I swap back and forth between red and green. I usually change it about every month and a half. by changing it back and forth it seems to help me with sight focus, Draws my attention into the front sight. I struggle focusing on my front sight when i need to so this helps.
This was taught to me from a guy that’s been in the game for a couple of decades and has trained with some of the best in the sport.

Off season
in Skills
It’s usually dark before I get home from work during the winter so I dry fire most of my live fire drills inside daily. I focus on sight picture, gun handling, and grip. I also work on footwork and transitions in my garage. I run and do core and body weight exercise throughout the year but I also fit in some jump rope in the cold months to help with my footwork.

Pistol for USPSA and general plinking. Calibers would be 9 MM, 40 S&W and 45 ACP.
I use reactive steel plates like these. I also built some with a torsion spring so I don’t have to reset steel. They are portable and lightweight considering the 6”x6” target is made of 3/8” steel.

What weapons do you typically shoot while at the range? Are you training for a particular discipline?
-
I don’t count my shots. I have reloads planned on each stage. I add another reload in if I have little to no buffer on round count after make ups and still hit my planned reloads throughout the stage.
-
Now that’s thinking outside the box! That’s a good way to change up a dryfire routine from single position drills and incorporate movement.
-
Muzzle discipline is a must. Also, It helps to focus on stopping points during a walk through. Focus on getting to those points efficiently instead of walking/jogging towards targets. The stopping points should allow targets to appear as long as your footwork is correct.
-
Hand warmers, feet warmers, and proper layering. I wear mechanix brand gloves because they offer a thin layer and allow me to paste targets and not have to take them off. I only pull layers off to shoot each stage.

This is one of my favorite pics of my Cheely.

Voodoo tactical hands down. They stand behind their products.

Dry fire for me builds confidence in gun handling skills and sight alignment. Nothing replaces live fire. Unfortunately for most of us life keeps us busy and dry fire is easier to fit in on a daily basis. Dry fire practice makes range days more productive.

My cheely has the original grip. I haven’t felt the E2. Love the PVD finish! Do you still have the original grip?
-
That’s a nice set up eggman! I’ve been kicking around the idea of using natural terrain to build berms but I don’t have anything as natural as your setup on my property!

I checked out their website. The pricing seems fair especially if they can review your videos and provide feedback within an average of 24 hours.

I ran a Glock for the past several years and recently switched to a 2011 platform. I love both platforms but there’s something to be said for taking a striker fired gun and beating guns that cost 5X more. I could never do that so I made the switch lol
-
I case gauge every round. I visually inspect the primer seat while case gauging and let the case gauge catch cracks.

To the OP, check this.
Wow, I’ve never heard it explained like that. I saved the advice to a screen shot and will use it during live fire practice. Thanks for sharing!

Bill Drill & Dot Torture drill are always good.
Our host says he usually ends up a practice session with some 25 yard group shooting
This is along with box drills after you get back in the swing of things. Everything else can be polished in dryfire.
-
I’ve often thought about making dummy rounds but never have. I dryfire with empty mags and usually botch the first live fire reload in practice because of the additional weight. Food for thought.
-
I received an email about this today. I look forward to getting feedback on this topic.

Haha, I could afford a 4011 with this advice!

Start a “gun fund” envelope and store it in the safe. Make weekly or monthly draws of a budgeted percentage from your account and don’t touch it until you goal is achieved.
Sell other toys that aren’t used to fund new hobbies, cut back on eating out, or sell clutter items.

Magpul makes one that is under the 20.00 mark. It definitely helps when going prone.

Taccom will be the most affordable until you figure out exactly what you want. They start to release easier as you break them in. I still run their chest caddie for large round count shotgun stages.

What is the sound quality of the music? Have you figured out how to filter the sound amplification? I read the reviews on their page and they didn’t fair too well. Are you still happy with your purchase?
