[Stopping muzzle flip/bounce]

Yeah, grip problem. Get with a GM like Cha-Lee and take a lesson. They will fix it.  Plus save a lot of time. 

[Quicker transitions]

Can you do a sub 2 second bill drill? A lot easier doing .25 transitions when you can rip sub .18 splits.  The Enos drill is a great way

to cut time on transitions, but if you can not shoot fast....... 

[LOW LEFT]

Lock out that wrist on the weak hand. Stronger grip with the weak hand. 

 

[9mm Single Stack]

Buy once, cry once. My 1911 9mm gets shot more than my 45s.  Springfield is a great choice. Still a fan of Tripp mags. 

[Just getting started in local competition...]

Tips:

 

[Dropping mag]

I have deliberately ran my mags to 1 or 2 rounds, but it was the type of stage that had  10 close paper.  Maybe a 5 step run, and 3 more paper.

The shots were easy, the reload made sense.  

Most of the time, better safe then sorry. 

[Where are your eyes before the buzzer goes off?]

Good stuff, I will try the relaxed approach. Currently looking at the A zone perfs. 

[Double Texas Star]

I shoot them just like they are a single. So 12 on each, move to 3, and let them come. Clean up what is left. Works pretty well. 

[Trigger control with a light trigger]

A shorter lighter trigger offers me a lot less opportunity to pull the shot off target.  As long as the grip is solid and the sites are on.............

[STI Edge Factory or Tuned??]

Couple of my friends have bought the Dawson Precision Competition Ready Edge.  They seem real happy with it.  

When they decide to go custom, they will have a great backup. 

[Tips on dealing with "sun over berm"]

It is a bad situation.  Dark glasses, pull the hat down real low in front.  I have thought of changing target order to help,

but once the clock hits, that plan goes out the window.  Vhit is definitely less smokey. 

[MGM spinner for USPSA stage?]

Fun but not legal in Uspsa. Funny watching sub minor load shooters attempt. 

[How Light is "Light"?]

Just under 2lbs.

[.40 SVI 5.4 Shuman Barrel - load data]

3.7 grains of Titegroup. 200gr  polymer coated bullets. 1.175 OAl   172pf at 2017 Nats. 

5.4 Schuemann barrel. AET.  Range Brass, Win SPP. 

[Shooting classifiers]

Just another stage. Be solid. Call your shots.

 

 

 

[Do you get a sight picture on the second shot of close targets?]

Interesting question. To me, it is just as fast to see a quick sight picture as not. The splits are the same.

On the other hand, that quick picture makes it a lot easier to shoot alphas. Taking it a little farther, that habit makes

close partials and no shoots a lot easier. A quick sight picture. I am not saying waste time. Just strong fundamentals.

 

[2011 LEFT HANDED shooter mag release help]

Just use the trigger finger. It gets smooth. Plus helps you keep your finger off the trigger during a reload.

[The Race to M Class!]

Please add me:

A81018  84.44 Limited.

[Transition Drill Part 1]

Low 4s, still working on getting better hits.

[What .40 P.F. do you recommend to be "safe" when chronographed]

170-172 is very safe

[New to USPSA and the mikes are pilling up.]

Take classes from a qualified instructor. Buy Ben's book and use it. Make a dry fire, live fire schedule, stick to it.

Shoot matches based on your skill level, not of those on your squad. Practice a lot........

[Electronic Ear Muff Recommendations]

Have MSA sordins with gel cups as back up. Went custom in the canal electronic ears from Soundgear. Expensive but worth it. Better noise cancellation, better hearing. Can wear them all day. Absolutely the best I have found.

[Salomon SpeedCross 3!]

I use both the Speedcross 3 and the Fellraiser. Fellraiser seems to be a little wider. Cleats last a little longer. Both great shoes.

[What's the hot setup for 2011 mags these days?]

Sti tubes, grams springs and followers, TTI base pads. 20 reloadable all day. Zero reliability issues.

[STI edge springs]

I use a 12 in my 5 inch edge. In the 5.4 running a 11.
