Yeah, I can’t say that I’m sorry I moved. New Mexico has been pretty great so far! please keep in touch! I’m certain I can get back there and help you out!

Aww man, I wish I would have seen this message or you could have contacted me sooner! I’d love to work with you! my website is fully live now at timherronshooting.com and I’m teaching/coaching almost full time now! I’ve got contact info there as well, so don’t hesitate to reach me. I plan on being in the Midwest for classes next season. Perhaps we can work together

I've got 2 Atlas Titan Single Stacks here and they're phenomenal guns! You wont be disappointed in Atlas!

Your first mistake was putting it in your mind that somehow the classifier stage was more important or somehow different than any other stage. Heres the best clue and advice I can possibly give you: They're not. Focus on nothing but the process and stop investing in the outcome

IMO, chasing the time splits isn't where the juice is found. Shooting simply based on what a good called sight pic and shot called is with NO MORE time spent than whats needed before or beyond that.

Commit to YOUR stage strategy. Don't change last minute, even if you think someone else's plan is better. Once it's programmed/visualized, stick to it. A mediocre stage plan that's executed well ALWAYS trumps the best stage plan that's poorly executed

Sounds like you're disregarding sight picture in an effort to make speed the priority. At 25 yds and further, sight pic/ and proper trigger control rules over simply splits. IMO

Yep! that's precisely what I mean. Whew, I was hoping that would make sense LOL

It's a visual acuity issue. Learning to switch gears with your vision and accepting a different overall sight picture. At longer distances, we make the mistake of trying to acutely align/center the front sight with center of the target, but really loose point of reference of where "center" of the target is. This is where pulling back our vision slightly to accept a broader sight alignment by including the overall rear sight as a means of "cutting" the target in half. Also aligning the rear blade with the entire target now allows you to then focus centering the front sight into rear notch and firing the shot. Does any of this make some sense, or does it sound like aimless ramble? LOL

I couldnt agree with you more, Jake

Where are you located? if you're relatively close, perhaps I can help. Depending where you are, I may be able to recommend someone as well!

what exactly are you wanting to improve with regards to transitions? How are you quantifying improvement?

Youre gonna love it for sure! Both of my Atlas Titan singlestacks are phenomenal!! I wouldnt shoot anything else

Remember to constantly look at your data with regards to transition times and split times. It's not just about breezing the gun through an array of targets as fast as possible. Its reducing the "non shooting" time so that you don't end up rushing the "shooting" time. It's an exercise in leading the gun with your EYES first and the hands will follow. Muscling the gun might seem fast, but the hits will suffer. Transitions can be worked thoroughly in dryfire, so don't get too hung up on just working them in livefire.
