Sounds like a fun place to troll. Not sure what trolling is but I guarantee you will only get one post at the forum in question before your IP is permanently banned..... they don't tolerate anybody who "don't have his mind right". (Cool hand Luke reference) Link me and I will prove you wrong.

I have been dry firing SUPER aggressively the last few days. My wrists and hands can’t take much of it. Eventually my trigger speed slows to the point where it is almost counterproductive to continue. I am enjoying it! I have been paying particular attention to target transition drills… and I feel like I am really making ground. It is a common mistake for me to pull off a target before I am done actually shooting it, and I am working through that in dry fire to correct it. The only shooting I have done since November has been demo related stuff in classes. In just that little bit of shooting I feel like I have gotten tons better. I am grouping students guns pretty well, shooting my own gun alright. I feel like once I knock the rust off after the snow melts I will be stronger than ever. I am excited.

Huh. Reading this thread you would almost think that you have to be able to move really fast to do well in IPSC. Weird.

I am starting to get genuinely pissed off about the weather. Last year it was 60 degrees and no snow on the ground. THIS year, it is still like the middle of the winter. Go burn some Styrofoam or something and help me out. I want to shoot. See you Alabama guys this weekend!

That would be a serious dry fire motivator! Depends on your wife. We should ask Seehawer how he would feel about this.

He is wrong

Can you tell me about the specific vitamin regimen recommended by opthamologists to maintain healthy eyes? What vitamins/minerals are necessary that are not included in daily multivitamins? Is it beneficial to take something like Prosight or EyeVites prophylactically? http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Focus-90-Capsules/dp/B008OIPQNQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362760863&sr=8-1&keywords=tac+sci

Thanks guys!

Most of the top guys shoot 50-80k a year, or so I have been told. Vogel shoots a lot less (20-30). Beltjones' post about Eric and Adam was spot on. I was at the table when it was being discussed.

If you aren't fast, it doesn't matter how accurate you are... or so the great Rob Leatham once told me. You need to learn to be fast AND accurate. You are already fast. Good for you. Work on hitting the target, that is the hard part anyway.

Oh.

M4C FTW Pistol-Forum.com is also pretty good, but since my IP is banned off that Kita wont be able to use it.

So what? What follows from this, if anything? Who's a better shooter TGO or Brian Zins? There is no answer to that even though they both shoot 1911's. Why not? isn't shooting just shooting? A better understanding of the different perceptions might make me a better shooter. Huh? Can you connect the dots for me? This doesn't seem to follow from what you posted prior.

Andy... next time I see you will be the third date I think.... You will find out first hand what happens on date #3.

Yes. You were in my room when I was all Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V.

I cut and pasted an entire book off the glock talk forum and am now selling it. I have no problem borrowing a line from you.

Wanna touch glocks?

Since your sharp vision is only a very small area, the size of your thumb when your hand is extended, the rest of the visual input is peripheral vision. I wonder if speed shooters rely on more visual input from peripheral vision and high accuracy shooters are limited by it. You can only shoot as fast as you can see, but that would depend on what you have trained yourself to see. Oh. It is certainly good to have the next target in your peripheral vision. It isn't anything special that you need to train to do. If you have it peripherally in your vision you can then just snap your eyes right to it when you get done with the target you are actually shooting.

When you say "Follow through", what do you mean exactly? Focus placed on the front sight as the gun goes off. Seeing the front sight lift and many times the muzzel flash. There is a delay in attention to make sure visually the gun doesn't move (usually due to the trigger pull) that split second before and after the bullet exits the barrel. What if you could aim the pistol with an acceptable sight picture and depend on your index, grip, stance ect. to hold the gun fairly motionless. Your index could take over that last tenth of a second of the trigger pull, just as or before the sights start to lift. The slight delay used to verify the sight picture could be used to acquire the next target. A good trigger pull would obviously go a long way in keeping the gun on target. The terminology here makes it tough for me to follow what you are saying. I guess I don’t get what you are proposing or why it would be desirable to do it.

When you say "Follow through", what do you mean exactly?

I agree. I conduct my reload training while being chased by wolves for this exact reason.

Yup I sure do. PM me if you want to set something up.
