paraman1 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) So after a 6 year hiatus from handgun comp's my skills have degenerated to point that I think I can honestly start over . It will be a perfect opportunity to start fresh and re-learn the sport while leaving behind my bad habits that kept me in a C-class rut for nearly 4 years . I started back a week ago shooting my G17 in limited class where I finished dead last with a whopping 3.85% of the points the match winner had . That being considered I believe I have no where to go but up from here I already have a proper limited gun on its way and an idea as to what equipment I would like to be running on the belt . That coupled with BE and Saul Kirsch's books in my hand and Matt Burkett's videos sitting in the DVD player I will attempt to build a solid platform to compete from rather than the haphazard , fast-shooting and fast running lunatic platform I was shooting off of before . We shall see how it all goes for me and I will try and post regularly as to my progress in this endeavor .

paraman1 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Shot a Steel challenge match on Monday night with a borrowed gun , holster and some ammo I had never shot before . I finished middle of the pack which wasn't too bad considering the pistol started to fail to eject towards the end . Have been reading Brians book and collecting gear . I traded my box stock G17 for something a little more suitable for limited class in the form of a Para P-16 limited that has been fairly well worked over and 4 mags with Dawson Basepads . Got to go shoot it and adjust the sights but cannot really do much dry fire practice as I don't have a holster for it just yet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paraman1 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Whilst waiting for my holster and some other stuff to show up for the Para I shot another steel challenge match yesterday . I used a MkII Ruger and finished second in the .22 class and 4th overall :)Excellent practice for making smooth target to target transitions as well as watching the sights . I am thinking I may buy a GSG 1911-22 just to shoot the steel challenges with and use the Para for when steel targets have to fall and paper has to be scored . I will just tell my wife "Its so the kids will have something they can shoot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paraman1 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Still chugging away at it . Finally got all my mag pouches and picked up an airsoft so I could practice in the backyard (squirrels hate it).Its been too cold and wet to shoot matches but the weather is starting to turn around and I should be able to get outside and practice with live ammo I did shoot my first 3-gun match Sunday and my best stages were shot with the pistol , of course the fact that both my AR and my Shotgun puked may have been a contributing factor to that I finished middle of the pack overall but 12th out of 14 for my class ...
