Some kind of sprints probably. Ability to apply 100% of effort for a short distant.

Starting this month, yes

Well IDPA has lost him. He's the Area 8 director now

That's when Ted Murphy was running them.

How new are you? If you don't have years of that grip ingrained into your brain I'd ditch the finger on the front of the trigger guard thing and just grip the gun the same as 99% of everyone else. Even if you do, and a comped open gun is sliding around in your hand, obviously something is wrong and I'd suggest trying something else. Only a small handful of people are successfully using that grip. The good news is one of them happens to be the best shooter in the world, but I still don't think he recommends it to students.
-
Honestly that's terrifying to me that you'd even shoot one shot of a comped gun with no eye pro on.
-
There's another option. Just shoot what you like and ignore the division it puts you
-
That video is pretty useless for diagnosing your weak hand issue, but closing your eyes during every shot seems like something you should stop doing. Wearing eye pro would probably help too.
Yikes

Why do 1911/2011 guns stop at 2 or 3 rounds when this happens? Why don't they go until the mag is empty?
Takes a few milliseconds for your butthole to clench up and then release the trigger. They don't usually run away once you let off the trigger

Hand speed in general is slow.
Weak hand is late in moving. Both hands should move at the same time.You're also tucking your head more than I would recommend, but if you're going to go with that head tuck, then start in the start position that way so that you're not raising the gun and ducking you head at the same time. Pretty hard to get a sub second draw if you sights and your vision are both changing levels

No issues at all but my ammo is 136 pf

I'm definitely not going to go out of my way for it. If it was at one of the local clubs within an hour, sure, but not 2 hours for the effort they put into those stages.
-
If the point of it is to be a winter thing to pass the time then fine, but they are not pushing it as that. I'd rather it be available through the summer so the most people could shoot it.
The GFDS postal match had like 1700 entries I think. If this has half that I'd be stunned

April through June/July would have been smarter then everyone could play.
Yep. Seems silly. Around here we'll get maybe one chance to run it, in late March, and then it's over.

It's a PVD blue from Richter Precision. It's more decorative than protective like a TiN or TiCN, so it may not have been the best choice to put on the barrel, but it was my idea and no regrets. On all the other parts it's holding up very nicely.

Seriously, are we reading the same rules?
4.1.4.2 Cover provided merely to obscure targets is considered soft cover.
Shots which have passed through soft cover and which strike a
scoring target will score. Shots that have passed through soft
cover before hitting a no-shoot will be penalized. All scoring zones
on targets hidden by soft cover must be left wholly intact. Targets
obscured by soft cover must either be visible through the soft
cover or a portion of the affected target(s) must be visible from
around or over the soft cover. -
Nope.
You're saying if any barrier at all is ever deemed soft cover then no target anywhere behind it from any angle can be a partial target in any way?
I don't buy it.
A target isn't HIDDEN behind soft cover if you just happen to not be able to see it from a certain spot on a stage.
-
^^ You must shoot from behind the fault lines. They don't look for your body to be behind cover anymore

Can't really do this.
excerpt from 4.1.4.2: All scoring zones on targets hidden by soft cover must be left wholly intact.
That's not what that rule is for. It's for stages where they cover the targets with a cheesecloth, or sheet or something you can't see through but are allowed to shoot through. In that case you can't put partial targets behind the sheet.
You can certainly put barrels in front of targets, call them soft cover and have the targets be partials. You just have to leave enough of the target visible for it to be a legal target, or have another spot somewhere you can see them from if you want to totally obscure them. The key word in the rule is "hidden". If the target is available from somewhere on the stage, it's certainly not hidden
-
Best way to have fun is to have gear that isn't clearly handicapping you but it's your score, not mine. Enjoy yourself
-
Little bit of tape on the left eye of the shooting glasses is a good way to train the brain to ignore the input from your left eye. Hopefully after a while you will be able to get by without it. Not sure if it will be before or after you ditch that 9mm limited gun. Time will tell
-
I have one in my Cheely gun that already has the heavy frame. That thing is a tank. The weight definitely helps with recoil.
