Hey QuicksDraw! Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 How long have you been forced to go without being able to practice due to work, illness, travel, family obligations, etc. How long did it take you to get back up to speed? Between family illness and a broken weak hand trigger finger I'm having a hard time getting motivated into practicing. Help! I need something but I don't know what it is. I guess my real question is; How do you bereak a slump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've had 2 slumps of 6 months, one due to injury, and the other due to stupid choices of women. It took me maybe a week of dry firing and 2 or 3 matches to get back up to speed....which I'm sure I could do in a few days if I had access to a range to live fire practice at.

Pierruiggi Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 3 months without firing ONE shot. I'm still getting back to where I was, and surely, I'll get above that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdragon Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Yea MerlinD, Thats kind of what I am up against, my practice is the matches that I shoot! Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I won my first match after a 4 month slump. Not going to the range that is. I worked hard at home dry firing though. I would break the slump by practicing things that you can do and like to practice. Just dry fire for 30 minutes a day. I doubt you wil be any slower at all.

mcoliver Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 And I haven't been doing my daily dry fire routine in two months. In fact, I haven't dry fired at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasag93 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Going on 7 months without firing a shot from any of my pistols. I can't wait to see the rust fly at my first match back. I think it will take me a couple of matches and practice days to get back into my "C" groove. TXAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4444 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I really don't get to practice. Occasionally, I'll get to do a little dry fire and mag change work before a bigger match, but that is about it. Don't have the time, money, or convenient facilities to practice.... I may have the facilities soon though,,,,movin' to the country. Literally, next to nothing around me so I might get to do a little shootin' Only have one neighbor to P.O. I just have to really focus as I'm preparing for stages and visualize what I'm going to do and just do it. I'm one classifier away from my A card in L10,,,,I wish I could practice,,,,,I may actually get pretty good at this game one of these days.

SiG Lady Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hip replacement surgery on November 25, 2002... Back at the range December 17, along with am adjacent full schedule of work, visits to the gun shops and all the usual domestic errands and professional photoshoots in the meantime. Almost NOTHING can keep me from the range if I really want to be there. Yesssss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
