mitchiepinoy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ok... When you aim to your target and about change your mag, bend you elbow and about to touch your chest, twist the gun where you can see the magwell so basically is in you eye level when you change... The more you see the less you make mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggieddad02 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Storz, I like you continue to look to improve on mag changes. The other day at lunch I found this video which kind of puts things right in front of you to look at. I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storz Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks, I'll check out that video after work today. Lots to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) After you call your shot, focus on snapping the left hand down to grab a fresh mag from your belt and back up to insert it in the gun. The left hand has the most distance to travel, so its course of movement takes up the most time. Try to have the fresh mag up near the magwell so you can insert it the moment the old one drops free. You could also try holding the gun up a bit higher. If you bring the gun up to your eyes, you can keep your focus in the same general plane as your target. If your gun is down in the middle of your chest, you need to take your eyes off the target, look down to reload, then look up again to re-aquire the target - which is inefficient. If you check out the famous YouTube video of Travis Thomasie's lightning mag change, he moves the gun up a bit to reload, which allows him to keep his eyes on the target - then he just has to pull his focus closer for the mag change, then back out to the sights - no up-down eye/head movement at all... Hope that helps. Good luck and keep at it! Edited October 25, 2012 by mudman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm surprised Doug drops the gun to chest level. One thing you may notice when watching top shooters reload on the move is they do not have the gun up high. Could be just the mechanics of running and reloading at the same time. Check YouTube and others for vids and you'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempered Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 One thing I found that helps me focus is breaking down each reload into a single "set". You did all loads in a continous smooth movement as if it were a course of fire. In really critiquing I break it down to a single load, it makes it easier for me to find any necessary corrections. That exercise on the video is also beneficial for fluidity and consistency in the loading. I would practice both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
