    How to speed up transitions or move faster

    in Tips for Improvement

    Posted · Edited by biglou13

    I agree with the guys above

     

    but @ 56 start slow learn perfect form

     

    i'd start with air squat.... Learn perfect form

     

    box squats 

     

    jumping squats box jumps

     

    Weighted back squat

     

    front sqaut

     

    skip rope

     

    double unders

     

    shuttle run short sprints quick stop/box sprints

     

    but I do love the dead lift.      But do yourself a favor start light learn perfect form!!!

     

    you really don't need to go super heavy 

     

    progress so to sumo dead lift high pulls 

     

    then cleans

     

    from here your getting into the realm of oly lifting.  

     

    Im not against serious  oly lifting but it's a huge time comitment to get proficient. I'd rather be shooting

     

    once your cleans are good  ...........     

     

    My favorite........

     

    tire flips!!!   Depending on strength and  tire weight.  The clean style flip is explosive and is an oly core move ish .   Not to mention it is super satisfying to flip a tire.

     

    Much of of the above exercises  are progressive movements toward the more complex/ compound

     

    For this sport,  I would simplify it down to to shuttle runs/ box sprints,  tire flips  clean and jerk  jumping rope, .....  With ocassional pus up pull up, kettle bell work , heavy farmers walks.   ( the later 2 help with grip stregnth)

    Factory guns/ springs.

     

    cci primers... ( I'll confirm tomorrow)

    100% on factory ammo

     

    100% on my reloads ( 550, Winchester primer, mixed brass, title group)

    Thanks all. I measure a few of mine and got .003 avg..    

     

    Next question ion my friend loads on a 650 ( I load on 550). 

     

    What could be going wrong other than bad QC ?

     

     on 550 I'd look at primer cup adjustment ,.

     

    I know little to nothing if 650.

    puff load? Reloading issue

    in General Reloading

    Posted · Edited by biglou13

    again helping friend with issues on reloads

     

    9mm

    mix brass

    jacketed 124 gr bullet

    cci primer

    tite group  (3.8 -3.9gr)

    dillon dies

    dillon 650

     

    helping friend trouble shoot load problems

    i was  shooting with friend to night and had an uncomfortable amount of "puff loads" 

    bullet left barrel

    very soft recoil

    some failure to eject or sillier fault 

    consistient oal ( out of 20 mic'd)

    said casings had darker markings (scorch) than good cartridges

    3 different guns

    2 different shooters

     

    i have 20 rounds that i will weigh later

     

    no weights yet

     

    thinking out loud.......

     

    is it possible powder gets " damp"

     

     it is possible, eventough he has powder check,  that powder weight is off.....  With  3.8 title group load how sensitive is powder check? ( I'll weigh in am)   I'm a 550 guy so I know 

     

    i doubt bullet Diameter would make that big a difference.?

     

    Static ice charge affecting drop?

    Cold barrel?

    in Precision Rifle

    Posted

    sounds normal.    warm bore is always different from cold bore.  (with all the bolt actions ive owned)

     

    sub moa cold to   moa  warm , 1 (ish) moa change is not a big deal   actually decent for factory barrel

     

    read up on ocw (ish)  testing and shooting groups in a round robin (ish) same load, slow fire to get better idea of rifle overall accuracy.  

     

    ill bet you could squeeze our more accuracy tuning hand load

     

     

    Cold barrel?

    in Precision Rifle

    Posted

    My best groups were cold bore....   With a minute or 2 between shots.   My shooting days also included frequent cleanings.... ( (obermeyer amu barrel, gap trued Remington 700 action. Lapua brass, federal match primers )

     

    i havent shot shot a PR match I a long time but I doubt the small change in group.size will change the outcome of a match.

     

    chasing that tiny group.... You risk falling down the rabbit hole of bench rest shooting

     

    given a custom barrel action and good smith I agree that it's most likely not the barrel.    

     

    I would look towards more towards consitincey load, bullet jump, components....

     

      Are you getting consistent chrono stats?

     

    do you use a scope level?  Once I started using one i was able to break .20 moa regularly.  

     

    When you say slightly larger.  How much larger?

    Does anyone have a suggested on building raw trigger speed?  I'm having a hard time getting below .18 splits even at 3 yards with my custom 2011. 

    I recently started getting lots of .14.  Which is a break through for me

    I recently added short reset to trigger.  Cz spo1

    what really helped was shooting (burning ) through some ammo 

    and NOT  using timer.....   

    It was able to remove tension 

    Also try  ignoring target.  Shoot  at blank paper.  And work on raw speed. 

    Cheek pad thickness?

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted · Edited by biglou13

    What thickness do you use? 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 inch ?

    i get a little cheek slap, but nothing offensive

    When cheek weld/ form is off I can tell 

    I've shot about 300 rounds so far out of stoeger m3k.

    is pad really necessary?

    What did you do today to further your 3-Gunning?

    in Rifle & Shotgun - Technique

    Posted

    I'm new recently added +8 to m3k

     

    Shot idpa match on sat.....   Any training is good training but...,,

     

    it was first time at that range.  It was very good training to see how different match director tests different and new skills , first time shooting swingers, flipper, twister, low port movement, odd # shots on target, 4 inch plate, many stages with backwards movement while shooing .  

     

    after match friend / member @ host range put some steel out finally was able to load 12+1, mag dump for function!!!

     

    simple shoot While moving drill with shot gun. ( much harder than carbine and pistol)

    electrolyte supplement

    in Physical Training

    Posted · Edited by biglou13

    Funny this came up today

     

    i left the range today dehydrated..

     

    i had had plenty of water with me. But only drank one small bottle during match

     

    the excitement and adrenaline easily masks thirst, hunger, fatigue, mental fatigue.

     

    once match ended, and the rush and adrenaline let off I felt surprisingly exhausted 

     

    if  you get to point where you are very thirsty.... It's most likely  to late, to make recovery by end of match.   you will be playing catch up, not to mention decreased mental acuity.

     

    sure I grab a g2 every now and again.

     

    what makes more sense is to drink water, dilute fruit juice and eat your electrolytes naturally, Also helps keep blood sugar  at even keel

     

    apple, orange, banana , celery,, carrots,  nuts and cheese, think REAL food,  

     

    Of the convenience products I like Lara bars.  ( which I will remember to bring next time)

     

    i've decided I'm setting phone to remind me to snack and hydrate  throughout match  day.   

     

     

    When to upgrade to a new gun?

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    i'm a cz fan ...... a huge one

     

    But.... i'm going to echo the above

     

    gun does not make the shooter

     

    i would stroke my match gun as much as possible to stay witih in production if that is what you want.   this should satisfy man's innate need to to weak and tinker.   also after this point there is no reason that glock will be holding you back.

     

    i have a stroked  CZ   i get beat by glocks all the time......     its not the gun its the guy behind it

     

    buy a dillon 550 or 650 powder, brass primers etc etc     and shoot more, lots more

     

    do more dry fire drills

     

    do more movement drills

     

    shoot more matches

     

    shoot with other "friends"

     

    get some training

     

    shoot your friends CZ's as much as possible

     

    why czc...... peer pressure?     what about cajun and automatic accuracy?

     

    give this a few months of solid training then revisit the question

     

     

    Fastest Bill Drill

    in Skills

    Been working on raw trigger speed.   

     

    My avg was .22 split

     

    recently got .20  relatively consistent 

     

    my personal best ( fastest split)  was .16 maybe a 2 or 3 times in last few thousand rounds

     

    found myself more than occasionally short stroking trigger, in quest for faster splits

     

    Added the last 2 parts to cz sp01 tactical  to complete pro package.   14m lifter and t2 disconnector  a'la Cajun....... Reach reduction and short reset

     

    today I hit .14 split a couple of times.  Out about 100 rounds today only few outside of A zone @ 5 yards

     

    so so my human limit as posted earier is improving !!!

     

    the mechanical/ shorter reset helped.....  But I also think just relaxing and working raw trigger speed without timer has helped.

     

      It is good to see some progress.   Now to get that .14 consistient or better  ( along with other goats)
