Search Robert Vogel Grip on YouTube then duplicate it while gripping as had as possible. Then buy a set of COC grippers and get stronger.
You must not have read my post.....

Enjoy the dot! It gives you so much more information than iron sights.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat is true, just in the two matches that I've shot, I noticed several things that I haven't noticed shooting iron sights.

1st off, I am not a new shooter, 3 M class division shooter Lim/SS/Prod but just getting into open. I've shot 2 matches and have practiced zero times with it other than sighting it in.
When gripping an open gun how hard are you supposed to grip? I have heard it both ways, light and loose (say 50% of normal grip for limited/production) or grip as hard as you normally would?
I have also heard that the dot shouldn't move out of the sight (cmore) but mine seems to move out, maybe not a lot but it definitely moves around.
What's the correct technique for Open?
Thanks!

It usually takes 2-3 months to get them, I bought in August and haven't received mine either.

And the nitride versions are no longer being imported and were discontinued.

any suggestions on magazines and holster recommendation for this 2.0 5 inch 9mm would be greatly appreciated. Pretty new to this division. Thanks in advance.
Blade-tech holster with Ben Stoeger Boss Hanger. Mag pouches are a toss up depending if you like to run them bullets forward or bullets out. I prefer the Ghost Pouches and use them bullets out, but you can mount them in the traditional way as well. CR Speed would be another mag pouch option but you can only use those bullets forward.

Roll the dice and see what you come up with. That's how many different configurations you may get when buying different tanfos.

Awesome, hope to make this match in the next few years.

Hello,
We are just about a month away from the 2017 Oklahoma Sectional Match at The United States Shooting Academy in Tulsa, OK on October 20th - 22nd.
Remember this is a 1-day match, in that you will shoot all 10 stages in 1-day, unless we have bad weather and are unable to complete it in that format. Sunday is the make-up day if needed.
The total round count is 253 plus 8 for chronograph for a total of 261 rounds if you don't miss. Stages are approved and will be released in the next week or two. Shooting will start at 0800 every morning on your assigned stages. Squad matrix will be out along with the stages and brief match book when completed.
We are having a random prize table with some awesome prizes available from our great sponsors: Title Sponsor: CZUSA Stage sponsors: 405 Photo, Rudy Project, Double Alpha - Alpha Dynamics, Shooters Connection, Make Ready Pro Shop, Odin Works, Quarter Circle 10, Shooting-Performance, Sig Sauer, Tougher-n-Nails Targets and Bullets, Comp-Tac, JP Precision and Walther Arms. ***Not everyone will receive a prize from our sponsors, it is random draw based on a random number calculator and your shooter number until all prizes are awarded***
Match T-Shirts: We will be giving each competitor a match T-Shirt, based on sizes available, at time of check-in. This was decided just a few days ago so we will have shirts available in L, XL and 2XL and will have some extra available for purchase at the match.

If anyone still needs to book a hotel room, one of our R.O.'s is trying to arrange group rates with one in downtown Tulsa. If so, you can contact Bryan Hoover at bhoover01@yahoo.com as soon as possible so he can get a discounted rate for your all.

The Area 4 match is in the books. The USSA range is an awesome facility and the stages were great. All of the stages were well thought out and good tests of practical shooting skills. I like it when majors have stages that focus on testing practical shooting skills instead of creating circus stages with a bunch of stupid props. The weather was pretty decent as well. It was a little hot and humid but not horrible. I shot the AM/PM schedule on the weekend and had a great squad of hard workers. We all had fun and worked hard to churn through the stages fast on both days.
Starting in the AM on Saturday was interesting as the cool humid air made my ammo shoot a lot more smoky than it normally is. There were a few targets that were in the shadows as well and when that was mixed with the smoky situation made it pretty difficult to see the targets. I shot a little slower than normal on these targets and was able to get my hits, so I can’t complain too much. On Saturday I shot pretty solid overall. I only had 1 D zone hit through the 6 stages we shot and only had one issue during the standards stage where I totally botched the reload. Other than that I was feeling really good about my performance. I wish we could have kept shooing as we got done with our 6 stages by about 10:30AM. But the schedule is the schedule.
On Sunday we shot the PM schedule and this days performance was the polar opposite of the day before. I racked up 3 D’s and 3 misses on the final 6 stages. I also felt really sluggish while shooting in the afternoon heat. Two of my misses were on the fast over the top swinger on Stage 1. When shooting the stage I called both shots good. But when I looked at the video frame by frame both of my shots were trailing the moving target. This was one of those rare instances where the swinger was moving fast enough that you had to lead the swinger to get hits and I was aiming at the center. By the time my bullet got to the target it had already moved out of the way. This issue was also exasperated by the sluggish movement. During the stage run I felt like I was shooting and transitioning aggressively, but watching the video shows otherwise. If my reaction time was even slightly off in engaging this swinger then that would also promote shooting behind it.
To top off the Sunday train wreck my Manny Mini dot front sight broke in half again right at the start of Stage 12 which was an all steel stage. Normally this isn’t too much of a problem because the front half flies off and I am left with the back half of the post to use to aim with. But this time the fiber rod kept the loose broken off front half of the sight attached to the rear half. So I had to shoot the whole stage with a loose front sight post flopping around randomly every shot. Since using the sights to aim was impossible I had to use the FORCE to will my hits onto the steel, which is never a good situation. I finally got all of the steel down but it took an extra 3 – 4 seconds to get it done. This happened with two more stages to go so I switched to my backup gun and finished the match with it.
This is the 8th Brazos Manny Mini Dot front sight that I have broken in the exact same way an all three of my Limited guns. Needless to say, this exact same sight failure is getting old. I will need to come up with an alternative front sight situation as this Manny Mini Dot is obviously not up to the task. The bummer is that I don’t have training time to switch to a completely different sight setup between now and the end of the major match season. I will have to keep feeding these sights to my Limited blasters until I am done with the majors in 2017. Hopefully they will last through the remainder of my major match season.
This was a strange match for me from a performance perspective. If I would have been able to maintain my performance level on Saturday I would have been able to finish a lot higher in the overall. But you can’t shoot good on one day and crappy on the next and expect to finish well overall. The interesting thing I noticed is that I seem to always shoot worse on PM schedules verses AM ones. This is an ongoing trend that has continually kicked my butt. If I am shooting all day, I can usually pull together a solid performance. But if I start the day in the PM then I tend to perform a lot worse. I know a big factor of it is that I rarely “Start” my practice sessions after lunch time and none of our outdoor local matches start late either. The next time I face a PM shooting schedule I think I am going to try and sleep in later and try to replicate my normal “Morning” routine. We will see if that makes any different. One thing for sure is that I don’t have time to “Fix” this issue before shooting the next few major matches. I have to embrace the suck and just deal with it.
My buddy nick was able to get all of my stage runs on video which was awesome. I have uploaded it to my YouTube channel and the video is listed below. I put the stages in numerical order in the video, but I shot the stages starting with number 3 on Saturday and finishing on number 2 on Sunday.
When all of the scores were tallied, I ended up 7th overall in Limited at 90% of the winner Shane Coley. This isn’t where I wanted to finish overall, but it is what it is when you shoot like crap for half of the match. Its water under the bridge now and I can check the USSA range off my list of places I have shot at.
Now I need to get my shooting gear fixed and cleaned up for the Colorado State match this coming weekend. I am shooting it all on Friday then ROing on the weekend. Hopefully I can produce a better result this time verses the Area 4 match. We will see how it goes.
Glad you enjoyed the match Charlie, sorry I didn't get to meet you but I was pretty busy with the match. I was the Assistant Match Director (Chad Stanton) along with Mike, I designed all the stages etc so it's good to get some feedback on how people either liked or disliked them.
Just FYI the Oklahoma Sectional is in October at USSA and I am the MD for the that match if you are interested in shooting it all day on Friday October 20th.

The match is just about a month away and we still have 2 open spots (on the same squad) available on Saturday and 6 spots available for Friday.
Grip, how to?

Ah okay, what you desribed is what I am seeing with the dot.
I have just been shooting Atlanta Arms 125gr major pf loaded ammo so it may not be hot enough?
I'll have to get some loading data from a friend, who shoots a 38s gun of the same design. I am shooting 38sc but haven't gotten my 38sc reloading stuff ordered yet.
