This! My first match back after a decade a few weeks ago. There was a stage that I decided to shoot with a different strategy than the rest of the squad, because I knew it was faster. Halfway into the stage, I found myself celebrating being right.
And then, it promptly fell apart... Rookie mistake that I'll have to recondition myself to stay in the moment and focus on what I'm doing.
This happened to me just yesterday in Steve Anderson’s class. We were doing a shot calling/transition drill on steel. Goal was to keep shooting left popper right popper back and forth until you missed. I reloaded after 20 hits and as soon as I thought “damn! I’m still going strong” I missed. 24 total hits. Nearly everyone in the class had a similar experience. One they started thinking about the shooting instead of just staying in the moment, they missed.

I have 2 and they feed/function fine. I bought over p mags for the 1 extra round.

In all seriousness, these dry fire gimmicks are either invented by, or meant for people who don't understand how to dry fire.
I think you nailed it here (and I also love a tasty empanada)

That was my thought. Based on airsoft pistols that have blowback, I think those get about 40 rounds per canister. I have to imagine that this uses just as much.
This also begs the question... why not just use the airsoft for training like many do. You not only get the benefit of recoil simulation but you also get hit confirmation from the pellet.

I think the biggest group to benefit are those that don’t get to live fire often. I use dry fire to work on manipulation and index but if I dry fire too much without frequent live fire, recoil control and accuracy seems to suffer.

I’ve been entering this state of being in the moment with a clear mind more and more and every time it happens i perform my best. Focusing intently on one thing at “stand by” seems to help (sometimes just a spot on the ground or edge of a target)

Seems like a cool dry fire tool but I’d imagine you are constantly refilling with CO2 anyone that dry fires daily use one of these?

As others have said. Lighter bullet and lighter spring. I shoot a 200gr bullet with a 14lb spring. Adding a shok buff might help too. The slightly shorter slide travel makes it feel a little faster for me.

PSAD = Practical Shooting After Dark

Ah! I’ve heard that he’s not an advocate. But I also recall one of his video reviews on pstg where he mentioned in feedback back that “you have that super efficient scoop draw”. We draw to get the gun out of the holster so we can get to the shooting. For me, the scoop is the most efficient way to do that.

Yes, your Google fu is totally worthless. Everyone knows that PSAD refers to the "PSA Density" which means "The relationship of the prostate specific antigen level to the size and weight (volume) of the prostate."
Somehow I think that Matt1 might be asking someone to pull something out of their rectal database, but not sure. Great information there. Anything is possible.
Haha! Well now I know.

Send a question into PSAD asking what they think about scoop draws
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Google has failed me. Who the heck is PSAD? All I can find is Pennsylvania society for advancement of the deaf. I think a scoop would work well for them too in USPSA.

Only if you shoot idpa or 3-gun. For uspsa, the scoop is where it’s at!

that would work but honestly if you're just wanting to compete in the division id strongly recommend the new Walther steel frame. You'll end up saving money and have a better consistent trigger. Especially, with Walther making a factory flat trigger option. I'm a limited division competitor btw

Got to play with one of these on Saturday. Shot great but I just can’t get over the tiny grip. I have medium hands and my strong hand over hangs a bit. First time I pinched my hand inserting a mag in a looooong time.

Primary Machine is also offering a slide cut package for them that makes CO weight but doesn't use interchangable plates like the CZC setup. Someone (Maybe primary as well?) Was also offering a milled CO legal slide for about $700.
Also I firmly believe function > form but when compared to a Shadow 2 that Walther is an ugly duckling.
I just saw that on their website yesterday. Tempting but not at $700!

New member here. Been lurking for a few months after purchasing my TSO. Thought I'd join and start contributing.

What is a TSO?

Hmm that’s a good question . My first thought would be STOP as soon as I realized what he was about to. He may be under the impression he can’t leave the stage with a loaded gun so he simply wants the slide off?
That was my reaction and I think the best option. A few extra steps need to happen between squib and rod going down barrel. You’d have to be a d-bag RO to count attempting to remove the slide as attempting to clear a squib. Even though it technically is since it’s step 1 in the process

Just carry a zip tie in your back pocket and stick it the barrel through the chamber. No need to field strip the gun .
Gotta love the simplest solutions! That makes it easy.

The rule applies when there is a squib? Once you stopped him and cleared him the COF is over. Just have him holster and take it to safe table.
Ah! So if I did not stop him because I didn’t pick up on it and he starts to pull his slide off during the COF then the rule would apply?

A couple of weeks ago I had 2 shooters with squib/suspected squib. Shooter 1, I did not stop. Was watching the gun and did not see/hear anything different. He stopped himself. Turned out he had one stuck....Shooter 2, I stopped. Seemed pretty clear as the slide barely moved and pop was a puff. With both shooters, after verifying they were clear per normal ulsc procedure I sent them to the safe table. #1 did have one in the barrel but surprisingly (to us both) #2 did not. After looking at 5.7.7 I’m wondering if I should have field stripped both firearms to confirm or not? I’ve been an RO for a couple of years but this is my first time running into squib issues (2 in one squad!)

I just realized there’s a new rule on this too! I stopped a shooter a couple of weeks ago for a squib. Right after I stopped him he unloaded and showed a clear chamber but then was going to field strip his gun. I stopped him before he could and told him to head to the safe table after hammer down/holster.
But...this made me think...at what point does the new rule apply? When you remove the slide or actually pull the squib rod out of your back pocket?

Last year, Area 8 match sponsors (PHLster, Race Street Range, and Techline Technoligies) coordinated a 4-hour bleed control class for Area 8 staff. We had about 20 attendees who received training and were given a tourniquet and blow out kit. We now take the equipment and knowledge to every match we shoot.

I was lukewarm on the regular 320 but recently shot a friend’s x5 and was really impressed with the balance and low recoil.

I switched in the fall of last year (from production to Limited) and our season is just getting underway now. Not planning a stage around reloads allows me to focus more on the shooting and movement which leads to an overall better experience and performance (for me). In production, I sometimes shot a stage in what felt like an illogical manner because it made sense to do so because of where I wanted to reload. In Limited, I shoot a stage in what feels like the most efficient way and just work in one reload at some point when I'll be moving.
Regulation shooting box size?

When a 3x3 box is designated for a classifier, is it measured from the inside or outside? I don’t see it specified in any classifier stage briefings. Using a box made with 2x4s makes for a big difference
