ErikW Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Today I ran what I think is my first sub-three-second run on the plate rack (6 @ 10 yards, surrender start) with a Limited gun. You might think a Master-classified shooter should be able to do it at will, but with my 1.5 draw to a plate, no way. I was doing a variation of The Great One's Test, starting over whenever I would miss. Finally, I got ticked off and just stood there running magazine after magazine at 25 yards. Then I stepped up to the 10 yard line, turned off the par time, and let it rip. 3.18 with a 1.55 draw. Next, 2.86 with a 1.35 draw. Ta-da! You have gotta try going from 9 seconds par at 25 yards to comstock at 10 yards. What a kick in the ass. The sight comes off the first plate and then it's like... OH ... MY ... GAWD! It's like somebody said, "Hey, show me a Bill Drill on this barn door." Previously attainable but uncomfortable (hopers) split times (below .30) became comfortable (callable known hits).

ErikW Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 Did a couple more sub-threes today. Again, after getting frustrated by TGO's Test at 25 yards, I stepped up to 10 yards and let loose the Kraken. Paradigm shift: set the par time at 3.0.

MikeFoley Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I did a 2.60 with a Glock 26 once, but followed it with several that were disgusting. I thought that was good until I saw David Sevigny start at each end alternating toward the middle in 2.20. I can't seem to get a good run with my STI because I start out well and blow it by the last plate because of momentum in acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
