Scooter Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 Should I shoot the actual stages for practice or do something different? Only a month and a half left before the SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Scooter, It probably depends largely on your temperament. I know that I tend to shoot much better if I can practice a certain stage over and over to really get the feel for all of the movements involved. However, I find that you can overdo it ---- so if you were to decide to practice the stages, I would recommend stopping a few days before the match and doing some other shooting ---- be it accuracy work at longer distances, or working on your first shot.

benos Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Scooter, I've always practiced the courses for that match. You might try some variables if you feel you are not being stimulated by your practice. Maybe shoot the courses on paper targets, IPSC or paper plates. Do a quite a bit of first shot training, this is huge for the Challenge. Inspect the stages for your NPA startup point. Get intimate with each stage. Breakdown your worst stages until you have no doubts remaining about what you will do at each moment. And above all, don't take anything for granted - during practice and especially at the match. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 If you can find it, check out Lenny Magills "How to Shoot Fast and Accurately". It was produced back in 1988 or so, but there is tons of priceless advice from Brian, Rob, Jerry, Chip, JM.....I've pretty much committed it to memory so I don't really watch it anymore, but my old shooting partner just left for the SC and he didn't give it back. Great tape. You also get to see BE's awsome draw on Double Trouble..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 OK, I know I said some new videos were going to be up soon, and that is one of them. I did say last week, but I've been crazy busy. Very soon though, maybe tomorrow..... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave pasos Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 So brian, did Robbie, go to the Steel Challenge, with the Laser 6" gun 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Dave, He didn't have any light loaded ammo for the .45, so he'll be shooting his 5" super in Stock class. He's got a lightened "steel gun" that he'll shoot in Open. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
