Beckstar's Ghost Gun returns! Mick B

I'm curious/interested in Eric's post game analysis of why he thought he lost. I think there's a lot to learn from his reasons. Just saying someone else shot better than me, doesn't cut it for me. The fact he took the time to tell us what went wrong is awesome! Mick B

I never use No1 anymore for anything. I find I have far more control of my second shot by using cadence (No2). If the targets are close, my shooting is based more on timing then sight picture. The splits and transitions are equal. If the targets are say 7-10metres away, Ill still shoot with a cadence, but Im following my front sight like a bouncing ball. The splits and transitions will still be very similar. In general my splits will be marginally slower than someone using the...BANG.BANG... method, but my transitions are usually considerably faster.

Hey Phil. Good to hear you might be coming back to Oz to shoot! Having been forced to shoot minor for the past few years...and now shooting my .38 super standard gun in Major at the moment...you'd be mad NOT to shoot Major...if you can! I havn't shot .357 sig major loads before, but I can shoot Major loads as fast as I was shooting Minor loads. If you have an 'SVI' like I do...you basically just have to drop a barrel in and acquire sum ten round mags. As far as loads, keep an eye on the M-Train website, as Stu and I will be posting as much info as we can. We'll be trying to 'stuff' the biggest lump of lead (180gr) we can find, in them! I've been through this whole Major v Minor thing...like Flex said..."...shooting Major rocks!" Hope to see you in Melbourne next year! Mick B

I live on Caffeine Free Diet Coke!

I enjoyed reading what you had to say.

Did some practice with Beckstar last week and got a pic of her gun with some fireworks and looking all spooky! Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!"

Good job! Sum good pics 'n vids. The stages at Area 2 looked great! Mick B

Hey guys. Jus letn u know the 2007 Aussie Nationals have been run and won! Check out the M-Train website for some pics! Enjoy! Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!"

Last weekend at a major match...I shot fast with lotsa "A's" all day...final stage...7 round speed shoot...wicked time...6 "A's" 1 miss 1 Penalty Target!!! GAME OVER! 3rd place with nearly 99%! "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!"

Seriously dude...that was f#@*ing AWESOME! Everyone of those photos is priceless. Its as hot as hell here in Australia, but I really enjoyed that. Thanks!

When I ride her to her limits the front pegs get folded up and I use the passenger pegs. M-TRAIN I really need to meet some of your pit crew. Some more of my..."Pit crew!" "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!"

Cool pics! Lookin'forward to seeing some more.

Awesome work Sharyn...keep it cumn!

Check out Nathans "Morning wake up call" to see how he prevents injuries. Hopefully I'll have some more of his physical training techniques up soon. Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!" www.team-mtrain.net.au

No probs man! If things ever change...drop us a line and we'll try 'n help out. I've seen the stages for the State Titles...they look good. We should get heaps of pics 'n stories from the shoot. Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!" www.team-mtrain.net.au

Hi Joe The drill I use for practicing "two fast shots"... is three targets side by side, one metre apart, at five metres. Hands by sides and try to get six "A's" in two seconds. Thats with my standard Infinity. Hope it helps. Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!" www.team-mtrain.net.au

Thanks mate, we appreciate the offer! Mick B Depending on certain work committments, we will travel to fit in with the right Match. The idea of squeezing in extra matches is also appealling. 2007 is definately out of the question, way to busy. So it will be 2008. The Targeting Ed match sounds like a pretty cool setup. Mick B

Hey Dude I spoke to Stu from Team Mtrain, he lives in Sydney...email him at stu@team-mtrain.net.au and he'll help you out as much as he can. Mick B

Thanks for all the feedback guys. We can only use 10 rd mags here in Oz, so as far as any restrictive laws it shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure of timings, we'd make the effort for the right match. Nath wants to go see New York while we're there, I'm keen az to try an do the Nationals, the Florida Open sounds good, as in the International flavor...I'm surfn' the net looking at vids of some of the matches...it's early days yet to decide, I'll keep researching and planning! Mick B

In 2008 Team M-Train is planning to come to the U.S to shoot. As time and logistics are issues for us, selecting the right Match to shoot is important. Primarily we'd like to shoot your Nationals, failing that an Area Championship. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Or...if you had a choice and could shoot any Match at all in the U.S...which one would you shoot and why?? Thanks! Mick B "...NOTHIN' ELSE MATTERS!" www.team-mtrain.net.au
