    Tier 2 Match

    in IDPA Shooting

    Posted

    Hey, this is a stupid question, but-There's a "Tier 2" match in Berryville this spring, and I can't figure out what that means as applied to this match. Specialty gun? Don't mean to be lazy, but I thought that designation meant BUG, Revolver or whatnot...

    Locked elbows?

    Cool.

    I know that when I acquire two distinct sight pictures, mine is more of a controlled pair, and very slow, especially with .45 ACP. After thousands of rounds through an M9 over about a 6-week period, I noticed a slight, but perceptible increase in speed.

    I've just lived with it...

    Now, what about strong- or weak-hand only? Locked...?

    How to Translate Practice Performance to Matches

    in Handgun Techniques

    Figure out how to get in the "zone". People evidently reach it in different ways; I use visualization and slow breathing prior to whatever activity I'm about to perform. Helps me to concentrate at a level much closer to optimum.

    I don't belong to IDPA or USPSA (as of yet), but I used to have to do a lot of shooting, and I stumbled onto the technique by accident in 1981.

    Just take regulated, deep breaths and visualize the drill you're gonna execute, and "allow" yourself to perform while you're still focusing.

    Apex Parts Needed for new Pro?

    I was fortunate in that I just picked up a M&P 45 (4.5) that has a trigger not unlike that of the stock trigger on a few of my 1911's (before any work was done).

    I was tickled to realize it would probably just smooth out while I got used to it over the course of a few hundred rounds of range fire, and wouldn't require any smithing or tinkerin'. I like the controls and lack of snap to the recoil; it just might get to be my favorite pistol after a while...

    It's been my experience that many old guys maintain fast-twitch and coordination comparable to that of teens. Combine that innate capability with a seasoned mindset and polished shooting and handling skills, and you're looking at a true competitor.

    On the flip side, you'll run across old guys such as myself who are just too lazy to excel...
