Signed, AND donated 5 Bucks!

(BTW, if not for the porta-squat at Rayner's, my "raw deal" would have been even uglier!)

Ours may be different than the real one, it's 2 to a rectangle body, and one to a circle head, at 8 or 10 yards.
Flex,
I didn't forget...Why do you think I'm trying for sub 1.2?
I really like the fact that two non-1911 guys are neck and neck...Beretta vs. Glock.

Shot a 1.36 double trouble Saturday, my best ever.
If I'm gonna stay ahead of Flexmoney (1.46) and improve, I'm gonna need to get into the 1.2's.
My current plan is to set a par of 1.15 and try to beat it in dry fire 25 times in a row each night, and then stay as relaxed as possible in the match.
This is how I got to the 1.36, setting the par at 1.3 and beating it consistently, so I think this will work.
BTW, the first shot was .9, so that's where the improvement needs to come from.
FOR FLEXMONEY ONLY:
Actually, I plan to suspend all practice activities indefinitely, as this pursuit of excellence is really tiring. Please feel free to do the same.

Congrats on your placement, Chris.
What were you shooting?

FWIW, I believe Ernest switched to a Vertec 92 from his regular Elite 2, but I'm not sure

I felt much more vulnerable in the truck stop parking lot right after 3 cups of coffee and three trips thru the breakfast buffet... (stupid, stupid, stupid)
Not the feeling you want right before a match.

My favorite LM quote is from "how to shoot fast and accurate" on holsters:
"the two most important things about a holster are that it works and (pause) that you LIKE it"
simplicity itself.

Does that mean that calling shots can hapen subconsciously?
I'm guessing that it can and does...
My thing is that I'm just trying to read the sights and control the trigger on every target, and more so as distance increases.
Just like old shooter, I am aware of misses before I hear them, but maybe not aware or TRUSTING of hits if I don't hear them.
Maybe I'm afraid to trust my perception of the shot.
(I'm guessing that's it!)
Then again, who has time in a 2.5 - 3 second run to think about anything?
SA

Maybe you're calling your misses like I am.
Does that mean we're calling our hits, too?
I'm starting to think so.

I still believe it's a philosophy thing.
A production shooter has to get more A's and less penalties. Sevigny and Langdon both got hurt pretty bad by penalties on a stage or two.
I know the same can be true for lim 10, but just knowing I get less for Cs and Bs and still get 10 for penalties slows me down a little.
A guy who gets ALL A's and no penalties can run a little slower than a sprayer who gets careless. I believe production makes thius a little more true.
I'm not sure about the triggers being a major factor. The top two double troubles at our last steel match were a Beretta and a Glock. (Flex has FOUND his front sight!)
(And, some idiot with a Beretta and a docter sight managed to beat a REAL 1911 racegun at the same match to win open... )

I personally don't lock the elbows, that's the old isoceles, we do the modern iso.
Leave 'em bent/flexed a little, roughly 45 degrees down.
Put both hands on a wall, right in front of your face and push back. See what your elbows do?
The amount of elbow flex will vary with the speed of the shooting.

Could it be that the whole lim 10 squad shoots more aggressively, and the whole production squad shoots a little more conservatively?
Theoretically, penalties hurt more in production.

I was gonna be the rebel and shoot one eyed weaver, then I decided I'd rather win.
I switched from one eye weaver to both eyes iso at the same time.
It was murder watching temporary performance suffer, but the results are well worth it.
Would rather absorb recoil with one arm or two?

(Brian Enos impersonation mode on)
If the sights were'nt to your liking, why did you take the shot?
(BEIM off)
If you see what you need to see for the shot required, and call the shot, you can't miss. That means no make -up shots.
Must be nice huh?
Myself, I still look and listen for hits on hard targets, and call shots on easy targets....But I'm working on it.
I can call my misses, which might mean I'm calling my shots.
Still working,

We have to be more accurate and get more A's.
In production we need those A's real bad...If I throw a D shooting reckless, it really hurts. (remember Raw deal?)
SA
-
I have thought about that, as production has the same position rule.
However, I have never missed a mag in a match, so I will not do any further worrying, and just le it be.
it just seems to happen, and that's enough for me.

Most of the matrix soundtrack is good. I used to play it while working the punching bag. (had to stop that due to wrist, knuckle, finger pain. Probly a techinque issue, but the bag makes a great barricade for dry fire)
SA
-
my only reload tip is to get a pause at the mag well. Get the mag FAST, bring it up FAST, but pause for a micro-millisecond at the well before insertion. When I focus on the pause, I never miss one. When I focus on speed, I fumble one now and then.

Were you cited for "failure to do right?"

While we're at it, who carries a spare gun vs. parts to fix a broken gun?

I've always thought of loc tite as being for things that are really torqued hard. I didn't hink it would work as well for a screw in the midle of its threads. You're right though, can't hurt to try...
I'll let you know.

I've noticed that turning the electronic ears off during slow fire lowers the pitch of the blast and makes it less obtrusive. Plugs under dead muffs with my comped CZ champion bowling pin gun works best. (192 PF)

I've noticed the same thing, and it gets me into trouble past 10 yards. I need to work on switching gears.

The though of a chambered Glock going around the room gives me some serious heebie jeebies. That is one stupid person.

To me it seems so simple:
1st place in each div. goes to table, in order of overall placement between those three.
2nd place in each division goes to table in order of overall placement...
3rd...
So if Seevers wins open, flexmoney wins lim and I win production, but flex places higher than Bill overall, then he gets dibs. If I beat Bill overall, then I go second, etc.
Wouldn't that work?
