  1. I'm glad to see you are figuring it out for yourself. That is why my first post was very simplistic. What we figure out through our own experience (when pointed in the right general direction) seems to stick better. The video of Travis when analysed is a great teaching tool. The bottom line for me, is seeing is quick. If you see it, it feels slow, which is fast because there is no confusion and you do only what you need to do which equals smooth, and we know smooth is fast Clear as mud?
  2. It doesn't take any longer to load from the hip than from the buckle. What Shred said is very acurate, getting back on target is much easier with the gun high. You can get the gun in the mag before the ejected mag hits your belt with some practice, it's getting the gun on target that is simpler if the gun is high. Less movement = lots of good stuff. The mroe movement you add to the reload the easier it is to screw something up. Watch TT Very little movement = very freaking fast, and he can load as fast from the hip also. The getting the mag to the gun quicker theory doesn't hold much water with me, because you can have the mag to the mag well before the old mag falls out with some practice from the hip. Some people load good low, but it is much more complicated, especially since you can't see the mag well. Seeing is fast and consistant. Good luck in your journey.
  3. Watch Travis Tomasie on Saul Kirch's web site. Keeping the gun high is much more efficient, plus it give you a good view of the magwell. If you can't see why it is faster watching the video, post again.
  4. Depends how often I forget to turn them off. They last a long time if I turn them off. I double plug so unless I'm shooting or RO'ing an open shooter, I leave them off.
  5. "You have 2 dogs in your stomach. One dog is fear, and the other dog is courage. The 2 dogs are having a fight. Which dog will win?" "The dog that you feed will win."
  6. It helps to know where your gun hits at many distances. I sight my limited gun so that I can hold 6 O'clock in the upper A/B zone A and get a dead center hit in the box. A fiber optic can mess with you. Make sure you see the black around the top of the FO when sighting in.
  7. It is putting what you want to shoot on the "top" of the front sight. Think of an icecream cone. It is sighting it so that if you line up the sights with the top of the cone, you hit the icecream.
  8. I think it is easier to set the popper. With foot activators people do weird stuff, ie. hucking mags at them to activate them early. I've seen more REF's from the boxes than any other standard prop so I may be biased.
  9. L10 is not a single stack class. There are MANY L10 guns that have double stack mags. This is a pet peeve of mine since I made M in L10 before Limited.
  10. No one has come up with a good reason that I know. If you miss during a classifier you are toast anyway, so that doesn't matter
  11. Ditto to the above. Find a distinguishing mark on your front sight and make sure you see it. If I need to see a shot really well I make myself see the serations. Being lazy is the biggest reason people shoot bad shots. Remember, there is no slow or fast, only efficient and non-efficient.
  12. .8's at 10 yards, limited sights, getting A's and your splits are better than the best shooters use in a match. I don't think there is much anyone here can teach you, since the best in the world average slower times than you.
  13. I hope your colon is ok Biscuits and gravy rule!!! Eat whatever the hell you want to, life is too short
  14. At least you didn't start a shooter with someone down range... ... that happened this weekend, and the RO went from 6'4" to about 5' in a half a second. It does suck though.
  15. Common reply here: "Yep, it's a perfect double! Too bad, a "perfect double" scores Alpha, Mike "
  16. Take of your socks so you can use your toes too Try counting all of your shots in practice when you break them. I use this method when I find myself getting reckless, it is not slower at all for me, generally it is faster and more precise.
  17. from my experience..no change in recoil or velocity..the small rifle primer is harder and won't flow or flatten as bad with high pressure rounds.. on the converse side if your round is not high pressure enough..the primer doesn't seal as well and your get gas release around the primer and will get a gas erosion ring on your breechface.. what primers are you using now..and what do they look like.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I learned that one the hard way with my 38 super, pushed the primer into the friggin' hole for the firing pin, and it left me wondering why my gun wouldn't go bang
  18. We do as soon as the stages are put away the match is done
  19. If you don't like it please let me know. I'm looking for a good one.
  20. I'm glad the support people have broken the rules for me a time or two on that one. I've spent a lot of $$$ with Dillon, but not one penny on broken parts, even for the few on my 1050. Long live true customer service!!!
  21. There is no slow motion or fast motion, I only visualize the sight picture I need to see for each shot. If you let slow or fast enter your thinking it will take your focus away from the shooting, and that's all that really matters
  22. ... but are you going to use it? How about a vertical forgrip? I bought one and it seems to work pretty good for me. I used to do biathalons so I like locking my elbow into my side for long shot (some habits die hard) and with the vertical grip I can do that easier. Any thing really dumb about it for 3-gun? I've only done a few matches so I'm pretty dumb about them.
  23. You get a good gunmith to make you one using their parts Benny Hill does a pretty decent job www.triangleshootingsport.com
