    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for the info. I have not tried drawing and shooting yet. I hve just been dry firing the draw and he first shot. Your information is very useful and I will put it to good use.

    Seevers, did you really have sleepless nights before you made master or it just drove you crazy.

    Thanks Guys

    Hey Matt,

    So it is pinned then and that is legal for IPSC, Steel and say Bianchi? If mine were pinned then I think that I won't have a problem. Yes shooting a 1911 in .38 Super. So my shooting hand thumb should be resting on top of the thumb safety as the shot breaks?

    Thanks Matt

    Hey Matt,

    Thanks for the info. My biggest problem is trying to work the thumb safety during the draw and presentation, sometimes I miss it, sometimes my grip isn't good and it doesn't disable the grip safety. Things like things are driving me crazy. Not problem with the actual shots, just the fast draw I guess. I guess I have small hands?

    Thumbs Locked Down Vs Along Slide

    Hello Everyone,

    I have a question concerning grip with Semi-Autos. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having your thumbs locked down, as in DA shooting VS thumbs along the slide in SA or DA shooting. I have been trying this out and have a lot of mixed results. Mainly looking for the accuracy benefit. Thank you everyone in advance for your help.

    Bob, depending where you live in NJ your best bet is to join us at one of our matches. Old Bridge runs two indoor matches every month (besides our regular outdoor) where we introduce new shooters to the game. They are every first and third friday of the month, around 6:30 pm. For directions and more info check out http://obcats.com.

    Come on down and we'll give an intro to the game, about 1 hour verbal introduction usually by Dave Marques, then we pair you up with one of the regulars for your first 4 stage indoor match.

    Hello Vlad,

    I also belong to Old Bridge, I have shooting there for 10 years. It's where I looked first. I'm sure we would know each other if we came face to face. Thanks Vlad

    Hello Everyone,

    I am considering shooting IPSC in the North Eastern part of the country. I have a few questions

    #1 How do I get classified and why does it seem to take so long?

    #2 What is the name of the game, i.e. shoot as fast as you can while trying to maintain "A" hits.

    #3 What is a good caliber to use I have a 1911 .38 Super Bianchi gun.

    #4 What would be some good practice drills to do, El pres, double tap targets at various distances, etc.

    #5 What is usually the longest distance most matches are shot at and what would be the distance most shots are made?

    #6 Can you shoot both Stcok and Open firearms?

    Thanks you all in advance.

    Bob

    Bob,

    1. You need to shoot at least 4 different classifier stages.

    2. Yes!

    3. .38 Super is good, and a very popular round for Open.

    4. That would be a good start. Some matches publish stages online, you can set them

    up without the extra props for more practice.

    5. Used to be out to 50 yards, but that's not too common anymore. Average is about

    10 to 15 yards, at least here in New England.

    6. Not usually at the same match.

    You said in the Northeast, care to be more specific as to state?

    Hey Dan,

    Thanks for the reply, I think you have answered most of my questions. A little back ground on myself. Live in NJ. Run the NJ Police Pistol Competitons for the entire State AKA PPC and have been furtunate to win the State Championship 3 times in the last three years. I feel that I am stalled at my shooting, think that something new might help. I did hope that targets would be shot out at 50yds, but I think I will give it a try. Thanks Dan
