ErikW Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 It's like a submachinegun with a slow cyclic rate. My first one today was 1.55 but I froze on the trigger after the fifth shot and stopped when I got spooked. I've shot fast splits before but never strung them all together in a Bill Drill. When .13 is the slowest split, it's spooky. My second one was something like 2.5 with all kinds of huge variations in splits due to trigger freeze and overgripping the gun and being too tense. Then I relaxed and ripped the 1.69. Nevermind that I didn't put them all in the A zone. If I had, I would have put this in Skills or Accomplishments.

Ron Ankeny Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Man that is spookey fast. That trigger feeze stuff really sucks, but I think Bill Drills are a good cure. Awesome times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yeah I was so spooked I tried to bounce the trigger in recoil and make it double... no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorba Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Nice one Erik, awesome splits, my best is a 1.75 with a .96 first shot. Damn trigger freeze is my biggest problem, even in a match. When you find a cure let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Cool. It's all about the relaxing. (Anderson did a 1.47 @ 8y...in a match the other day.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Damn liar. You have a STI/SV selector switch on that gun and you know it. I know some people with an extra chromosome who are gonna call ATF and rat on you.

ErikW Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Every Bill Drill I did today was under 2.00 but had a bad trigger freeze with a split double or triple the other split times. I guess I just couldn't relax today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeevers Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Relax If you can do 1.80 or lower you are as fast as you need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.carden Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Relaxing on demand seems to be one of the hardest things to " CONQUER". WE all try to push the limits of our abilities but " tension" always shows up one way or another. I have been able to get may draw time to .85 , splits .18/.20, ( 6 rds with a revolver in 1.83 secs ). It takes me about 10 moon clips to get the rythm and to relax enough to go this fast. In a match , other things come into play that slows us down, but how nice it would be to match shoot at these practice levels!!! Anyone got that figured out?

jkelly Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'm wondering what trigger freeze is and if that/s the problem I'm having? Respectfully, jkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'm wondering what trigger freeze is and if that/s the problem I'm having?Respectfully, jkelly Trigger freeze is along the lines of short-stroking a pump shotgun. Shooter is too tense to let the mechanism cycle fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Damn Dan !!!!!! Thats good with a bottom feeder Let me know if we are going to bump heads anywhere and I will bring the crying towel to use after you show us all how to use one of them things. Can anyone remember what Jerry Miculek did on his record setting run? hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Jerry's run wasn't from the holster. If I remember correctly, his time was under .5 sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Yep. Don't try to shoot fast..ever. Shoot with vision. Let your vision control your trigger. (Kinda tough to do...even if yiou "get it".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
