tightloop Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 when I was in the service and there was someone who had a name the DI couldn't pronounce, he was immediately dubed "alphabet"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Lee I play keyboards and know it helps my eye hand coordination vastly as well as my fine motor skills. Don't give away too many secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Mink Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 deh-mah-cul-lan-gan Close? I had forgotten the musical angle, but I think that helps also. Rythym, timing, focus, precision, it's all there, along with the calming effect of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Looks just like Lee got himself a forum nickname: The Violinist. I like "The Fiddler" better. It sounds like the old Batman villain, "The Riddler." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 By the way, I'm curious how many people can pronounce my last name... every major match, i dread hearing my name....DIMACULANGAN I'll bet I can say it ... but I'm not sure I can do it pseudo-phonetically on here. I'll try: dee mock you long'n For the same reason I can pronounce yours, I'll bet you can do a good job with "VIRAY." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimel Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Okay...back to topic...sort of... I do regressive weight lifting. Start with a pint of my favorite beverage and keep lifting it to my mouth until it weighs only as much as the original containiner, refill, repeat. Oddly this seems to have a negative effect on my hand-eye coordination. And Juniors can't practice at the same "workout locations" as the rest of us. But it does wonders for keeping my belt nice and tight (a tight belt keeps that holster nice and stable during the draw...right?) as well as relieving stress.

Lee Dimaculangan Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 mann... that actually took me a few seconds to figure out what u were talkin about... until my 1st major (space city in april) - ill be doing a lot of upper body training... as well as endurance and speed...i gotta handle that recoil and make sure that dot always stays in the same spot... im still amazed how fast blake, max and jj can haul during field courses.

DogmaDog Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 By the way, I'm curious how many people can pronounce my last name... every major match, i dread hearing my name....DIMACULANGAN Heh. I saw this name spelled at least two different ways in STI's contingency winner's add in Front Sight. So if they can't even spell it the same way twice, how can you expect anyone to say it correctly ever? Congratulations on the wins, by the way.

Dalmas Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Golf is awesome for the mental game, and body coordination. To improve eye speed I focus on the stripes in the road. I carpool to work at 2 a.m everyday on a deserted freeway. While driving 75mph the strips (in denmark) pass the car with about a .15-.20 split trying to focus on every stripe will get your eyes in good shape in no time. BUT FOR GOD SAKE DO NOT DO THIS WHILE DRIVING ITS POTENTIALLY LETHAL. After doing this for 3 weeks (5min / day , 5 times / week) I could easily track the front sight regardless of cadance..

Jeeper Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Lee, I still cant believe that you are shooting that open gun now. Even worse is that you have it for your avatar. As for pronouncing your name, that is why everyone at our matches just calls you Lee. Keith B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I have to give props to Jimmy Mitchell, I think he is the only person I have ever heard that didn't completely butcher Lee's last name. And Jeeper, I'm still looking for a contact name for you in Houston, so sit tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 ok i can read/understand everything you guys say, (born in manila) but grew up here in the states... talking back in tagalog has been kinda hard ... hehe You're way ahead of me, youngster ... I was born and raised in Indiana. I speak and understand only English! I had to use a phrase list on a Tagalog web page to create my messages! Here's the rest of my Pilipino-Tagalog repertoire: Ako ay guwapo! And the same thing in Pampango: Masanting ko! By the way ... is your family from Batangas originally? My dad said you name is Tagalog and you might be from the same province as his mom. My family is mostly from Pampanga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Beverley Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I've done a fair bit of skiing and some of the balance excercises have been useful when adapted to shooting but mostly I've learnt a lot about teaching from some of the instructors that I've been fortunate to ski with. They were (are) at the top of the tree, including National team coaches, and some of the stuff I've picked up has been invaluable for teaching. Certainly in the early years it helped me re-shape my courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
