    Trigger Finger Placement

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    I think it comes down to how long your fingers are and what works best for you. I use more of the tip of my finger, I can feel the trigger better that way, but I don't have long fingers either.

    Yeah, I have long fingers and can not shoot a single-stack gun very well because my trigger finger touches the magazine release as the trigger breaks. I use the first joint...I can not use the pad with any form of consistency. I am not an expert though the joint just feels natural and the pad feels wrong. I am sure that I have to work on that.

    splits

    Your time between shots on the same target. Transitions are the time between shots it takes you to go from one target to another.
    Perfect! Thank you!
    “Splits” is the time between shots, “transitions” is the time between the last shot at one target and the first shot at the next target. 

    Shooting an El Presidente your timer might read (in seconds):

    1.01 Time from buzzer to first shot (your draw)

    .18 Time between 1st and 2nd shot (split)

    .32 Time from last on t1 to 1st on t2 (transition)

    .16 split

    .35 t2 to t3 (transition)

    .17 Split

    1.24 Time from last shot on t3 to first on t1 (reload, mandatory)

    .19 split

    .38 transition

    .18 split

    .35 transition

    .18split

    The El Prez is three targets, draw and shoot 2 shots each reload and repeat.

    Even perfect-er! Thank you, thank you! ;)

    Pact Mk Iv Championship Timer

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    Hi everyone.

    I am looking to pick up a nice chrony and it was suggested to me that I get the Pact MK IV Championship Timer with the chrony module. Is this the one for me or should I look for a dedicated chronograph sans the timer? Does this have everything I need or will I be disappointed?

    Thanks. :)

    This is an oak desk from an old school that got torn down. It's quite sturdy and it has plenty of drawers to keep all my powder and components. :)

    Seems kinda backwoods compared to some of you guys. :)

    Class Definition?

    1) Generate interest in IPSC shooting among your congregation.

    2) Drag them along (screaming if necessary) to your nearest range.

    3) Have a monthly or bi-monthly "fun shoot" with proceeds going to the church.

    At our last church picnic last year everyone that had guns brought them. :lol:

    We made too much noise and one of the church members unofficially banned guns at the church functions. She's not in charge of anything so I think we'll bring them next time anyway. ;)

    You mean you aren't going to go shoot matches???

    :lol:

    I believe in the beginning of Matt's book it told me to decide what I was willing to give up to be the best...I did that.

    Church was not on the list. ;)

    As long as a match is not on Wednesday night or Sunday then I'm in. Hey, I'll even go as far as to say I'd bolt after 12 noon from Sunday church to hit the range as long as I can be back by 6:15pm to prepare for the night service.

    Nah, I got a job to do at church and I actually am the only one that can do it. I wouldn't want to miss church even if I didn't have to run the sound system.

    :)

    I guess I'll have to pass on the competition thing. I'd still like to hang around here though.

    Bah! SIG_Lady should leave the name alone...it made me feel comfortable to reply to her post. I shoulda signed up as SIG_Dood ;) but I am mark123 on all the other boards, so...

    I'm still looking for the "perfect" 1911...seems they don't make on of them either though. ;)

    Anyone Ever Have Lasik Surgery?

    in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum

    I too went to canada to have it done because they had the latest technology available.

    feel free to email me if you have anymore questions. tmoore31@yahoo.com

    I wonder if Canada has the latest technology because they do not go through all the "red tape" from the FDA or whomever handles such things.

    I may email you about some questions if you don't mind...and I appreciate it very much!

    I appreciate everyones replies :) :)

    Thanks!

    Thanks guys! The friend I was talking about went to a doctor in Canada. For some reason it was highly recommended that he go there for the procedure. I am going to have to ask him why. He paid $450 per eye and has had zero complications (not even the halo effect that some have told me about...looking at lights at night you can see a halo around the light).

    I really want to have the procedure but I do not want to risk my eye sight. I just really hate not being able to see when I wake up at night...I really hate when I put my glasses in a different place and I can't see them. :lol:

    mark, if we can swing it, we'll try to hook up and get you to a match or two in the area...a whole lot easier to explain it while you are seeing it.

    Thanks V! :) I look forward to it. I just went back to work (I'm a landscaper and get the cold months off) so I may be booked up for a whole lot of Saturdays but after July 4th I can request a personal day. We'll work something out. :D

    Hey I have an idea!

    Since the courses are "graded on a curve" against the worlds best shooters I need to keep bothering the worlds best shooters with my newbie questions so they have less time to practice...it would make it easier on us all. ;)

    :lol:

    OK, that was dumb. :P

    Slide Won't "slingshot" Closed

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted

    I habitually depress the slide release lever to close

    it on a loaded mag, but it was just pointed out to me

    that it is designed to do so via slingshotting it.

    If it is not designed to press the slide release to close the slide they why do they put that little tab for your thumb to press on it then? :unsure:
