Thanks brother, i've been slacking on the dryfiring as depression has set in a little. Another female broke my heart as well to add to the pile of shit i've swallowed all year. Been a long year but i'm pulling out of this funk i'm in and taking it out on the Targets!!!!!!!!!!! Time to dryfire till my finger falls off!

OpenDot Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yup Doc clered me to go try it out with the brace on, lasted all match and the knee held up great. My shooting on the other hand completly sucked!!!! http://youtu.be/nbRIkOK8wDk If I even finished in the top 50 i'd be shocked...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenDot Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yay back to shooting again!!!!!!!!!!! http://youtu.be/wAmtgXZ24Uk shot Tuesday Night steel at rio came in 63rd out of 160+ shooters. Shot thursday night steel at PRG and came in 23rd out of 83. Week 1 back shooting, what i've noticed so far... I suck!! Dryfiring helped while i was recovering on my draw fire...and that's it. My grip sucks, target transitions suck, splits suck, arm extension sucks, balance sucks, trigger control REALLY SUCKS!! still afraid that the knee isn't going to be there when I take off running. Hell i almost forgot the damn range commands and i'm an RO. So....I have to spend as much time at the range as possible, 7 months off from shooting killed me, High Desert Classic is next month in NM, i'm shooting C Production..thank god because if I shoot B Open..i'll be last for sure.

OpenDot Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Day 3 back shooting: USPSA Match Much better today, I took my time and called my shots (except for stage 2 LOL) grip and trigger control were much better tonight. My movement was better tonight as well as I had a little faith in my knee, no pain afterwards...gotta say Doc did a great job. http://youtu.be/XL14Y1-cmrw Saturday is another USPSA Match, going to crank up the gas a little bit more...

OpenDot Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 4th in GM at PRG Steel Match http://youtu.be/BqzlsmZjkfU Not feeling the CZ Shadow at all, selling that thing. Just can't get used to it. Spoiled by my Open Guns. Shooting Open this weekend in NM in B I'm gonna get a holster and go back to the tupperwear G platform for Production. CZ Dislikes... DA 6lb trigger pull, long reset, shitty rear sight for my eyes. I know everybody loves these shadow customs, I can't hit anything with it!!!! Switched back to my trusty Banshee and cut my times in 1/2..... Minor sucks Reloading sucks Iron sights suck.. 9/27/2012 my times... Davis, Randy OPEN GM 12.75 15.65 16.37 7.62 - 52.39 Davis, Randy LIMITED D 14.09 23.69 32.00 21.46 - 91.24 I didn't even watch the CZ video...delete!!!!

OpenDot Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 High Desert Clasic was awesome, shot a pretty shitty match, had a couple mikes...no no shoots or procedurals or DQ though, got swept on stage 10 by squad 10 and almost shit my pants though...holy hell!!! had a great time though, never seen stages like that but i guess 7 months of no shooting and 3 weeks training I couldn't do any better. Metal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenDot Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 After a lot of thought sinse the match, I have requested to be moved back to C Open as I can't run and have physical limitations with my left knee and 6 screws in my right ankle. It makes sense for me to do this as did everybody I discussed it with. I can't run with B shooters right now as they have a physical advantage. C class is where I should be.

C Class move down approved, at least I can be competitive at Nationals now instead of getting smoked in B because I can't run yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
