There was some good moving target animations for use in dry fire on Matt's website but couldn't find them when I went looking about 3 or 4 months ago.

I am limited to 10 round mags and this works for me.

practice, and looking at the magwell. Also, Ben Steoger suggested in a class that I grab a mag and throw it up in front of me and then position the gun around the mag (instead of the other way around). That helped me figure out a better angle to hold the gun and made my reloads way more consistent. This and this.

I read this a little while back, watched the video read up on it little, thought through it and decided to adopt it. The odd thing is that over a recent 3 day match, the first major since I adopted this, the only time even the thought of the usual jitters entered my mind was when someone else brought it up during the first stage on the first day. I just reinforced to myself embracing it and gave it no more thought. I didn't have any of the usual nerves or jitters I would normally get for the first 2 or 3 stages on any of the 3 days.

I don't like soaking mine because of the loctite. If I didn't use it I would soak mine for sure Thanks for replying. That makes sense. I dont have to loctite because its a czechmate and the guiderod "locks" the comp in place. Have you found a way to remove the carbon build up on the crown of the barrel on your czechmate?

Organise some training with a GM. Steve Anderson does training if you particularly interested in dry fire.

I wish Yoda had tried to improve that saying. Before you can pull a lot of things off, you first must have tried. In some cases, you still might never do. Trying and not getting there is better than never trying. I crossed a time/accuracy threshold on a certain drill a few weeks ago. Before I got there, I had to first try. My overall skill level is helped only a little by how I can do on this drill but at least I have experienced something I wouldn't have if I hadn't tried, and now I have more confidence that I'll be able to increase my skills in other ways -- through trying. On a classifier, I don't want to try shooting at a new personal best skill level. I want to be within my skill level but definitely not messing around and not taking it easy. If I've never gone out and tried hard to stretch my skill level, and am not willing to execute classifiers at or very near the edge of my current ability, I have no hope of raising the bar in my classifier scores. You TRY in practice, not in a Match. ^ Push beyond your current ability in practice, improving your level of ability. Shoot to your level of ability at a match.

I posted this on another thread recently: Brian's book has some great exercises on pages 170-171 to help with this

What did you end up doing to fix this?

Set a par time - the first beep is the start time and the second is the finish time. I use a dry fire timer app for my phone. It has the bonus of being able to program and save my par time for each of the drills.

Try Brian's transition drill in the tips for improvements section.

Never heard of him, is he any good? ?

I am curious as to how the extra wright of a big stick affects the handling and balance of the pistol. I am restricted to 10 round magazines.

I don't want to sound cliched but safety is everyone's responsibility. If it's not right speak up.

The first time I shot plate racks man on man was a great lesson in ignoring what was going on around me and focusing on my own match.

I broke mine recently and knocked this up while I am waiting for a replacement to arrive. I used a piece of dowel slightly larger than the dovetail, a coping saw and a wood file. I made the tolerances tight so it's just a hand press fit. I struggle to load a round without the racker

I broke 2 slide stops before the barrel broke. I received my new barrel under warranty yesterday and it is the newer style with a bit more metal in the area the old ones have been breaking. For anyone that has gotten a replacement barrel do they need fitting by a gunsmith or do they drop in?

Broke mine today, definitely need another

Grab some spares now and keep them in your range bag so that you have them ready when needed.

You can get phone apps to calculate hit factor to help with your post stage analysis if you are not using one already. Getting the balance between accuracy and speed can be tricky when you are starting out. Buddy up with a more experienced and or higher graded shooter if you can and ask for feed back. Video can be great. Get someone to video you and if you can video someone who can run the stage faster/better than you can and compare the 2.

A very impressive journey. I see you have dry fire reports but I am curious what your current dry fire and training routine/plan is?

You don't need to do anything to it, it's ready to shoot from the box with a good trigger. Dry fire the life out of it and get some quality coaching if you can.
