Another hundred. Draw is very fast now and I can feel the correct technique.
Range was not open till ten today so I will have to wait till Tuesdays c4 to confirm.

'nother century
another hundred last night....
this thread is kinda lonely...
Serious question AB: what's your PAR time on a diaper change?
Yeah man I have been slacking. Back on it tonight. I definitely feel the difference now more when I mess something up (grip, draw, finger position, trigger pull)
Depends on if there is a ND while the diaper is off. That adds a TON of time!
I bet Mrs. AB makes Mr. AB look like a rookie !
She probably does the magpul diaper drop and flip thing too !
What makes you think it's negligent ? They seem to be timed precisely for the most inopportune time of the procedure.Quote:

Another Hundred and there will be one tomorrow.
I expect to see some real results when I am shooting ALL NEXT WEEK !

I've been slacking on the mag changes and draws, but I've been working hard on getting into and out of shooting positions lately. There's only so many hours in a day!
Did a bunch of draws and mag changes over the last two days. Today I worked entirely in gloves.

FLT, I've been in my fortys for a few years now and my body does not respond like it did in my twentys. I work hard to maintain what I deem an acceptible level of fitness and it is not easy.
However I certainly wont give fuckers like Bill an inch..//insert dick joke here// and I know he would not expect any less.
'nother hundo tonight.... Very fast out of the holster.. might have to time it at the range next time.
The work does pay off!
last time I put it on a timer ,you were there. I believe it was 1.2 from an ALS to first shot.
I have recorded it in dry fire at .9 second, but I was told it was "simulated " so it didnt count ;-)
Much closer to 1 second now I would say
I'll look forward to the next trip to the range!
What kind of times are you guys getting with a ALS/SLS combo? I am trying to speed that up.
Evil,
About 8 months ago, recorded at the house with a .9sec par time set. I can consistantly draw from a regular ALS duty holster to full extension. However I was informed that was "simulated" At about the same time I did it on demand at the range and got it at 1.2 seconds. I have over 10k more draw strokes since then, probably closer to 20k. I think I could draw and hip shoot in under 1 sec and confident I could probably present to full extension sub 1 sec also.
My "how fast can you draw to the first shot" criteria is fairly realistic. I give NJC a hard time (and have done so with others in the past) because I can draw a LOT faster than I can accurately hit something, and most other folks can as well.
A long time ago, my buddies and I were shooting together regularly (I miss those days!). We arbitrarily decided that for any draw time to count for the record or bragging rights (Razz still holds that record, BTW), it had to be from seven yards (or more), it had to be to full extension with a two-handed shooting grip, and the shot must hit the A or C zone of a USPSA target.
Now, to be ultimately fair and not post unrealistic times, I won't post a shot time unless I meet all of the above criteria AND be able to reproduce the results at least eight out of ten times. Never mistake your record time for your "on demand" time. They will be different, I promise.
another hundred....
I'm going to just start saying "Ditto" like Swayse in Ghost !
You'll be the first person I know to wear a gun out from the outside in.
About to jump on a hundred myself.
Ditto
I went out to the range today and easily dropped 100 draws. Draw dry fire 5:1 for live runs. I wasn't having the best day out there today. I'd have an epic run and then go to hell the next one. Inconsistency gives me a headache, so I called it after about 100 rounds if that.
I think I am going out there tomorrow afternoon assuming the repair guy shows up on time in the morning.
Going to do a little bit of pistol say 100 rounds and about the same rifle.
Text me when you go. I'll be heading out tomorrow as well.
will do..
Dang, I wish I could get out there today. Work always seems to get in the way. But how else would I pay for ammo...............
I'm experiencing a period of personal development. I've learned some new footwork that I'm having to actually think about (for now) and because my brain is on my feet it darn sure isn't on my hands and trigger finger. I was out again today shooting and my hits were disappointing, although the clock time was pretty solid. I had to step back a second and think about what was going on, and it is that I have introduced something new into the mix that requires processing power. Now I just have to wait until the "new way" simply becomes "the way."
I hate these times, but I've learned to recognize them as progress even if hits all over the paper sure don't feel or look like it!
My time overlapped with AB at the range today for a little bit.
Made some payments on skills today. Lots of dot drills and trigger stripe drills.
Ran the 2-2-4-2-2 drill with the rifle.. Targets were at least 8 feet apart. From 10yds my fastest was 5.41 seconds. All hits were A zone, timer was a pact club. Not sure if this is my fastes, I only ran it 3 or 4 times and that was the fastest for the day. Will try again.
I also practiced the draw and one shot from an ALS holster. From a distance of 6 feet, draw with strong side only to full extension from the interview stance. Only did about 10 attempts. Fastest was 1.00 average was 1.14 on the same timer. Last time I tried it i was 1.2 range so the dry fire is definitely improving mechanics and technique.
I then shot the HK45 that I got in trade from Chenzzo.. I love this pistol. I shot 50 rounds. IT fits my hand better than the glock and even though the Da/SA trigger is long and light it shoots better for me. I think I am going to have to put a LEM kit and some night sights on it. Dont think my boss will allow the .45acp for duty, so I 'll try and get approval for off duty first.
Thats is all. Very positive day at the range, I enjoy it when I feel the vaue of every round fired.
I did so very poorly at the GSSF even on Sunday I am kind of in mourning. Not that I am even close to decent, and therefor already miles behind most folks on here and even further behind AB. It was at best abysmal.
I am somewhere between steps 4 and 5 in my grief.
I admire you guys dedication and skill level. I'm afraid the only thing I've ever put that level of work and dedication into was making money.
I finished last in the first match I ever shot. A few of the folks that beat me that evening long ago still shoot regularly, too. We all have to start somewhere!Quote:

What was the failure point? Identify weaknesses, develop a program to address them, practice the program, rinse, repeat. I wouldn't worry about taking a step back on the third match you've ever shot.Quote:

Funny thing is, I had problems with only 9mm glocks. I cleared the plate rack in 5.5 seconds with the 21. And I know that's not fast for most but that was for me.
Low left on a Glock can also be indicative of the finger not being flat enough across the trigger face or (but most likely and) pulling the trigger too fast for the grip you have. Remind me and I'll watch your grip when we shoot at C4.Quote:

NJC, AB, et al.
What do you think of the LaserLyte system (or similar) as an addition to your regimen?
Also, do you think that by racking the slide after every shot you ingrain that and will try to do it under stress?
Dale,
I constantly watch for it and sofar it has not been an issue. However I do not just dryfire on a whim..I have a routine of clearing the pistol or rifle, putting away the ammo, putting on my belt/holster, setting up my target, cheacking the firearm again etc.. that differentiates for me dry fire from everything else. Now can I say it works 100%, well yes up to now. I am very careful about my dry fire and have not racked the chamber on a live round at the range yet.
Now I guess I could drop the $400 for a training pistol or $200 for a resetting trigger but here is my problem with that. I want to practice on the firearm I carry and get used to how it feels and its trigger... for this reason I stay away from training guns.
I have very little experience with the laserlite system but people who have them love them. It is said to be very good for letting you see visually if any part of your technique is in need of work. Again to the best of my knowledge, the slide will still need to be racked each time so that the firing pin can actuate the laser unless you get a training gun, then see my above.
Dale, Dry practice works...I see the results.But it has to be concentrated, focused training on each trigger pull, not just counting off sloppy technique.
Hope this helps !
I think it is a great tool you would quickly grow out of. If you're paying attention to the front sight as you dry fire, you will know what position it was in when the sear broke. I would try the regular ol' dry fire consistently for a month and if you see no improvement, it might be time to spend the money. The key there is consistently.
If you can't see where the sight was when the sear broke, slow the trigger pull down until you do.
Oh, and I don't think you will start reflexively racking the slide under stress. If you think you might, give it a month or so and at a C4 shoot I will induce some stress and we can see what you do.
