Yeah, I've been reloading for as long as I've been into shooting but I just recently got into high volume reloading and picked up a Hornady LnL AP. Practicing really chews through the ammo!

Thanks for all the replies! It seems like this may break down into more like two questions based on replies. There's the "point shooting" portion of the question which is based around sight picture and the "hammer pair" portion which revolves around getting two separate sight pictures or just getting one and smashing the trigger twice quickly. To be clear I am definitely getting a decent flash sight picture. Granted it isn't what I would want for other longer targets but I index the gun, see the front sight and double tap the trigger to get two shots with one sight picture. Based off of what Brian is saying that is incorrect and I need to work on seeing the front sight for each shot. Seeing the sights for each shot seems like the correct answer regardless of distance from what I'm hearing. I'll be curious to see how this affects my time at the next match or if it will have an impact at all.

Hi, I'm trying to improve in USPSA and have just started to work heavily on seeing my sights and calling shots but my question revolves around close targets. In the last match I was pushing really fast and there were two extremely close (1-2 yard) targets where I just caught a flash sight picture and punched out two shots like a "hammer pair". Is this acceptable or is it a crutch? I got away with it and shot alphas on both targets but should I be trying to track my front sight and call both shots on those very close targets or is there a point at which it's fine to just point shoot or do a hammer pair on close paper or large steel targets?

Thanks! I'm in beautiful Wasilla Alaska! I lived in Anchorage for a few years but moved back out to the country recently because, well, cities suck. I'm shooting a CZ75 SP01 Tactical in USPSA Production and Limited and in IDPA I shoot the CZ in SDP or my Colt XSE 1911 in CDP.

Super easy really. I'm a lefty and I just grab the rear of the slide with my right hand "pinch" style with thumb and index finger and run the slide with the gun pointed forward and tilted to the left a little bit. The round generally comes out of the gun nearly straight up the in the air or slightly to the right and I have plenty of time to lower the slide and catch the round.

Hey guys! New member here from Alaska. We have a great practical shooting club up here that's small but very active. If there's any other shooters from Alaska here speak up!
