Just had a guy get DQ from a gun falling out of a CR speed. I run a Safariland 014. When the lock is on, the gun ain't coming out.

I use a Burris PEPR, and a Warne SKEL. Both have stood up to a ton of abuse. My only complaint, is I like the mount knobs on the ejection port side, as to not catch them while charging the rifle on unloaded starts. The PEPR has large knobs on the left side, and have been intrusive on more than one occasion. With that said, I only plan on running Warnes from here on out.

Any idea when this will be available?

Another vote for the Vortrx Viper. I have one on a 34 MOS for WO. Great sight at an amazing price.

I just put a viper on my 34 MOS, and I either don't get the flicker, or have never noticed it. Overall, it's a tough optic to beat in the sub $200 range.

I'll have to give that a try. I've been trying similar drills. The problem is, it feels like Im doing things "right" while I'm doing them. Then I look at the match video and see thats not the case. Maybe I'll start videoing the training sessions for immediate feedback. I can review after a couple of runs, and adjust accordingly. As far as cutting the corner...my local club gives a procedural if you step out of bounds at all during the course of fire. I specifically asked the RO if I could run across during the walk through. He said no.

I did this exact same thing. It wasn't in a match, but it took me days to diagnose why my new gun wasnt working.

Any drills for position entry/exit that I need to be working on?

This weekend was a 3 gun match, so I was trying to focus more on movement. Ignore the part in the video where I realized I forgot an array, and had to run all the way back (~14 seconds of wasted time), and the malfunctions on the shotgun (another 9 seconds or so). Take away those two things, and I would have been 4/52 not 24/52. I feel like my movement in general is getting slightly better.

Yup, we were chatting on Facebook. I love the AKT UL! It's short, light, and crisp. Better that a lot of AR troggrrs I've played. It's hard to imagine the CMC being better. Might have to look at it if I ever build a backup.

Im getting better at sticking with my plan. I used to solidify my plan, and then change it last minute based on something another shooter did. Now, Im staying with it, and trying to only pay attention to the better shooters footwork...as I know thats a weakness.

Yeah, Im trying to break that habit. I had a mag not seat a couple times last year, and for some reason Im having a hard time kicking the habit. I never do it in dryfire though.

I've been doing about 30mins a day. It still rears it's ugly head once in a while...

I just started shooting USPSA last summer. Currently, I'm sitting at a C (54%). Help me find my low hanging fruit. These were from a match at the beginning of the month. Here is the match break down: Stage 6 - 38 shooters - 9th overall - 2nd open What I Noticed: This stage I had a few mental issues. 1)I inadvertently relocked my holster after the make ready. 2) accidentially bumped my thumb safety on between p2 and p3, and didnt realize it right away. 3) forgot my planned reload after leaving p4, resulting in a standing reload. 4)forgot a target from p5, and had to move back to engage. Stage 4 - 4th overall - 2nd open What I Noticed: I dont see anything that stands out Stage 3 - 19th overall - 5th open What I Noticed: 1) double tapping the mag, when I should have just downloaded 2) failed to fire due to a single issue of hammer follow Stage 2 - 17th overall - 4th open What I Noticed: 1) slow finding the dot a couple times. 2) shot while moving up to p3. Should have ran up and shot standing. 3) standing reload after p3 Any glaring issues? Anything that would help my quest for B class?

This. I've set up mock stages, and ran it both ways multiple times. Im usually a bit faster, and almost always have better hits if I just run up, and then stop and shoot, vs shooting in the move.

Your movement is very "gingerly". It's pretty common starting out, as you are trying to be conscious of safety. It's something I am just getting over as well. Work on exploading out of positions during dryfire practice. Keep your center of gravity low, and your steps short and choppy. Think of a wide receiver running a route in press coverage. Full strides make it harder to stop or change direction.

Looks like you need some kind of drop offset bracket to fix the bending on the draw

Skilz makes a cheap speed ladder. I have one from my football days that I break out from time to time. Helps reinforce the short, choppy footwork.

5.11 Ridgeline. They aren't too tacticalish,so they can be worn out and about as well. I also wear golf shorts when its warmer out.

Ignore them and avoid them. I've only ever had it happen to me once, thankfully.

I try and video every stage. I use the video to pinpoint what went wrong, and if it's not a one time freak occurrence, then it gets implemented into the practice regimen. I also try and pick the things I'm doing well, and use them for positive reinforcement....this way I keep from getting down on myself and becoming discouraged.

I have the XTRII 1.5-8 The 2nd focal plan horseshoe is only visible if the illumination is on. So anything 100 yards and in, it stays on. Longer steel, and I turn it off.

This is a pretty good video on the different types of zero distances, and how poi differs at various ranges. https://youtu.be/0yddJGlJo7c
