Racer377 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Day 2: Great improvement. Less mistakes getting through the drills. Tomorrow will be all about getting the "asp". Today was a little sloppy with the sight picture. Been thinking lately, why didn't I dry fire over the summer? because you were too busy going to every match in the state?

Chris iliff Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have Dryfired twice since class. Nothing really structured, just trying to burn in some of the new technique. Just found out tonight that my timer only goes to .6. .6? Give me a break. Got to check out something a little less restrictive, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Well Chris, time to upgrade your old antique timer. Your now in a new mode... Rob, I got to thinking... I shot ~24 USPSA matches ~14 SCSA matches ~16 FNS matches 1 IDPA match I missed out on all the Cowboy, 3G, and most of the IDPA matches... next year... Edit: I just realized I went to at least 54 matches this year. That's sweat! Edited December 12, 2012 by CB45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Day 3 SA drills 1-12. Went well. Took just about an hour. Focused on sight picture. I was able to meet par times and get ASP. It was sweet. Im reducing par times on some drills as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB45 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thursday I shot 2 rounds of trap at MCFG. It was like shooting swingers, but you never know which direction they are going. Ehh, I will go back sometime... not really that interested in investing the time to be good at it. Friday I went to FNS at MCFG. I won the single stack division. There are some Production guys that are really stepping it up. May need to get a production setup so I can compete with them lesson learned last night; only thinking about calling your shots really works!!!!!!!!!!!! Let your subconscious do the rest! Today was day 4 of S.A. dryfire drills 1-12. Definitely getting a hand of the draw drills. I need refinement on 8-12. Hitting those hard next week!

Racer377 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've been wanting to try trap for awhile....I'll get around to it one of these days. PRD is where it's at! Do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) So i went to an ICORE match this morning. Shot outlaw division. Its weird to only shoot 6 shots between mag changes. It was fun. Rob came out and I got to practice some movement drills. It feels good to be explosive and smooth. I'm going to be good at this. Came home and ran through SA drills 1-12. No gain on 1-8, but big advances in 8-12. Im going to work in a couple new drills this week. Edited December 17, 2012 by CB45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 S.A. drills 1-20 today took approximately 1:45 to complete. I'm developing a pretty nasty blister on my pinky finger from front strap checkering. Tomorrow is movement drills only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yesterday: S.A. drills 8-27. It was FUN!!! Going to try to do those drills two times a week. Today: S.A. drills 1-12. Huge improvement in 8-12. Turn and draw doesn't feel foreign anymore. This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 2 hr dry fire session working on drills 1-27. I'm tired. Going to break down entering boxes from the left. Something just feels awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Shot one bracket of a dueling texas star match today. It was cold! 29°f. I lacked drive to be fast. I got wrapped up in the glory of watching the front sight lift and return. It was neat, but caused me to lose in the second round. Ah well. Tested a new recipe for the SS gun. Going to run 230gr LRN bullets or a while. They should be better for the bowling pin matches this summer. Going to spend the long weekend reloading. Sweet!

CB45 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 I haven't dry fired since Christmas Eve. It was a good practice, Steve Anderson was totally correct about training your body to operate faster. I'm beginning to be able to actually see more at speed. It's awesome. Last night I spent two hours picking lead out of my the open gun. That was an experience... I've got the money together finally to get that thing re-barrelled. Awesome! Going to order the barrel after the new year. I need to get going on getting my SS belt and holster set up. Got to start dry fire with a skinny gun. That will be fun or scary....

CB45 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 S.A. drills 1-20 took about 1.5 hrs tonight. Seeing real improvement with my reloads. Its sweet to rip a reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Drills 1-12 today after work. Its date night so i ran through them quickly. Noticed that my upper body is no longer square to the target. My stance is little isosceles now with my right side back about an inch.... I don't know if that's bad thing. I my shoulders aren't hunched over. I'll dig into it more tomorrow. Date night tonight and Snowboarding tomorrow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB45 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Snowboarding was fun. I'm kinda beat up. Wrist hurts, head kinda hurts, and my whole body is sore. Regardless I strapped on my belt, and through drills 1-12. Figured out what was up with my stance. So I was clipping the timer on an unused mag pouch, right where my arm should naturally rest. I was turning my torso to allow my arm to rest. Simple fix, I moved my timer. Now its all good. Everything was sloppy and slow. My body aches.

CB45 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 S.A. drills 1-21 today after work. Now that I've got this routine down, pretty much expect that I'm picking up a gun everyday. I'm only going to post when I come across a breakthrough or hit a rough patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 So my right hand is looking pretty bad. I've got rough callus' on every finger and one on webbing between my thumb and pointer finger. I've tried to scrap off the one on my pinky finger, with little results. Guess I am going to have to sand it down.... Speaking of sanding. The polymer grip on my Eagle is getting some serious groves in it from reload practice. I need to get the files and sandpaper out to smooth those over a little.

CB45 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Broke a par time last night for a dry fire El Prez. 4.0!!! I've been close for a while, but the sights weren't on the A zone. Last night, I ripped 3 in a row! It was a good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well I'm plugging away at par times. HUGE improvements with turn & draw and reloads. Everything is becoming second nature almost. Seeing the sights snap to the A-zone much more... that's awesome. One month into dry fire, now asking myself why I didn't do this all summer.
