  1. One major aspect for reloads on the move is how you leave your actual position. My mags are on the left side of my body, so I don't want my left foot move when grabbing a mag -> first step is with the right foot. Next aspect is when you insert the mag into the gun: when you move uprange and your gun is behind you it's obvious you can't insert the mag immediately but when entering the next position. There are three to four "moves" you have to train, and a little bit to observe in stage planning. And yes, it's one of those low hanging fruits.....
  2. This is pretty good stuff, and thanks to all for contributing and sharing. Most of the things written here I learned the hard way in motorcycle racing, the conclusion: in competition don't try to be better than you are, do not take risk to compensate for poor skills and lack of training, accept your limitations and you'll grow. This is why I train for skills and reliable shooting techniques, and see a match/race as fact finding mission where I am compared to others. That might be sometimes annoying as progress seems not visible in the short term, but if you look at successful competitors no matter which sport - they all share -beyond passion- working on their skills, techniques, physical and psychological shape to have that "let it go" or even "let it happen" in race or during match. Of course, that's not linear progress, everytime you find something to improve it will first take you back a step, or two. That's why you need passion to overcome that, and sometimes the strength to work against advice and habits. In my mind to perform best at a match is to have confidence in my skills, have sufficient routine to focus just onto the stage's challenge(s) and knowing (!) that I can make every shot perfect. Like in motorcycle racing you don't win in the first corner/stage, you have to proof consistency throughout -perhaps- a whole day of competition.
  3. There are also 5.25mm front sights
  4. keep the gun on eye level look into (!) the grip when inserting the mag - tilt it! your left hand index finger shall point into the grip when inserting try to: fast (release mag, grasp to the new mag and bring it towards gun) and slow (insert it) - else you run the risk of twiddling around in the match and waste time train also different mag positions from your belt dry fire before reloading so you have to move your trigger finger to the gun's frame (at least we do it here for safety) AND release mag at the same time
  5. So if I got those experts here right the approach is - learn how to shoot precise (small groups...) by having proper techniques push for speed and don't worry about what's on the target, that will settle when the speed becomes "normal" Or did I get something wrong?
  6. Like that subforum, a lot I can tell ;-) During the last weeks I've been working on my SHO and WHO shooting, hundreds of rounds a week. I did improve, really, as I found out some techniques which work for me (minor details summing up). Match day, just a club match but for sure rather challenging and -with SHO and WHO stage. So I was keen to show my skills, after the *beep* ran to the first box - and made quickly four As and a plate with a perfect grip -of both hands. OK, WHO went pretty well afterwards, but those five procedures gave a ridicolous result.....
  7. Not Bayern, Austria ;-) Gun is a CZ75 SP01 Shadow with some small modifications (springs, hammer)
  8. ...right from the heart of Europe. Started shooting a year ago I'm now rather busy with IPSC and hope to get some advice from the audience - currently I'm shooting production with a CZ, the big success still pending.......
