carbon9 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A few more notes, as I am a skinny bastard, it is much easier to do with my Salient M2 at my shoulder then my Winchester SX2, weight and my M2 is just a ton easier to load then my SX2 even with more extensive mods to the loading area on my SX2. ....and it is always humbling to run the local match, even when I feel I did pretty well on most stages and then see kellyn's score. I am taking up Highpower as well for the education I need. Don't want to, need to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ok, things are finally starting to look and feel how they are supposed to! Just have some rough edges to smooth out. Thanks to everyone for the advice! Especially Kurt, Jesse, & West. I'm really glad I asked for some help, as the "new way" is already beating the old times, and I've only been at it for a week. So, here is the current culmination of all your help sofar. All, I got to do now is commit to some regular practice, and I hope I never have another "sure wished I'd practiced that weak hand reload" moment.

Jesse Tischauser Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Your technique is solid!!! You will be smoking it in a month. I tried to shoot a video for you last weekend and you should be aware that not practicing for 2 months makes your left handed retarded again. Dont stop practicing.

Dan Sierpina Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Kyle, you're doing a great job. Jesse, sometimes it takes less than 2 months for the left hand to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Payne Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 All these videos are making me think I should make one! Seems like a good way to examine any flaws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Well Steph could always show you how to do it right, or you could send me a video clip and I could critique it for you, but as you and I both know I am going to lie and you are going to do it bad in the video to make me think you actually need help. I thought you guys filmed everything, that is why so many of you get in trouble See ya soon amigo! Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Payne Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Tyler I want to see the video of you loading eight and beating the par time at 4.8 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Brian, I have done that a time or two in practice. (when the batteries in the timer die before the par time beep.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric4069 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 This sequence and Kurts comments have inspired me to try practicing my weak-hand reloads keeping the gun at my shoulder. I had been thinking it looked too difficult but actually it seems no more difficult than loading with the gun off the shoulder. As a rank beginner I should be ready for the season by spring with some practice. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ahhhhh and the infection spreads! In 2003 no one in Europe had ever even seen weakhand loading, and now it is quite common in IPSC action shotgun evens over there. It has taken Americans a bit longer but hey it is spreading.

rlc9194 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm still working on 8 in less the 12sec. Found out just how bad I was when I got my timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Kurt, I'm passing around the hat to save up enough coin for a bronze casting of your left hand. I'll let you know when I need to borrow it. I shouldn't need it more than a week for the mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey just go to Grummans Theater, there is already a mold there...it,s easy to find it is the one with only one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAC Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Good stuff here! Are any of you going to give a clinic at the AR15.COM RockCastle 3 Gun Match, or perhaps a guest appearance on the upcoming Novekse Shooting Team DVD? Seriously.....I appreciate everyone sharing their experience/technique here. I got to remember to thank Al Gore for inventing the internet. This is good stuff here!
