Building on what we learned last week with the drill "Three Way", we again address shooting on the move with this week's drill. The setup is simple: you start in a box with 3 targets in front of you but must move to a second box to be able to see and engage a steel target. We run the drill two ways. First, we start and immediately move to the second box, and shoot everything from there. Next, we shoot the entire string on the move. Based on what we know from last week, it is shown again that it's much faster to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra99 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Matt, How do your hits compare between on the move and static? Shooting on the move is a skill all by itself that will need quite a bit of practice. At times distance will dictate whether to shoot on the move or not as well. Thanks for the video.

waktasz Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Mostly A's if not all A's for most of the runs. I was trying to do it at a comfortable pace and not really look like a hero in the videos. Plus, we've been working on this one for a while now before we even had the idea to do video. I honestly expected it to show that the hits at 15 yards would be all over the place and that posting up would be most worthwhile but after shooting it live we both were surprised at how much better we had gotten at getting good points after running this for a few months. Need to try it again at 20 yards. editted to add: This is practice though. In match conditions with nerves, more movement before the start and therefore accelerated heart rate, etc, I think the distances where you'd want to use this will shrink a good bit...but that's why we practice.

Pat Matt, just did what you suggested and read the write up. You addressed all my questions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra99 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Looking at the Pivothead camera, it doesn't appear to come with a way to add prescription lenses. I think that would be a nice feature. Something else that would be kinda cool, and really interest me, is if they could mount the camera portion above the right eye (or left) so you could actually see what you are seeing when shooting. I know that's a little knit picky, but it would be way cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) They do offer prescription lenses. They aren't cheap, but they have them. The camera over the eye would be great too but these aren't made specifically for shooting and they would require the frames to be redesigned...and they would probably look a little bit weird.

See it now. They are a little salty. Yeah, I would think the camera could be on top of the frame so it would make it thicker. It would look weird, but it would be so cool.

Cobra99 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cheaper to get contacts Yeah, if I had really bad eyes. I only need a reading glasses prescription for my right eye to see those bumps on top of the gun. Still may be cheaper. Though, if I work it right, insurance will cover a frame and lenses.

waktasz Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Gotcha. I can't see anything so I need to wear glasses or contacts. I guess I'm lucky that my corrected vision is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterthefish Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Even if the camera was on top of the frame it would be at least an inch above your pupil so you wouldn't see the sight picture, dot, etc... Just ordered a pair of these - can't wait to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra99 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 But it would be a lot closer. And shooting around barricades wouldn't be blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Compared to the first video, it's a lot easier to see that this one is faster on camera. Whereas in week one the fastest looking way was to shoot them all from one spot. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. We are looking for suggestions to do in the coming weeks.Finding new things to demo that will be as eye opening as these first two videos will start to get harder soon.

peterthefish Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 But it would be a lot closer. And shooting around barricades wouldn't be blocked. Not that much closer. And I would think even with a central camera you'll still see around most barricades - even if you're so close your weak eye vision is blocked the camera is still further out.
