steve223 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I shot my fastest elprez ever last night in practice with the open gun 4.09 & 55 Points HF 13.4474 I was really happy my best before this was a 4.97. Steve Andersons dry fire drills work!! I shot a D on T2 I looked to T3 before i broke the shot, i have been haveing a real problem with doing this lately trying to speed up my transitions i look away just as or just before the 2nd shot breaks.

diehli Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 i look away just as or just before the 2nd shot breaks. Blake Miguez looked to be doing this on one of Matt Burkett's DVD's... can't remember which one/set, but it was in the Extra Shooting portion. Guess it all comes down to how you've trained and how your motor skills work. I notice myself doing this sometimes as well as doing the exact opposite (sitting there staring at the sights, then wresting my eyes free from my brain and looking to the next target).

steve223 Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 I remeber seeing him do that on vol 4, My problem with it is that my gun starts moveing as soon as i look off & i dont see my dot lift.I guess i just need to stay with the gun a little longer.

Steve Anderson Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Steve, There is a fine line with transitions...you need to call the last shot and then drive the gun to the new target. This is a sliding scale...with close transitions like the el prez, you can accept less input because you KNOW where the next target is and can already see it. Bottom line, know that you have reached that speed, turn the vision back up. Great news! SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmercury2 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 WE are all capable of doing exraordinary feats and hit factors in practice but i look at my scores in a match as the true indicator of where i am in competition where th heat is on ., best regards on a phenomenal accomplishment. too cool!!!

steve223 Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Trigger T i cant think that fast either, Thats how i did it I know i cant do it in a match yet but you have to be able to do it in pratice first.If i could quit thinkin at a match i might be able to repeat it. Thanks Guys. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmercury2 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I never think while shooting, it tends to confuse and slow me down,. i only do what needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larrys1911 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Whats "thinking"? Congrats.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 do an el prez like that cold, like a match..thats probably the best indicator of you abilities.. in practice i can crank off a bill drill well under 2 seconds after 3-5 warm up runs... but cold i normally drop two or three points and do it in about 2.5 or so... Im gonna try practicing the morning of the match this weekend and see what that produces...maybe better could be far far worse. we will see.

TriggerT Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Well, while I didn't shoot an El Prez quite as fast as Steve223, I did break the 5 sec. mark last night. 4.87 with 55 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve223 Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Great Shooting TriggerT And you dident have to think did you Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 No, there was NO thinkning involved. To brag just a little, my run was with a single stack .45, no a Foo-Foo blaster. That makes somewhat of a difference in the splits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Anderson coerced me into daily practice and took my El Prez from 6.21 to 4.81 in 60 days, and I did not think I could go below 5.0.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Great shooting. I've had Steve's book since april and doing several dry sessions of el-prez but yesterday I did about 6 live runs and my best time was 5.08 with 52 points. I shot STD - Minor.. I've shaved a good 1.5 seconds off since I started practicing in april.. Next week I'll be under 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
