  1. I personally think it will be. They want to get more sponsorship opportunities from the big manufacturers and this division will get a lot more people to run those guns in matches. There also seems to be a lot of interest from open guys who may want to try something else but don't want to give up their dot.
  2. Not for shooting specifically but when I was trying to increase my grip strength for deadlifting what seemed to give the most improvement in the shortest amount of time was pull ups followed by hanging from the bar as long as I could when I finished my set. Afterwards my forearms would be on fire like nothing else I tried.
  3. For me I carry a 5hour energy and some kind of snack in my bag. Halfway through the day or when I start to feel like I'm losing focus I drink half of the 5hour and have a small snack usually a protein bar or some jerky.
  4. From 2 yards away I would say you want to be calling your shots for sure. Anything 1 yard and under I don't get a clean sight picture if its a normal height open target. Just by holding my gun up to the center of the target I can usually hit alphas at speed since at that range the A zone is going to be huge. This isn't usually a 100% conscious choice though its more of an instinctive reaction while under the clock. Now if its a low target, through a port, at an angle, etc basically anything that isn't a normal height straight on open target then I get a clean sight picture every time the fractions of a second you'll save will be completely negated if you end up dropping 2 deltas or worse mikes on an easy target.
  5. I use a grip trainer in the car on the way to the range.
  6. I have one of those grip trainers that I use to warm up my hands while I'm driving to the range.
  7. My number one thing above everything else is how organized it is and how well information is communicated to the shooters. Email the vital information about the match ahead of time, where sign up will be and when, schedule etc. I hate showing up to the range and having to figure everything out. Prizes: I like a raffle table since otherwise its boring for anyone who didn't place. I also really like when the prizes and trophies are given out fast no long speeches etc just fire the names out give the prize/trophy and move on. Everyone is exhausted by the end of the day and just want to get out of there and rest. Shirts: I prefer tech fabrics and a choice of a polo is nice when possible.
  8. If you're having this problem it has to be bad grip technique, your hand size isn't the problem. If you feel like your grip is slipping and pushing into it try some progrip.
  9. I had this problem for a long time. Practice walking rolling your foot heel to toe, slow down a little, and last just start trying it anytime you get a chance. Nothing beats practicing under the clock at small matches.
  10. Try taking your finger or a pin and put it about 6 inches in front of your nose. Practice focusing on it, then letting it blur into double and focus on something in the distance. Repeat.
  11. For me its easier to let my weak hand bounce around and just pull the trigger when it crosses the target then to try and hold it steady. A drill I do to improve my weak hand is to just grab my gun and hold it straight out from my body and hold steady while I'm watching TV for as long as I can before it get tired.
  12. I find it doesn't seem to matter for anything except extremely long shots, but I will use only the very tip of my finger to make very precise shots.
  13. If it only happens during live fire I would think it has to do with your grip slipping. You could try something like progrip or a grip tape to lock your hands in better.
  14. I normally use pro grip and it is a night and day difference. Once my grip is set it is locked in there. I recently ordered Grip RX instead because it was available on amazon prime and it is exactly the same stuff only in a different bottle.
