Draw and Mag Change Challenge

I believe I caught him in stride, taking off, so perhaps difficult to say, unless you would prefer a flat footed shuffle for more stability.... if that's what you mean. This was a more "quick walk" I asked them to do for the photo setup that followed.

You didn't see what's happening in the bottom photo? Something important going on there.

Glad you liked the photos.

Yeah, from ball of the foot to ball of the foot while in motion. Keeps the head from bobbing up and down, keeping the sights on target. Also allows squeezing the trigger from ball to ball while have rigid recoil abutment. Also used to keep the shooter from stepping on or in something he can't get back out of. Also keeps the shooter from stumbling over debris by sweeping foot. If he's on the heel its because he planted it. Anal, I understand, but that's kinda what we do.

Yeah. His slide was locked to the rear after running dry and his finger transitioned to straight and off the trigger.

Good observation on the lock-back and finger transition. Remember this is a sequence of perhaps 40-50- photos, with me tracking beside them. His next split second move was to combat reload without breaking stride or synchronicity. I liked this photo because it showed the discipline of returning to off-trigger even if split-second, before transitioning to reload. This is what AB is talking about - so much drilling, it just becomes second nature. I have to admit, I was surprised when I saw this frame - I would have thought it would have been to go directly from firing to combat reload, in this situation. Impressive discipline. (Of course bearing in mind I asked them to boogie and rapid fire as quickly as possible).

J, I have also seen rolling on the edge of the foot used for folks that just can't seem to stop bobbing their heads. . . maybe it is just for fat people who tend to . . waddle, I use it to good effect as long as the knees stay flexible (bent).

My only point being there is more than one way to skin a cat and still wind up with a high quality skinned cat.

Well, he works at Talon so he undoubtedly learned that technique from serving with the Kangaroo Cavalry in space and fighting through Nazi moon bases where he swallowed a nuclear warhead in order to save the inhabitants of the 9 known dimensions. Somehow conveniently, there's no quasar room clearing classes on the site but I'll need to email Avery to try to line it up. We know, we know.

[Rumbler]

Pretty sure it is 10 dimensions in all . . . . The tenth is a closely guarded secret of the Socialist Republic of Milkheadedness.

[NJC]

Just did mine...

[AB]

How was it?

[NJC]

well it was twice as many draws as I usually do..30 were strong hand only and the last 10 were done with my left hand..getting the best sight picture and keeping it after that many draws kinda sucked so they took a lot longer than the others.

[NJC]

Just did another hundo draws and dry fires, F the pretenders !
