Steve Koski Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 How many holes do you have at present? I can't answer that question without counting. Koski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurAzn12 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) And I know this is a can of worms, but aren't IDPA matches a competition? Therefore shooting to win, and "gaming" it, just a natural part of the competition. In a real life self-defense scenario, you can be damn sure I'm going to game the hell out of it and make sure I have the same number of holes I was born with when I walk away, and the BG has several more, preferably all in the -0 area You're right. That's a can of worms, which is why, here on BrianEnos.com, we don't discuss "real world versus match shooting". Please re-read the guidelines for posting on these forums. Thanks. Check rog I was simply trying to illustrate the fact that when the buzzer sounds, training and practice kicks in and how I shoot is how I shoot Edited July 12, 2011 by EurAzn12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Fast times, down zero - sounds like the perfect combination to me. Yeah - in theory, but no matter the speed, if you shot an entire match clean, how would you know if you couldn't have gone even faster? A few points down shows you weren't going too slowly, while still keeping you very close to where you should've been. I feel I'm there when I add 5 - 7% to my raw time. Over 10% is too many, and you're shooting beyond your control, IMO. Tom I would be willing to bet that if you shot an entire match clean you were going too slow. There are shots where there are partial targets due to no-shoots or hard cover where it's much faster to shoot for "center of brown" and get a couple of down -1 hits instead of taking the time to nail a partially obscured -0 or go for a head shot.

PPC Eljay Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 So buddyro, when are you going to shoot that, master class classifier Leave ends for me tomorrow, going back to the east coast to find where I can shoot one. Sunday 7/24/11, Easton PA. hammer down at 11am Easton Fish and Game is running the classifier as part of our July match. You can get info on the EFandG web site or or nepaidpascores.net Sorry mods for the match announcement but every one wants to know how this story turns out. BTW I'm not sure where you shot that referenced match but they have some COF rules violations, %25 steel max in a stage %10 max in a match. Also a lot of nubes that do great there first couple of matches are runnin pretty fast and loose with the rules,usually cover. I'm not sure how tight they are calling PEs.

The SOs at eaton are generally consistent with rules as are the other SOs in the area where I shoot. I know of one SO specially that shoots at easton alot that is VERY consistent with cover calls. In fact I got one at the independence match from him in the shoot house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is and always has been a problem with the SO's in IDPA ask me or the guys from Rolla PD that is/was the HK guys( they brought all theirs toys and ammo for us to play with them WOW) at the 2000 Ks state IDPA match held in Dexter,KS. But,yea some of the SO's was/are real Son ** *****'** And yes we do want to know how this story ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EurAzn12 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I guess EurAzn12 is just going to leave ua all hanging on this one. lol I wouldn't do that to you... USMC1974 you must know how it is to be in the military and have mandatory training that calls you away from things you really want to do, right? No worries, there is a classifier coming up soon around my area (so I've been told by the rumor mill and a few MD's) I'll keep ya'll posted Until then, back to training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
