Dry fire and the trigger on the second shot.
ecolyer325 replied to Suer's topic in Training Techniques
You just act as if you were pulling the trigger as usual. That's the way I have done it, sometimes I don't even cock the trigger for the first 'shot', depending on what I'm practicing. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
That's a brilliant idea! Gotta try it! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

How big of a bench
ecolyer325 replied to Desk-Jockey's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
As stated previously go with as big as you possibly can, except in depth. Make the bench as long as space will allow but I honestly would not make it 4' deep. You are going to have a hard time getting to the back of the bench, also things will get pushed back and lost in that last 12-18". I have done the deep benches before and unless you have really long arms it just becomes annoying, now I usually build 27-33" and 36" would be my max depth. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -

I run magnum primers when I need to. I have never noticed much of a difference in the feeling of the load. I have chronoed the different primers and never noticed a significant difference. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
Compression socks: just silly looking or do they help?
ecolyer325 replied to Sdlrodeo's topic in Physical Training
I wear tall compression/athletic socks. But the main reason I wear them is because they are tall, they keep me warmer on cold days and when I wear shorts my legs are less likely to get burnt, especially since I'm always in long pants for work and my legs are almost bleach white.

I was able to score 15k small winchester primers from cabelas, a couple dollars more than I spend but it's what was available. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
match day mental fog after travelling
ecolyer325 replied to obsessiveshooter's topic in Mental Conditioning
When I stay away from home for whatever reason, I always bring my own pillow and blanket, I also will take a small dose of melatonin, gaba and ZMA. All this helps me sleep well away from home. I also try to continue eating my normal diet even if that means bringing my own food with me. Just try to keep everything as normal/consistent as possible. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
Yes. The pocket pro can go much lower than the CED7000. I have both, I like the CED for dry fire due to the size and how fast I can change par times, but I have the rubber case on it and put dense foam in front of the buzzer to quiet it down. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Anyone have a Mark 7 SWAGEsense?
ecolyer325 replied to ams30gts's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I'm running it for my .40 setup. It works well. Had a few ringers here and there and it stopped it right away. Just took a little tweaking to get it set, other than the extra small nut it is easier to get set. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk -
I've used auto brake cleaner, I have a larger supply being a tech, on many guns. It works really well at removing all the grim. It also works really well at removing oil from anywhere it gets into. So if you spray it into the trigger parts it may take away to much of the oil and you will want to strip it and re-oil/lube everything. If I'm not detail stripping the gun I will usually just use the brake cleaner in the slide and barrel and it you're careful you can hit the frame rails. Also you can just spray it right onto a rag and wipe everything down. And brake clean destroys fiber optic and and adhesives. So be careful but it does work well, that's why gun scrubber works, it's brake clean with firearm marketing. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Welcome! I'm from Bucks County. So not too far from your area. And like other people have said there is plenty of shooting in our general area. Search for clubs in Area 8 on the USPSA sight, I know of 3 or four within 2 hours. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

They also have quantity discounts. The codes are listed in their website, min 10k round order but I think it's better than 5% off. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

I roll size all my brass, I really on reload .40. It serves a few purposes for me, along with helping the feeding issues related to .40. Roll sizing is another step/check of my brass. If I have a 9mm,or any other oddball brass, sneak in I will know before loading. I can cull any brass the is excessively hard to roll size. And it helps to get any last little bit of media out of the cases before it goes to the reloader. It serves me as another check and balance along with the function of better brass.

Being new into USPSA you might be thinking that your grip is sufficient but during a match situation some people tend to let there grip lax a bit. And during a match you may not even realize you are no longer gripping hard and might be causing the issues. Next live fire practice session play with your grip and see if you can induce a failure. It's also possible that everything might need a good cleaning. A few polymer guns of mine do weird things after the get really dirty. And make sure your mags are clean and fully seated too.
