in a row. I get bored, lose focus, and start working bad habits, instead of refining technique. Its just one part of my mental temperament. Here's one of the ways I keep things more interesting - note that I left a couple of key points out when I shot the vid, so check out the comments following it...

Looks like someone is getting ready for the Florida Open...classic targets I see.
Definitely getting ready for Florida, yeah. But, I love Classic targets for this kind of work - the asymmetric A-zone makes me work a little harder, and the target is smaller overall, so... Its not unusual for me to mix target types in these sorts of things, too, using whatever I have on hand...
Does your firearm allow for DA trigger action? Or maybe just working sights and transitions?
Trying to cycle the action time after time would be ugggg.

High, Steve. My gun is a single action 1911 based Open gun built by Brazos Custom Gunworks. So, I will generally start with a cocked pistol (obviously, unloaded), and drop the hammer on the first shot, and then release and pull the trigger again for each shot, working against the trigger takeup and the force from the sear spring.
Doing that, you should be able to see the sights on each press, and also visually pick up any sort of trigger jerk or flinch.
Same thing applies to a Glock or other striker fire pistols, or other single action guns. With a DAO or DA/SA gun, you just keep on pullin' the trigger as usual...
Thanks for the question!
Dave
Nice idea Dave- I have done some work like this- need to do more.
