  1. I did this video for a friend to show him where he was losing time on a quick stage. He is a faster shooter, but hard stops on easy targets are huge time killers. You don't need to push harder on movement into positions, just shoot sooner, leave sooner
  2. A nice strong grip will get any minor gun to shoot flat
  3. I had to go to a metal MSH to help keep the GS from popping out. My hand position on the gun pushes the GS up, so I would eventually wear the plastic MSH housing, break the MSH grip pin.
  4. You should enlighten us with your expertise in the matter
  5. Yep, but its not like they spend a lot of time training or practicing. The quals are basic shooting and most just learn enough to pass.
  6. Its not like 40 bullet technology didn't progress too. The FBI went with 9mm because they thought it would be easier for agents to pass the quals
  7. I shoot 40 and 9m with the same accuracy and speed. Split time is dependent on the speed on my trigger finger, which isn't particularly fast. The gun is always waiting on me. The few extra rounds doesn't out weigh the drop in points.
  8. I wouldn't do a push pull, it puts the recoil down one arm and you are pulling the gun in the direction you are trying to prevent it from going. A nice strong neutral grip, clamp your hands together like a vise and use your chest muscle to keep that vise strong.
  9. To maintain GM level, no idea. I basically worked to make GM and then stopped shooting and started a family. When I do occasionally get time to practice, I don't feel like I have lost that much, since the game is some much more mental than physical. Once I get my grip strength correct, so the sight or dot tracks correctly, I feel pretty good about how I'm shooting, draws and reloads are a slightly slower though Getting to GM from M took more effort, refinement than getting from D to M. Dry firing every day and practicing once a week, with match a week too. Getting from D to M was basically learning to do things the right way and then adding speed while keeping the fundamental solid. GM was making it all perfect all the time. The most important thing is good practice, not wasting time and ammo on either doing something incorrectly, but don't be afraid to try something different to see if it works. Then make every practice difficult. If you having a lot of fun and thinking your shooting well, then your practice isn't hard enough
  10. Vision is very important. One of my friends used to say, "shooting at the speed of sight". You need to see what you need to see for what you are doing, narrow pin point focus on the target for the shot, wide focus for transitions and movement. When I rush my shots, its a lack of follow thru on my second shots. My eyes will start to transition to the next target before the shot breaks, so the gun starts to follow, causing a horizontal stringing of shots. The gun shoots right where I'm looking, I just need to make sure I'm looking at the right spot
  11. Its easier it you black out the rear sight so you only have the front sight fiber optic. Yeah, so its almost like you are looking through your sights at the targets. Just make sure you aren't looking over the sights.
  12. Yep GM, but everyone is going to be different, but generally for easy shots inside 10-12y using a target focus will be faster and just as accurate, some people will transition to more and more of a front sight focus the further they get out. I stay target focus all the way to 100 yards. I found that shooting small targets like a shotgun shell at 25 yards, If I used a front sight focus, I could no longer see the shell. If I can't see it, I can't hit it. With a target focus, I could see the shell and enough of my sights to know if they were properly lined up. Target focus always seemed to be the more natural way to go, I have to consciously think to get my eyes to focus on the front sight. So I don't know how long or how much dry fire live fire it will take to get it to be natural if you are a front sight shooter.
  13. I like the dot to track straight up and down. Changing grip pressure and even elbow position will change how it tracks.
  14. My focus stays on the targets the entire time. I still see the sights, but they are not in focus.
  15. You can't shoot too fast, just too inaccurately.
  16. Very nice. Bedell builds an awesome gun
  17. I tried it in practice one day when my Cmore crapped out, times were the same, so were the hits. amazingly on the last target I was able to call a NS and make up the head shot. Don't mind the guy behind the camera
  18. You can call shots just as easily focusing on the front sight as you can focusing on the target
  19. You are just training yourself to shoot faster with less visual imput instead of training to see more. A lot of shots need no visual imput at all, not the best way to shoot them. Based on your video, it seems like you take a lot of extra shots with the less refined sight picture
  20. It doesn't take any longer to see a more refined sight picture, your eyes see the same image, just your brain isn't processing it. Just break the shot when you see your sights on target, not when you confirm your sights on target
  21. you have a nasty flinch on the first shot, so that isn't helping Don't do a push pull, no reason to pull the gun in the direct you don't want to go and then only have one hand/ arm to control the recoil. Just push out with both arms, clamp your hands together like a vice
  22. I would definitely cancel your order over 1/2lb listed on a website
  23. Mine that was upgrade in Nov (i think), failed on me the other day and is going back today. C-More said that there is another circuit board upgrade. But I'm going back to the standard Cmore
  24. I have tried both of those, still hits my thumb. My strong hand is very high up on the gun, high enough that I push up on the grip safety
