Trigger freeze is caused from tension, the cure is to relax and see your shots and practice. PM sent.

It doesn't make sense to me. I've shot the same splits with many different platforms of guns (1911, Glock, XD, Sig) and different trigger weights (sub 1 lb to 4 lb triggers) and they are all fast enough. I think you shouldn't shoot splits faster than you can see. If you can get .16's and see them, then you have nothing to worry about. If you just want to pull the trigger fast, well, I don't think that is a smart way to improve. In my thinking, it's not how fast you can shoot at a target that matters, it is how fast you can hit a target where you want to that counts. .18 splits would will bring you well into GM class if you do everthing else properly. I've seen very few shooters who splits are the biggest thing needing improvement, but since fast splits sound cool, too many people worry about pulling the trigger too fast (faster than they can see the shot.) Good luck Seeing faster is the only way to reduce the time between shots for me.

Thanks! Julie where are the vids of you?

Here are a few video of the current L10, World Production, and National Production Champion. These videos are posted with Mr. Sevigny's permission. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 Video 4 Video 5 Dave is a great shooter, and an even nicer guy. If you want to be a great shooter, and ever get the chance to shoot with him look at the ways he treats everyone around him. The sport could definitely use more people like him. If you have any negative comments, please keep them for to yourself, as their were some people who chose to criticise him "performance" in previous postings. What he did with the challenges he face was truley great. Dave was very generous to give me permission to share these, so please enjoy watching a truely great shooter, and if you ever get the chance to meet him, you can learn as much from him watching what he does when he is not shooting. Truely a stand-up guy in my brief experience. If your out their lurking Dave, thanks!

videos here opps someone beat me to it.

It sounds like you might be double tapping when you do two shots instead of two controlled shots. When you are aware of the second shot, the transitions take less time, when you double tap it you hesitate getting to the next target, taking more time.

I'm planning on coming up Friday afternoon, I can bring some plastic and my plastic bending stuff if you have some time, or bring your holster to the match and I'll see if I can't help.

Working on accuracy today, I thought this would be a good one for any level shooter. I did it at 10 yards 7 feet apart, 2 to the body, 2 two the head. You could mix up the engagement. here

My perfect limited gun... ... is in the mind of Fred Craig somewhere

how about both?

Pretty basic but it works Template in Excel

barricade drill: plate rack 7-15 yards depending on skill level, one shot on each side until all the plates are down (ala the Burner) Accuracy: 1 Ipsc target starting at 7 yards (limited) 10 yards open. 6 shots 6 seconds par time, upper a/b zone. Must have 3 clean runs then move back 2 yards and try again. (ala Garcia) Transitions: 2 partials Ipsc target at 3-5 yards and 1 usp popper (or 8" plate) at 15-25 yards. Two on each Ipsc then PP mixed with 2 on 1st paper, PP, 2 on 2nd papper.

It's amazing how fast you can get the new one there after a few (thousand) trys

If you do it, do it for the "cool factor," regular sights won't hold you back, even the plain ol' black on black ones.

I guess a Dremel tool wouldn't be a good idea?

only 5 years Still working on it here to, trusting isn't always easy. The worst for me is seeing a bad shoot, looking at target, and then shooting more targets and not even looking at them. That is an AWEFUL feeling

Can't help you there, but I've done a bit of experimenting, and if you put the mag pouches IPSC style. Point of hip/straight up (going around to the back) you can reload as fast as you can any other way I've found. The only real advantage to this is you can shoot and division with this configuration, and when you go prone there is nothing poking you in the belly. Waiting for the first mag to fall out of the gun seems to be the limiting factor on speed of the reload if you have decent flexibility. If you go too fast, you hit the bottom of the base pads of the one coming out and you push it right back in.

The only way I know to get the rust off is hours of practice, the sooner you put the hours in, the quicker your recovery Also be patient and see what you need to see, trying to be fast, well we know where that leads...

"Don't treat me like I rode the short bus to the range." ROFL

Like this here or here this sorry about the poor quality, but this works ok for me. I find most many people who have a hard time getting back on the gun don't get the strongside thumb out of the way.

In looking at it more and watching the brass, I think it might be a limitation of my Cybershot in video mode. I think that it was only catching the peak of the recoil in some frames and not others. I know my .45 doesn't shoot as flat as it looks in some of the frames It bucks like a mule. I just looked up the specs and in video mode it only captures 16 fps. Maybe that is not enough to be accurate in recoil? The targets were all far enough away (15+ yards) that I think I was trying to see the same sight picture for most all the shots. It was a very slow and painful stage

Yah, I don't know what was up with that. I was shooting about 185 pf. When I watched it the first time I thought it almost looks like I had a few rounds that were hot. The targets were at a 10-15 yard away. The center had a donut and you had to either wait for plates to fall or go back and forth, I generally just wait. I was shooting about 185 PF I had 5 shots get away from me this match, the timing from my limited is just enough different that I had bads shot were I shouldn't have.

Bruce is the man for the Sig trigger, if you are going to shoot a Sig, get to know BG,

My understanding is you can't use Hogue grips because it changes the profile of the grip. If you use a sleeve it has to match the profile. I might have it wrong, but it makes sense or thing could get way out of control with defining what a "sleeve" grip is.
