I totally agree on this. And also be extra cautious when doing the "tap-rack-bang" if it's a squib load your M&P will become a paper weight on your desk.

+1 on this! well, at least for me. Tried taking off with left foot while right hand is going for the pistol on one of the stage and right foot on another stage. From the video I was a lot faster getting to the shooting port with the left foot first. Or you can try to experiment which will work for you

Chie, I'm afraid you'll be straining your eyes without even noticing you're shooting if you concentrate on seeing the front sight lift. The more you concentrate on trying to see something, the more you'll probably see something else or nothing at all. You don't need to concentrate, meaning narrowing down your vision to an almost tunnel-like one, excluding anything else from your perception, just to be able to see what you want to see. This is detrimental. What you need to do is to open up your vision, pretending you're not the guy who's actually firing the gun, but just a spectator that wants to see the whole show. Start shooting rounds downrange, without a target to aim on. Just firing rounds into the backstop, one round per second or slower. You would want to be a spectator of your own shooting, you're not concentrating on anything. Somebody is pressing the trigger, and you just happen to notice what goes on. Don't even try to be consciously pressing the trigger, let it go by itself. When doing this, without putting ANY expectation on the shot that you're breaking, you will eventually be able to see the front sight lifting, the slide cycling, the brass being ejected, dirt dusting up where the round impacted the backstop, the front sight landing back into the notch, etc. The trick is that you shall not force yourself to see anything, you just have to relax and watch what goes on. Yes. +10. be Thanks for all your great advice fellas, I would have never thought of approaching my problem that way. Will follow your advice and try it this week and let you know what I'll come up with. Btw, do any of you use an sti recoil master to soften the recoil on your gun? I am using an armscor short dust cone type bull barrel and an eb 2 pc guide rod. Would greatly appreciate any inputs. TIA, Chie

True that! I tried a friends STI in limited sweet cycling action, no snag, and really smooth and flat shooting I guess because of the long dust and bull barrel that gives a heavier front weight.

Hey Luca & Flexmoney, After more than 2 months of being unsure . I finally found out that I am not blinking I guess I really have to concentrate in seeing the front sights lift and open my eyes

Thanks pjb45, I will try your advice. Yeah, I think that's the problem. But I am really problematic with the solution . When I watch the top dawgs perform I am just so amazed how they shoot so relaxed. I think that I can control my anxiety on practice runs. But come game day, I think I will have a problem controlling my anxiety. Anyone knows the remedy to this ailment Cheers

Dude, How many rounds do you usually pop in order to have your new revelation installed in your muscle memory? As I am having a hard time trying to apply recently learned technic as soon as I hear the buzzer! Therefore going back to the the old style, which is crappy by the way Before I hear the LARM and STAND BY, I tell my self that I will just relax and try to apply learned technic. But the result is always the opposite

I have noticed the same. Especially the muscles close to my weak arm elbow will be sore. What I like about shooting without tape and grip goo (if I will stick to it) is that I take that extra step to being independent of artificial help, meaning I can basically pick up any Glock around the world and shoot it well. I wonder if the Big Dawgs from the Golden age (Brian, TGO etc.) used tape, or would use it now. I'd love to hear their opinion on the matter (Brian?) My initial decision of not using anything also came from realizing that the sick runs at the steel challenge by Brian and the awesome shooting of TGO were all done without tape of grip goo. Ouch! You make them seem that old... Anyways, with regards to gripping the gun should I grip it as hard as I can or I should just make it a neutral grip? I know... I know... I should what works best for me. But I will ask for everyones opinion on this one anyway. I just want to have some pointers, before I experiment... Cheers, Chie

Luca & Flexmoney, Thanks for the tips. Will ask for a bud's assistance to see if I'm blinking or not. Chie

I hope Brian can answer this one. Can you really visualize the front sight lift out of the notch and back down the notch? Is it like in slow motion or something different? Because when I align my sights on a target as soon as the gun goes off, I could not track the front sights lift or go back down and have to look for it again and align it on the rear sight for the 2nd shot. I wonder what the GM's exactly see when the gun goes off? So atleast I would know what to look for Cheers

I tried FASTGRIP lotion and it works for me. But sometimes the darn gun still slips from my grip I wonder how hard should I grip my gun

All ya need now is some spinner bling blings and your ready to roll!

Is she a 5" or 6"?

I just love the texture of the grip.

Nice Blaster!
