Right. The banging around thing is quite annoying. I also have them w/ ratchet. I just buy individual links and bag of pins, cheaper than the complete set. While the Lynx is very rigid the ratchet compliments it to make the gears most stable.

Wondering why no mention of Shotmaxx 2 by Double Alpha in later posts. I had the Sm 1 and its still working for 3 yrs now and counting anf Ive given to my shooter-son, only the rubber strap broke but cannot be replaced so I improvised a strap from other wristwatches.
Im on Sm 2 now w/ no questions asked 3 yrs warranty. The things I like are the features that are very usefull to live and dry fire trainings like the Par times, splits, 3 and 5min. countdown timers for dfire, stopwatch to time movers in matches, records 10 Lfire strings for review later, buzzer vol adjustability for live fire while double plugged and late night df in the house, good battery, backlight, and a lot lot more, all in my wrist. Very handy, wearable in all shooting occasions and doesnt get in the way. Ive had belt clipped timers but most of the time they got dislodged when Im shooting in awkward positions and lots of running. If not dislodged the buttons are inadvertently pushed by my body part activating another start beep in the middle of a string/run, etc. Very annoying and inconvenient. AMG is not available to me so I cant compare it. Even then waiting for several weeks/mos. upon purchase is not for me. Maybe they are ok for ROing other shooters but the SM is also good if not better for its handiness sans a bluetooth connectivity. -
In all my drills by whoever author, Im always aware of the quality of my grip. Its the most neglected but very important requirement in accurate fast shooting I believe.

That beavertail thing with a thumbrest is not legal at all. Thumb rests are crutches, unnecessary with a correct grip.
Irons tall enough to be seen through the optic is something you will have to setup using aftermarket sights. Don't know why you would want them. They are completely unnecessary.
Fully agree 100%

Not necessarily harder with out knowing what you're already doing. But just really focus on that thing, make sure you don't start just going through the motions. Something like trigger control at speed is probably a good dryfire drill. Next time you go to the range you could do it live fire and go back and forth live to dry. Once you can get something that works and know what it feels like it's just a matter of reps with a focus on getting that feeling. Doing doubles or Bill drills in live fire will tell you if you're doing it right.
But you'll likely always need to fight with this a little. I still over tense my hand and push shots low from time to time, not as low or as often as I used to but it happens. If it puts it in perspective I made GM a couple years ago.
Great post
Thank you 
for sharing

Nope -- grip strength alone may not be key to shooting performance but it sure does help. We both know why too. The more vice like our grip is, the faster we can pull the trigger without moving the firearm in the process. Since I shoot revolver, grip strength is very critical in performance.
My bet is that any competitive shooter, male or female, who notes what they think is a weakness will train to overcome that weakness. If they think it is a mental issue, they will test out some of the mental skills techniques common today. Most likely though, if they think it is physical strength, they will go after physical training of some sort.
Part of the mental skills game is eliminating stressors. Someone may have enough of any physical ability to do something really well but if they think they are lacking, they will bring that with them into competition and these sorts of thoughts are not good for performance unless they can block them -- which is difficult. Easier to go into the event confident that they are physically ready.
So maybe they don't need to do any sort of grip strength training and maybe they do. One thing for sure, I give the edge to the guy who enters an event confident of his physical ability to perform in that event so if someone thinks they need to work on grip strength -- they need to go for it. Unless they do something real stupid like way too many reps or way too much weight and end up tearing tendons, I do not see how it will hurt and in fact think it will surely help.

My mbx pro series has it and I like it very much. 3.5lbs, very short reset, almost no take up, straight trigger. Im just wondering why POF is advising against it in pcc9.
DOH! MBX, not MPX
Nolan
Can you elaborate? It was about my MBX not MPX. And POF triggers.
and why dont you posts your concerns in that thread?
You drag it out here to support your opinion in this topic? -
You guys trying to turn this beforum into THAT forum w/ ill mannered condescending veiled sarcastic rediculing posts? Thank you for letting the benosverse know the real you.

Spoken like someone that’s never shot a carbine competitively… or certainly not at a high level.
Well, Im/was into prod, std and open handgun, 3 gun, shotgun and lately pcc. And to me pcc has the least almost non existent recoil of them all. I dont need to shoot at high level to know that.

Is this really an issue in pcc 9?

When the lens is covered in front and you aim at a target (with both eyes open of course) and see the target w/ the dot superimposed, it means your vision is focused on the target, which is the designed purpose of the red dot. But if you only see the dot sans the target, you are focused on the dot which is not the optimum way of aiming with a red dot because it is slower VS the target focused aim. Because when in dot-focused aim, the vision locks on the target first then shifts to the dot Ala iron sight aiming it is slower. In target focused aim, the vision locks on the target and see the dot on it without any shifting in focus. The tape over the lens let's you know if you are target focused or not. Try it both ways to know the difference.

you have me curious now lol.

I’ve heard of some doing this but I don’t want to rely on this as my only tactic to shoot, kind of defeats the purpose of the dot in the first place.
Actually it enhances its purpose, not defeat

I cover the front of the lens w/ electrical tape or any opaque tape and focus my vision on the target, not thru the lens. I hit 2 birds in one stone, I'm seeing the target and dot the correct way and protect the lens from the blast and dirt.

I remove scope cover on make ready and put my hand/arm over my reddot gun in holster without violating ready position

I ended going back to my DAA Pro Competition belt. Nothing really wrong with the Lynx system, I just prefer the ratchet system I installed on the DAA belt.
I do miss not being able to put the rig inside my shooting bag, but will have to live with that. Still keeping my Lynx belt; not ruling out I may go back to it at some point.
Try putting your ratchet to your lynx

A bit out of topic.
When I migrated to Open years ago My Open glock 17 in my profile worked in 9 major after some tweaking. I used gk 17 mags w/ taylor freelance extension to 170mm. Im in ipsc country so my pf was in the 165-170 range. Only the mini red dots wont last to 3k rnds so I used the old cmore sliderides. I had 2 of such pistols then. I shoot them a lot w/ regularity. One problem I foresee in gk Open set up in 9 major is it can fire a bit out of battery. W/ major pf in 9mm I decided not to risk it. If gk has them in .38super I would not change to 2011s.

As one gets faster, in the 1 sec and less range, I believe draw will be just a bit faster than reload. Just a wee bit.
-
It speeds up your draw by .5sec

POF advises not to use this in PCCs. But I read several here use it. MBX Pro Series even has it out of the box.
What gives? -
Got my Lynx belt. In my practice and match experience, Its far superior than the common in/out competition belt. In function and aesthetics.

Peak Performance by Charles Garfield is a great read for anyone competing at any level.
I've gifted copies to many shooters and most: if following the directions, will improve.
Maybe you meant Peak Performers by C. Garfield?
or maybe Peak Performance by Stulberg and Magness?

“Until today…” meaning, it has stopped working today?
All my Open guns have rub marks under the comp by the grod. And all are running fine since I can remember.
eta. The rub marks doesnt mean the grod is binding the comp. its rubbing maybe due to vibration as it fires. Before and after firing the comp has ample clearance from the grod.

After reading all posts above. Maybe I will just use this as dress belt when mine arrives
New Popper Calibration Procedure
in USPSA/IPSC Rules
Posted
Im ipsc and this is always my point. If hit and did not fall, the hit must have dislodged or disturbed the thing that prevented it to fall and when calibrated it will most probably fall. But the rules say not to touch or reset it after the shot and before cal. which make the cal. process unreasonable.
