    Cross dominant shooter

    in Training Techniques

    Posted

    Weird how often this comes up.

    I have been left handed and right eye dominate all my life, never gave it any thought, I just shoot.

    Made it to GM in 1998 and again never gave it any thought.

    Point is...if you just press on and not concern yourself with this (non) issue you too can shoot well enough to make GM.

    It does not take any special effort to place pistol sights in front of the master eye.

    Anyone polish their stainless revo?

    My brother had cars that didn't run so well, but damn they looked nice.

    That same brother would "borrow" my cars because they....ran all the time.

    He washed and waxed his.

    I kept mine in good tune and drove them.

    That said. Polishing is a LOT of work...I worked as a gunk brush in a Harley shop as a kid and spent too much time

    buffing side covers!

    A nice AC grit glass bead blast gives a pleasant sheen.

    furthest pistol shot you've attempted and made

    Not the longest shot (I was considered pretty good in IHMSA) but a recent one on video.

    So I,m guessing you may have shot some chickens at 200? Hit a few of them back in the day, in shoot offs. Man thsoe were some good times.

    Yes sir. Loved that game. International (Master) in every category except revolver. Set 2 national records and won the region

    7 champs in big bore and field pistol.

    Should amateurs have to shoot against "pros"?

    If you are shooting to win prizes instead of to improve your skills, you are doing it wrong.

    the reason pro's don't compete against amateurs in many forms of motor racing is safety. Where safety is not an issue (national enduro or national hare and hound), I get to compete against pros, and I like that.

    I can't imagine why anyone would want to artificially restrict their competition. Might as well just give everyone a self-esteem medal.

    YES!!! Well put Laddie!

    I bet I will be told it is not relevant but IPSC used too restrict tubes too only HOLD 8 rounds and they used certified dummy rounds at the start of the

    event to check your guns.

    However that is no longer the case. From the current ISPC rules.

    APPENDIX D: Standard (auto) Standard Manual (pump)

    1. Minimum Power Factor 480

    2. Minimum caliber 20 gauge/bore

    3. Cartridge loops, clips or side-saddles fitted to the gun Yes

    12. Capacity restrictions for initial load prior to the start signal. Max. of 9 rounds loaded

    I have gotten lost in this thread...what was the point again?

    To prevent cheating?

    To make us more practical / tactical?

    To make dumping the gun safer?

    Cheating happens in many forms and few notice or say anything. (major when minor) (that's a double!)

    Practical Tactical... it is a game, play it.

    Safer...stupid happens and should be dealt with as we are supposed to do now...DQ.

    Follow the rules (99% of us do) and have a great time!

    Pat,

    The point was that we now have a rule that is not easily enforced and as such allows people to disregard it. What is the point of a rule that is not enforced. You bring up the Major minor point, this is exactly the same. If there is no crono to enforce the rule then the rule has no meaning and people will shoot minor and call it major. At every match that has a crono stage there are still people that fail to meet major, and that is when they KNOW they will be checked. Imagine how many people shoot minor and claim major at matches that don't crono. If I shot pistol matches I would be bringing that up, fortunately I don't have the time or inclination to shoot pistol matches. I do shot 3 gun matches and feel if we have a rule it should be enforced, if it is not easy to enforce it should be dropped or modified so that it is enforceable. There are many ways this could be addressed, I am not advocating one way over another, or even the possible options I have suggested, I just want to see it addressed. In my mind it is not about being practical, but that could be argued, or being safer, which could also be argued, it is about having a rule that is not enforced, and that is unfair to those of us who do comply with it when there is no penalty for those who choose to not comply.

    bret,

    I understand you are somehow equating your shotgun tube to your penis. I think pretty much every reader has gotten that point. I am also happy that you are comfortable with your own tube length. I would like to suggest that you try other tube lengths as well, sometimes limiting yourself to a single tube may be depriving yourself of an experience that could be pleasant. Why don't you ask a couple of your shooting buddies to let you give their tubes a try. You may find that you prefer someone else's tube more than you enjoy your own. You may even find you enjoy many other tubes, possibly at the same time. We wont judge.

    Thank you. I get it....now.
