LancerKagato Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So I recently moved to open from limited and I am doing something I've never done with my limited gun, I'm dipping my second shot low...sadly often into hard cover. I think I am fighting the recoil that is no longer there from the switch to open. Any experience, thoughts or drills to overcome this or am I just picking up new bad habits? BTW I went from a Tac-sport to a Czechmate, so its not learning a new trigger system or anything, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dis-1-Shooter Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Try a lighter recoil spring. The majority of open shooters run recoil spring weights between 7-10 lbs. Run the lightest that will allow your gun to run 100%. I personally run an ISMI 8 lb recoil spring. My gun is a 2011. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2011 Open guns are sprung much lighter than 11 pounds. I run 8# variable in mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancerKagato Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 thanks for all the responses! I'll play around with recoil springs and shoot a bunch more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Be sure youre not double tapping but are firing controlled doubles..... aka, a good sight picture for each trigger pull. Dbl taps will get you in trouble... 1 sight picture & pull trigger twice hoping gun is on target for your second shot. I had to break that habit a few years ago.

I'll play around with recoil springs and shoot a bunch more. Let us know how you make out. I am not having much luck with recoil springs. I purchased two 11 lbs for my Czechmate, and they are heavier than my stock. This was confirmed by the shell ejections (particularly noticeable with minor loads), as well as by feel. The 11 lb is manufactured for the SP-01, not the Czechmate, so that may have a bearing as although they work, they are different guns. I would like to play around with 8-10 lb springs, but they are very hard to get in Canada. Edited February 12, 2017 by abb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the gun is not malfunctioning then more often than not it's the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
