Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. May want to add the belt size you need to the post.

  2. But it would be a lot closer. And shooting around barricades wouldn't be blocked.
  3. Yeah, if I had really bad eyes. I only need a reading glasses prescription for my right eye to see those bumps on top of the gun. Still may be cheaper. Though, if I work it right, insurance will cover a frame and lenses.
  4. See it now. They are a little salty. Yeah, I would think the camera could be on top of the frame so it would make it thicker. It would look weird, but it would be so cool.
  5. Looking at the Pivothead camera, it doesn't appear to come with a way to add prescription lenses. I think that would be a nice feature. Something else that would be kinda cool, and really interest me, is if they could mount the camera portion above the right eye (or left) so you could actually see what you are seeing when shooting. I know that's a little knit picky, but it would be way cool.
  6. Matt, just did what you suggested and read the write up. You addressed all my questions. Thanks.
  7. Matt, How do your hits compare between on the move and static? Shooting on the move is a skill all by itself that will need quite a bit of practice. At times distance will dictate whether to shoot on the move or not as well. Thanks for the video. Pat
  8. If you ask the general population what the largest lobbying body in America is, they would answer the NRA. They just happen to be the target of those who disagree with what they stand for. While the largest lobbying group is the AARP. Tom Gresham tried to interview the Wounded Warrior Project for his show GunTalk Radio, they declined because they don't want to be affiliated with any organization that has anything to do with guns. Honored American Veterans Association (HAVA) on the other hand, takes disabled Vets out to shoot and hunt. Our club ran an event for the WWP before we knew their stance. Funny thing, they didn't refuse our money then. Of course, this was in the early stages of the WWP. I agree with Sarge about the companies who we spend money with. Insurance companies, products (Levi's jeans), etc...
  9. Hey Steve,Been a looonng time. You'll need to get up to Hollidaysburg and shoot one of Dan's matches next year. I remember when I first got started and we all worked Area 8 together, you, Dan, Kyle, Harry and me. Hope you are progressing the way you like. Here is a link to an App Matt Burkett put on his website to help with dryfire. http://www.predatortactical.com/cart.php?m=knowledgebase_detail&id=5 Pat That link doesn't show an app for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It should take you to the Predator Tactical website, where there are 4 drills for dry fire. You'll have to use your computer, not a smartphone. They aren't downloadable. Dot Transition Drill Draw at the Beep (with par time) Variable Speed Swinger Target Tracking Drill You can also hook your computer up to the a TV and make the targets bigger so you can increase the distance.
  10. Heavy556, You mean track the front sight in recoil, not transitions, correct? Don't want to confuse anyone.
  11. How do you mount it? On a hat or muffs? I like the idea of a camera mounted on me, but I think it's hard to see how you are moving through the stage if you don't have video from behind your stage run.

    SSR ammo

    In the past I have done not for score reshoots carrying 4 black powder revolvers. Quite a lot of fun. I didn't have to worry about the SO crowding me because they couldn't breath. Could you see the targets? That would be an interesting rig to see you wear. Got any pictures? or even better video? Of course, not sure what we would be able to see either. Sorry, no pics or vids. I used to shoot cowboy action. I had a left and right holster on each side plus left and right slanted cross draw holsters, all on one belt. I had a pair of Vaqueros shooting black powder cartridges plus a Remington and a Colt cap and ball revolver. Load and make ready took a while. I would shoot one revolver empty, holster it and keep shooting and switching until done. Loads of fun. Getting back to power factor, the Vaqueros made power factor but the cap and ball probably didn't. I wonder how they were effective back in the day when they didn't make power factor. LOL Sounds like a lot of fun.

  14. David, IPSC/USPSA are all about DVC, which stands for Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas (Accuracy, Power, Speed). It's a balance of all 3. Accuracy is critical in an minor division(less power), Speed is needed in any division, without sacrificing accuracy. It becomes a complicated math problem at times, trying to determine if speed will be better based on available points or accuracy. The best advice, get accurate shots as quickly as possible. The biggest time savers are transitions between targets and getting to the next shooting position. You'll do that much more than draws and reloads. What I noticed, you were very consistent in your results. (didn't look at the actual scores, just your finishing spots). Consistency is key to a good finish. You could shoot all of the stages and finish 3rd, but win your division. Points are divided by time to get your hit factor. See the thread linked below for more on that.http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54312 Hope that helps, Pat
  15. Been working mindfulness meditation into my schedule as best as I can. What I'm finding is, it's hard to stay focused on the moment, but it is teaching me to be present in the moment and not let the past or the future (which we have no control over) interfere with being now. I really feel out of sorts when I miss my time to practice. I believe shooting has the same affect for me as well, it's where I can focus on only what is now, make the plan and go. I can tell I've been missing that a lot this year and it's had it's affects. There is no perfection, there is only practice.
