Accurate is better but did you shoot any D's or worse M"s last match?
It ain't the gun

Nice shooting - those are some very fast splits in the second video... (which is impressive to me only due to the fact that they were combined with really fast transitions too)
However... in the first video, it sounds like the gun doubled. And in the second video, I'm thinking that the timer must have picked up an echo... (I've seen doubles recorded at .08 on a timer before, and they sound distinctly different than fast splits.)
My gun is not "Doubleing" in either of those video's. If the gun was going off when I didn't intend it to I would immediately stop shooting the stage and fix my gun. I don't know why anyone would think it would be acceptable to keep shooting a pistol that fired when you didn't intend it to.
I do this too once in a while, I call it bump firing. You are relaxed so trigger finger acts like one of those devices on a AR trigger. I usually do it on a fairly hard stop to a close target.
I don't consider it a malfunction because I have control of the gun, I am aiming and usually the hits are snake eyes because of my stance/index and grip
Now I have to ask. You cannot replicate it on demand and you consider it a skill?

Had ammo pulled out and looked at a couple times after 9-11. now as long as its under 50 lbs I dont think it matters. Took 600 rds of 38 Super to Vegas

Sub .10? I call BS

You will never hear me say this especially the day after whooping up on them but The First Movie WAS GREAT
WOLVERINES!!!!!!
Kind of a display of the basics of why we will never be occupied by an outside enemy. Inside still worries me a bit

Oh I would Never use a real sharp metal knife.
It was a hard plastic knife I think for training or sneaking on airplanes and in concerts?
-
So you made a couple babies too?
That is a productive day
-
In the old "wild" days I set up a stage that started with you having to stab a target with getting one procedural if knife didnt remain in target. It was fun but probably not good since its a little too much bubble gum to be consistant and fair. Hey it was cool n fun though

Well not a beginner but probably like 8 K and my normal pace to win is a 2 before that 8.
My first year I kept track and it was 57K but in that day nobody helped you, there were no DVD, books, classes, internet, etc
With a basic book I could have probably cut that round count in half and get the same results.

They really interfere with my point shooting.
As you said they are feedback devices but I think also they are current information devices. Feedback for me is in the past but there is some current information there too. I relate that to a shot setup approaching positions and seeing what I need to see to make the shot.
I know somebody is gonna say that's all feedback but I'm trying to separate two parts of technique. Eventually they all come together though.

NOBODY shoots 38 Super anymore! So old school!
Just all the guys whooping up on you every weekend haha

No biggie. Kyle shoots in that outfit every month
it's not Kyle.
Sounds like its raining men

Thanks I didn't think of the salt shaker issue. Maybe I'll just try and get a 140 or two for the stages I need them on. Hopefully something will work out from the parts I have. Still need a magwell so I can experiment with what works. Followers may be the deciding factor since reliability is paramount.
Use them as Starting mags then reload 140mm, on lower rd count stages like speed shoots, classifier and use them in practice saving your good ones for matches. They are far from useless and a " highest cap mag" is only an advantage a few times a month maybe

Shooting can be nasty when you think about the junk we inhale. Even if it's not lead- it's smoke from lube, green bullets, black bullets, etc. If it's not fresh air it's good to keep it out of your lungs when you can.
For me, since I've had very high lead levels (due primarily to indoor shooting) I avoid as much "smoke" as I can. People can say that lead in bullets isn't a problem because the lead doesn't vaporize or atomize or whatever. I say BS to that. I try to keep lead away from me to the extent possible. I use plated bullets so I'm pretty sure I don't have any exposure when reloading and mostly from only primers when shooting outdoors.
So do those people think the lead from primers vaporized into a hot gas are way safer than lead in a bullet?
The key is no indoor shooting and equally obsessive hygiene while shooting and reloading. I cant count the amount of people I see picking up brass and shucking peanuts on the same stage, eating chips from a bag is another favorite to watch.. Gives me the creeps. They probably take the brass home and clean it while smoking and reload while drinking all done without a hand cleaning

Nothing against Manny but I guess the future was in the 90s. This looks a lot more better than the DQ special guys were using then

The official verbal briefing, right before the stage is the only one that counts though
Written stage briefing that's on the stage is the one that matters.
I can't read

A guy that only taped once? Must be an issue. You should offer to carry his range bag.
Note to self
I am done taping So who is carrying my range bag?

Shooter causing problem and no REF is flawed logic. Seems easy to me and I have never seen it be an issue
On a match we had a door that activated swingers. I opened it like a man not like the little girls on my squad, you know who you are, and made the cable slip outta the clamp. I caused that also but it too is a reshoot. REF
Now if you break props on purpose I will DQ you.
I can separate the two acts

Who are you again?

I just prefer to speak softly

Tough love here I never give advice with a filter. Very dangerous since clarity and honesty are blocked when you do. Your personal goals determine what you want and need to hear but since you posted I think you wanna improve
You are doing a common error of shooting with expectations. You post seems to have that theme all through it. If you are cussing at early development of shooting skills I think this kinda points to that.
I would also dry fire a lot. It only costs time and will fix those draws, reloads and help you see the sights properly. Your saying that you see the sights but you are not. Sorry to be so blunt but unless your gun is broke you are not seeing the sights and you will struggle especially later because you won't be calling your shots. That is the biggest secret to shooting hyper fast.
Don't be so rigid in stage breakdown and visualization. Maybe try seeing 'pictures" of target arrays instead of the entire run.
Relax and just shoot.
Quit trying and start doing.
So people who win national championships in this sport never arrive at the match expecting to win?
Humm When I shoot well it usually starts with my attitude and I come to the match expecting to win and realistically have already won the match in my mind. That is not what I was saying.
Expectations are attitudes that keep you from excelling and winning. Quite a few shooters are more concerned about other shooters perception and their perception of what they want others to see them as. That will hold you back. Expectations cause you to shoot before the sight is there. "I am an A class fast shooter and I always shoot faster than everybody else" might be what's rolling around in their head. Or I have to push it or I won't win the club match like I did last month. There are many variations.It is there in the thread starters post.
