Ben Stoeger

Nice to meet you yesterday!

Easter Sunday!

Using live ammo to weight your mags for dry-fire is, for lack of a better term, really stupid. Use dummy ammo.

Put some mud and rocks on the floor in your basement. You should get a much more realistic surface.

I have a couple classes in IL this year. Mink will be in IL this year as well. Corey Estill's name came up I am sure he would be good also. Have you ran any classes in Ohio? No sir, not at this time.

Do a "Shake test" on your extractor. Take your slide off the gun and barrel out of the slide. Hook the round under the extractor and try to "shake" it off. It should be difficult to get it off.

I think the shorter/smaller guns tend to demand you firm up the grip a bit more. I don't think it would be bad to try that out for awhile.

Are you gripping the pistols the same? I mean do you really have control over the M&P? It sounds like if you crushed down on it a bit more you would like the way it tracks.

Could you give some information on what exactly "sight tracking" and "shot calling" mean to you? People tend to not mean quite the same thing all the time and I just want to get on the same page as you before I can make a constructive comment.

Try and make that first run in practice just like your first run in a match. Get "warmed up" and shoot "for real".

Do a little bit of dry-fire as your warm up before you start your training session.

It would need to be a big dorm room for mini stages.

Thanks guys. If I sell more than 25 copies I get a set of steak knives.

It almost looked like you lifted your gun up during the load?

Dare to dream right?

Thank you for the review sir. Yes the dvd is available here: http://www.benstoegerproshop.com/Training-to-Win-with-Ben-Stoeger-DVD-p/ttw-dvd.htm

There are still slots for this guys.

I personally disagree with the technique being faster or a preferred method. In my opinion it is slower and I can't imagine why it would be preferred. I don't think there are many if any upper echelon shooters using that technique. I have never once seen someone using the trigger finger to release the magazine where they were as good as someone using the thumb, let alone better. I look at reload times in classes and get a few people that think this is faster. It never is.

I think a big problem is that people don't understand how good they could be if they decided to put some work in.

I haven't personally tested any pads with a magwell, but I have gotten some feedback that the pads do not work with magwells.

Awesome guys.
