Yes i understand that. I shoot rimfire steel challenge matches and spent a lot of time on ranges wearing eye pro. I usually just slack off with eye pro at the house, no excuse but it is what it is.

Yeah i should wear eye pro more than i do. At the house i rarely do but trying to get better about it.

Ok so the camera and software was a nightmare. I didn't really do any editing just gonna post it up. If you guys dont mind taking a look and giving me any pointers I could incorporate into dry fire training etc I'd appreciate it. Grip, stance, draw, etc. Video: Your going to notice that I miss a lot this video. That's my first time with this pistol shooting those iron sights, the supressor height factory sights, and was shooting this in between storms here. I never took the time to actually paint targets or set paper out to see where it shoots, one because of the storm and two because I just ordered the apex barrel and I'm sure POI is going to shift with that anyways. I'm probably also going to order the dawson precision sights becuase, well, these suck haha. Anyways shooting 147 grain cci lawman speer here. Pistol setup: apex ffs trigger with comp springs talon grips esp magwell tt baseplates springer extended mag release blade tech black ice holster

My next trip to the lgs i plan to buy some paper silhouettes and use them with steel.

Thanks for the tips guys. I will definitely incorporate all that into my training. I have about 3 weeks before my first match. I will check out the dawson sights and probably order them with the barrel. I feel like i have good finger discipline, finger out of the well while not actively shooting but film will tell me more. I have an array of 5 steel targets at 25 to 34 yards i typically shoot at. I know for sure i need work on calling shots while shooting for speed, movement, and faster aquisition of targets. Ill post a link of slow motion live fire drills tomorrow.

On a side note After looking at my grip and adjusting it per some pro shooter videos....man is my strong hand middle finger pad sore. Not sure if thats a sign of right or wrong but i think my support hand is squeezing those fingers into the grips and its a littke raw from the sand papery talon grips. I plan to shoot a video of my draw and grip tomorrow to share with you guys to let you pick me apart lol.

Just to give you guys an idea of where im at i practiced live fire today. First 50 was just grip and figuring out what worked and what didnt. Next 50 i spent working on getting a 1st shot hit on a 16" steel plate at 25 yards from holster. I averaged around 2 seconds and dipped into the 1.90 range when things went well. Making the shot wasnt hard but getting the dot on target quickly was. I was always hunting the dot or having to drop the site onto the target. Will keep working dry fire daily. The stoeger dry fire reloaded book will be at my house monday. Should i buy snap caps or dummy rounds as well as his mini targets. Figured i would buy the 1/3 targets and set up my garage as a little range. Might also be important to note i will be shooting open until i get a new barrel. I had a m&p pro core performance center so the barrel porting out me in open anyways. Plan to buy a semi fit apex barrel and loose the dot and run limited. I have the apex ffs trigger with comp springs, 3 mags with tt 140mm basepads, esp magwell, and a blade tech belt, holster, and mag puches. Lots of info i know, just trying to include everything

I will order the book. Thanks

I've got my gear ready to shoot USPSA and I'm going to a match next month for my first time ever. I have fired handguns etc off and on for years. Never really taken anything serious though. I want to use USPSA etc to improve my shooting skills. I have a shot timer and would like to know if anyone could provide me any good drills or par times to use for dry fire practice. Today was my first "practice session" and I simply worked on drawing and breaking the first shot on target (dry fire). I was using a 2 second par time and I felt like that was making me really get it right to get the shot off. I've noticed a lot of my issue is getting to the gun, grip, and then the presentation. Found myself searching for the sights / dot while presenting to the target. I want to make the most of my time and efforts and I'm sure you guys could lead me in the right direction. I can shoot right out by the house and I have steel plates placed from 15 to 25 yards and beyond. I have a shot timer My full belt setup for competition I also bought an airsoft gas blowback replica of my pistol to add a little fun factor to the dry fire training. Any and all advice is welcome. I'm hear to learn and improve! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!
