Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. Kind of funny. I glanced through their rules and some were about climbing over walls. Things like that. Along with the usual gun divisions and everything else. At first I thought thos was going to be about PCSL? matches.
  2. The last memory stage I shot was reasonable. From 3 positions I could shoot everything without confusion. Some shooters shot more as they were moving laterally. But some memory stages can get ridiculous.
  3. It might be different for new shooters who are initially learning with a dot. Good shooters who have been using irons for 10-20-30 years already know how to align them the sights. If the benefit for them using an optic is improving their grip and trigger control their overall iron sight shooting improves also.
  4. I used to shoot ICORE but havent been for several years. As far as shooting with an optic a discussion I had with a good shooter convinced me to give it a try. He always shot Limited and Singlestack with iron sights of course but he started shooting Carry Optics with a slide mounted optic. Later he noticed that his iron sight shooting had improved and he wished he'd tried an optic years ago. I've been shooting in the provisional Limited Optics, still getting used to it but improving. The first time I shot with iron sights again I could tell I was using target focus more.
  5. People that just shoot pistols seem to really have issues if they have to go prone or shoot a low port. When I say issues I don't mean issues making the shots happen, I just mean they don't like to LOL Some shooters can go prone or shoot from a low port but don't like to do it, but there are some that just physically can't do it. I can go prone but not just pop up if prone was in the middle of a stage.
  6. That's expected in 3 gun. In USPSA when they definitely have two places to shoot a specific target from it's usually to accommodate shooters who have difficulty getting into the shooting position, prone for example. Not to allow an easier shot if you can run up closer. I've seen alternate positions to avoid a Cooper tunnel. Usually the alternate position costs you some time to avoid the problem position.
  7. There can be specialty matches where shooters know that the match has more running, obstacles, climbing then other matches. As for 100yds running, hurdles, many more difficult shooting positions, that's fine at a match thats know for those challenges but I don't expect or want it at a typical level 2 or above USPSA match
  8. I have shot the Schmidt standards several times (starts with 50 yard target with par time). This has been at the Western States Single Stack match. Even as a B shooter it was fun.
  9. I didn't quite watch the whole video but didn't see him go prone. More low ports then I'd like to see. But I turn 71 next month and am portly. I still can squat pretty low unless the port is too low. At level 2s and above I expect to see prone, low ports, maybe a stage with a longer run in it. I don't have a problem going prone if it's the last position. Most Cooper tunnels I've seen weren't too bad. I can still move around but am not fast
  10. I just watched a video of Mason Lane shooting CO at a big match in the Caribbean. Noticed there were a lot of low walls or ports to shoot under.
  11. More power on target is the reason for major pf scoring. But along with that comes more recoil.
  12. Oops. Forgot revolver. Since they allowed the eight shots I haven't seen anyone shooting major
  13. I've never shot open. But leave Open, Limited and SS major/minor.
  14. Welcome, from Nor Cal. Have fun!
  15. I've never used them on a 1911 but I love the feel of the Lok palm swell grips on my CZs. I don't have an issue with standard thickness 1911 grips but am curious how palm swells would feel on them. Those bite grips do look interesting if you like the 2011 feel.
