Yar1180 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I got your dry fire book and have just started using it. I noticed something about my breathing. How should I breath on the draw. When I breath normally the random beep of the timer catches me off guard sometimes. Like if I'm drawing in a breath and the timer goes off I feel more stressed. I never noticed it in a match because I think I subconciously time my breathing off the RO's commands, and hold my breath just prior to the draw. After some minor experimenting while dryfiring I'm starting timer, full breath, half exhale, and hold breath until timer beeps. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight to this breathing stuff. Funny the stuff you notice in practice that you never notice in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I will typically exhale on standby...I'm not aware of a pattern in dry fire. I'll observe it tonight and post. Thanks, SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I actually always hold my breath for the buzzer....not sure why, everything else just feels off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I actually always hold my breath for the buzzer....not sure why, everything else just feels off... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too, don't really know why, it just feels right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I have run the timer enough when Steve shoots. Lately, he has been doing about a half exhale on the stby command...which seems to relax his whole upper body/shoulder girdle. I exhale a bit at the beep. The Burner teaches (on his tapes) to exhale quite a bit as you go for the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I used to do an exhale when my hands are up or an inhale when the hands are down (Burner + Saul tip). But I've eventually forgotten all about that, and now that you guys are making me notice,....I think I'm just breathing normally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah, I exhale a bit at the standby. Both of our breath-holders are faster than sh*t, so maybe they have something there. It's a tension/excitement thing with me. I've progammed myself to call my shots, and I want my level of arousal (tee-hee) to go down a smidge.

Yar1180 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Thanks guys. The full breath, release half, hold till beep, then breath normally seems to be working for the dry fire. It just when I get caught doing a inhale on the random beep does it throw me off. It weird not being able to time myself off the RO's cadence. I got two matches this weekend and I'm going to pay more attention to my breathing now that I know what to look for. See what I do normally in the past, and try what I've been practincing in dryfire.

Yar1180 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I just finished my morning dry fire session and I think I found something. I remember reading the part in your book about the eyes closed thing. It got me thinking. How fast could I draw if I didn't need to see anything, how fast would I be if I didn't even need to get a grip on the gun. So I set the par time way down and did some draws with no gun and sight picture. Without trying .6 was very doable. Ok so I squared up to the target in such a manner that I naturally indexed to a lower A hit (still working on drills 1 and 2 btw). Did some more eyes closed no gun draws, all were under .6 and upon opening my eyes the index seemed to be right on. Ok so without changing stance or anything I tried it with the gun. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but I got quite a few under .6. Some I saw, some I saw afterward (it's like my vision blurred for a split second when the timer went off, but it cleared and the front sight was on the lower A zone), some I messed up horribly. Before this the best I was getting was .8 with a lot of bad draws. It's hard to tell without actually breaking a shot in live fire. I think my mind now knows that If I can index to that spot without seeing it under x time, doing it while seeing it must be possible. I'm going to experiment some more. This match I'm going to square up on the first target in such a manner that I can index it with eyes closed. Then just let everything rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Awesome stuff. It is absolutely amazing that once you break down one self imposed wall of skill level....others just seem to tumble down with a fraction of the energy required for the first.

Rapt Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 So I just ordered my copy via the website/paypal. Looking forward to getting it. I'm a new IPSC shooter and when my gun runs I'm pushing the C/B shooters in my area. So I figure some structured practice would be good. (Right now I'm waiting on my new pistol.) Already ordered the other books fron Brian Enos' site, and happen to have an RU Ready timer since the man who makes them lives near me. So no special deals for me today.

triggercontrol Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I read Steve's book after recently receiving it and I can tell you that its worth its weight in gold. I especially enjoy how Steve approaches things from a level of humility that is very mentoring and eliminates ego from the equation. Admiting that we all need to learn more and there is always room for improvement is the key to evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey...gold just hit $500 an ounce...my book weighs 12.2 oz. Thus, R& R is now $6100, and I'll throw in the shipping!!!! SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standles Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Should I tell him I already own a copy and it has a place of honor in the library. You know the one where it is quite and calm. Relaxing enough so one can actually contemplate what they are reading. The library where no one or nothing disturbs you, at least until you flush PS. Don't worry Steve... Brian and Matts books are there as well. Now if I could only hook up an LCD and a dvd player Edited December 1, 2005 by standles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Just made an order for your book. I have a question. I have don a lot of dry fire to get good with long range revolver and rifle. not so much with my race gun. And I ben at a variety of shooting games, mostly steel with the handgun. # first question. do you know how this works with a revolver? I was going to try it for a few months with out the triger work, I just wonted to know if you had any first hand exsperiance. # second It don't seam as though you shoot much steel = fixed plate Steel Challeng? I like steel and I can see that this should be better than what i have ben doing with pulling the triger. I was going to try this with a full size plate. The last question I wathced your demo video of El Pres. I did not see a mag drop, do you do it with out one in the gun to keep from droping them on the floor? Thanks It is fun to see someone addicted to the game Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
