I still believe that a high firm grip beats a low strong grip anytime.

Some perspective on reloads. YouTube the Rob Leatham triple bill drill. For some reason I can't paste it here.

Sevigny competition sights, all black .150 rear, butt plug, and a bar-sto barrel. The factory barrel shot like crap and groups reduced by 1/2 with the bar-sto. Everything else is stock except the grip tape on the left panel.

Burkett Reloads for the win. (assuming your angles aren't jacked up and the mag well points somewhere in the direction of your mags, and the guns somewhere between your belly button and your forehead) Or... you could shoot SS without a well for a couple of years

Sounds similar to a shooter walking down range to tape before the "range is clear" command. A mistake yes, head in butt...sure, not a DQ. I wasn't there so I don't know. I reserve the right to change my mind if details are added.

You shouldn't be looking at the targets to see your hits. I tried the XS sights for a while because they came on a gun I traded for. I found them useful at distances where sights aren't needed, not much else.

After a long break from structured dry fire, I picked it back up in June and quickly developed pain in both arms. Resistance exercises, I think specifically pull downs, have eliminated almost all of the pain. It's a possibility that I worked through it and the weight training was no benefit, but I doubt it

Drill it out.

A timer will definitely help you find some speed... finding targets and aiming, not so much. Approach with caution.

I can agree that the draw may not be that important in a match. With table starts, draws while moving, etc., an actual stand and hose may not even present itself. Working on your draw, however, does much more than just reduce your draw time IMO.

Learning to shoot in a state of mind that allows you to call every shot may be the most important thing. BE It will feel slow, and that's why many are afraid to trust it. SA I'm going to combine and borrow these two. It's exactly what I needed to hear.

Just a quick update. My 34 with the new barrel fitted by bar sto shows no improvement with the 125/124 gr bullets after two range trips. I tried some 147s for the first time, so I have no history but they shoot better than the light bullets. It still is not as accurate as my 17 . 4 different powders and 6 different bullets. Not in a very good mood right now.

Got to test the new bar-sto in less than favorable conditions this weekend. I did see a little more consistnency with the atlanta arms ammo and some hope for improvement. I have since picked up some titegroup and hornady 147s to test also. I was hoping the clays would work, since I have several pounds left but it looks like it's time to move on. I have an e-mail in to bar-sto. I was curious what they suggested as far as bullets, shooting lead, and if .355 vs .356 would make a difference. I'll post when they respond.

I put a new fitted Bar Sto in my 34 for the same reason. I haven't benched it yet but hope to soon. I'll let you know if it was worth it. With shipping and fitting, it was almost at another gun with them. The 34 with the factory barrel was noticeably looser at the hood area compared to a 17 I have that shoots groups that are roughly half the size.

I'd be happy at 2.5.
