Very cool

You guys are great! Might as well throw this one in there. What lb trigger u guys shooting? My limited gun is 2.5.

The equipment dosent make the shooter. I went through JJ Racaza's class a few months ago. At the end we wanted to see him shoot. He borrowed one of the students glock and holster. He ran smoke and hope in 1.89. This gun had a factory trigger and factory sights. Any of those top guys could grab the biggest pos of the shelf and smoke you. It all comes down to practice, and you have to practice the right things. If you are practicing bad habits you'll never improve.

Ok I think 8 will be a safe start. Can always change later.

Ok what size dot do you guys like to use. From what I was reading 8 is a good place to start. At least with a cmore you can change them easily. I only shoot steel challenge and some falling steel.

Pm sent, I think new to this forum.

I can't wait to try this!!!!

That sounds good. Thank you guys for all the info!!!!

I'm trying to wrap my head around why open guns are so much faster. I understand a comp gets the gun on target quicker but you can't move a open gun to the next plate faster than a production one. It must come down to the bullet will hit where the dot is and not where the front pin is if it's not lined up with the rear sight.

I went through a phase where I think I could of been a world champ at missing. This is my best year so far and all I'm doing is not allowing myself to break the shot unless the pin is where I want it.

Planning on a xdm with carver mount on top. Cmore slide ride on mount.

Very good that's what I wanted to hear.

I never shot a dot before. When I shoot iron if the plates are close together I "follow the bouncing pin" and if they are far apart I move my eves to the plate and catch up with the pin. Is it the same with a dot?

Im currently shooting limited in steel challenge. Im considering building a open gun so I can shoot two classes. I have watched countless people shooting a red dot draw really quick and then struggle to find the dot for their first shot. I never have a hard time finding my fiber front pin. This makes me wonder if I would actually be able to shoot a open gun faster.
