In particular, what he does for those forearms?? He has forearms like Bruce Lee in his videos.
And a related note, he prefers a hard grip with his hands and forearms, but everything else is relaxed when he shoots?

On a related note for those who have seen them, what do you think of the DVDs; How to Shoot Fast & Accurately, IPSC Secrets, and Pistol Masters?
I've seen Pistol Masters (which is a video of the Steel Challenge) and IPSC Secrets. The former is worth it just for the vivid, live fire demonstration of the efficiency of the Isosceles stance versus the Weaver. At one point in the video...
Thanks for the review. I'll have to add those videos to my "to buy" list.

The reviews seem good. Although, since the main purpose would be supplementing my normal gun, I would want something with same size/shape as a 1911 or SAXD.

The best handgunners on the planet shoot USPSA. A lot of them shoot in Open Division. The fact that you don't see a particular device being used *at all* ought to lead one to a pretty specific conclusion.
Well, for all I know the other possibility could have been etiquette. If competitors thought use of a laser sight was cheap, or negated the use of more refined techniques (like using the sights). I've seen that in other sports.
But that's interesting that laser sights have that many problems with use.

My sister that lives in South Seattle is thinking about getting a gun and is looking for a place that is not too far away to shoot. I live in Michigan so I thought that I would ask here. She is NOT looking to get into competition at this time.

They've got ladies night every tuesday at Wade's in Belluvue. That's reasonable close to south Seattle. You can search for more ranges below.

Are there any online videos of Brian Enos shooting? He looks pretty awesome in his book, but I've never seen him in live action. Some sort of clip on youtube/googlevideo would be great...

Get a copy of Ultimate Advanced Revolver, like other folks have mentioned. On that video Jerry shows how a revolver can be shot. Watch the video many times and shoot matches. After a while , when you get a bit of experience, you will begin to see things in the video that Jerry does openly but it's just that you can't see it at first.
Well I was just curious (and very impressed). But I've got my hands more than full with my semi auto for the time being. But one day...

Yeah, I get double vision with iron sights, too.
Those sights are pretty cool in that you can focus on the target instead of the front sight.
So laser sights that put the red dot on the target rather than superimposing the red dot must be illegal in IPSC?
-
Thanks ihatepickles. Can you tell me what the sight picture looks like with one of those, in particular, do you get a good sight picture with both eyes open?
-
One of these. Anyone here have one?
-
Can someone explain those big halo-type sights, or possibly just post a link to the sight companies?

Just lost 10 pounds...Its amazing and really works. this is my 7th. day.
after falling on the stairs last week because i thought i can leap and was still in my high school fit? i failed to leap and fell on the first plat form. This really made me think that
I m over weight. besides, my knee would also give in on me from time to time.
10 lbs is a lot of weight. I will do it again next week.
I hope some of you guys can try this diet and I beleive it can improve you GAME!!!
I thought you meant "grandmaster" diet. I'm sure that diet would be heavily critisized (and obviously has been) ... but if it makes you feel better then go for it. At the very least it may help you to clean out your pipes. Ever heard of "colon blow" cereal? Maybe that's where some of that weight loss is coming from.

In regards to the History Channel Miculek speed shooting clip... can someone explain the technique he uses to shoot so fast?
A friend of mine said he was faning the hammer, but I don't see that.

Do you guys use any special adapters to make reloads easier? (I don't)
I'm just learning reloads and they're a lot of fun so far. The way if feels to work on dexterity... a feeling like juggling or using butterfly knives. I would have started practicing reloads sooner if I had known they were this much fun.
It's good to hear that other people catch their magazines sometimes too. A few times I have even missed the well altogether. Getting better though.

If you're shooting a 1911, get a Marvel conversion.
I believe either Advantage or Ciener makes a conversion for the Glock.
If it's good enough for Rob Leatham...
-
I think the Kimber .22 1911 (non conversion I believe) looks really nice, but it's a bit pricey. I'm not sure if there are any other .22 1911 or similar pistols.

I'm considering getting a .22 pistol as a supplyment to shooting practice. Any suggestions of a good .22 caliber pistol?
-
Thanks for the info. It's much easier to seperate the casings now rather than later. All it takes is a seperate box. And that way I'll have them seperated if need be.
Also, as XD niner pointed out, yes the blazer ("blazer brass") that I have is of the brass variety, not aluminium.

Anyone know what the relative amount of chemical energy stored in a primer is compared to powder of an average round, like 9mm?
Also, do all center-fire rounds use the same size primers (9mm and .45 for example)?
And how much damage can a primer blast do?
-
Pellet gun is an alright idea, but I live in a city. Shooting that outside would get me killed. I could take it to the range, or possibly rent a .22 there. Those are some good additional suggestions. I almost exclusively dry-fire, so I really need some trigger time. Even a .22 would help.
* Purchase reloaded/remanufactured ammo
* Purchase sale ammo from chain stores
* Reload/remanufacture your own ammo
* Learn from every round
* Practice with a .22 caliber/use a .22 caliber conversion kit
* Practice with a pellet gun or airsoft
* Dry-fire (numero uno training method)
-
Anyone here know of a good reloading tutorial?
-
Well it looks like everyone thusfar prefers reloading their own ammo, as opposed to purchasing reloaded/remanufactured ammo. So the saving is much greater when reloading your own versus purchasing reloaded?
I saw 1,000 rounds of remanufactured/reloaded 9mm for $120-150 from some reloading company. By reloading myself can this cost be cut down to $20??
-
When collecting once-fired brass, is there any reason to keep track of which manufacturer it came from? For example, would you keep once-fired Blazer brass in a seperate container from Winchester brass? Or just toss them all in the same bucket?
Also, do a lot of guys sweep up and collect their own once-fired brass after shooting? I've never seen anyone do it.
I'm thinking of collecting brass to ship for remanufacturing/reloading or less likely, reloading myself.
-
So far I've only purchased range ammo, which runs around $11 per box of 50 rounds. I would love to shoot more, but the cost holds me back. Searching this forum I came across a few methods for improving the cost of shooting. The following is a short list of these methods. Any comments or additions?
* Purchase reloaded/remanufactured ammo
* Purchase sale ammo from chain stores
* Reload/remanufacture your own ammo
For the time being I would prefer to avoid reloading my own ammo as the learning curve for shooting is already steep enough.
Irratated Lower Bicep/inner Elbow Of Support Arm?
in Handgun Techniques
Posted
I've been training dry-firing for 1-2 hours a day for a couple months now... a few weeks ago I must have practiced for 12 hours over the weekend and the connective tissue of my lower bicep/inner elbow of my support arm became irratated. It feels a little inflammed as I present the gun, I guess because of the simultaneous lifing of my arm using my front deltoid along with contraction and exention of my biceps.
Anyone else have this problem before? It hurt most as I experimented with grip rotational variation of the shooting hand grip; I believe it was non-neutral causing the support forearm to force the sights into alignment.
I'll probably just use contrast baths on it and then go back to training the neutral grip that I have settled on since then.
