uncledoc Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Range finally dried out after a month or rain! Had a chance to practice on the plate racks.....live-firing feels better than dry-firing to me....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moltke Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I took a Steve Anderson pistol class over the weekend and even though he's only USPSA focused I think the skills are transferable to the speed shooting in 3Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

believeraz Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hit the gym with Taran Butler (ok, his 3Gun Show interview) and made a quick range trip. In the pouring rain, I got on a whopping 30 rounds of rifle at 100 and 200M, and 75 rounds of shotgun. Shotgun was function - testing some Rio, Federal, and AAs on shoot/load drills.

TonytheTiger Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Got done with work a little early so I used the shops tools and materials to fab up some challenging pistol targets for my backyard range. Made 6x 2.75" KO steel targets, attached to some re-bar stands by 3' of 3/16" cable because I assumed (correctly) that I would spend a lot of time looking in the weeds behind my berm for the small steel after I shot them if they weren't tethered. Then I went home and shot them with my middle son (5yr) acting as my RO/cameraman. Then I finished putting together my new jogging stroller 3 gun cart, no more making my wife lug 30lbs of gear and 1-2 guns around a match!

JPeel Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I shot my first match since having my left foot rebuilt last October. My shotgun reloads were smooth and I went one for one on long range rifle out to 400 yds. I was slow as molasses but happy to be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I patiently waited for my shotgun to be finished @ MOA !!! Should be pretty cool when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believeraz Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I reviewed match video from a club match on Saturday (where I got my clock cleaned) and watched some video from the Nordic Components match. I also talked with a trainer about some agility and foot - speed drills Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Got a 2nd invictus straight 8ight shell holder. Yesterday added a match saver and opened up the loading port further on my m3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I had a checkup with the doc after carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand, and got cleared for light duty use. It has sucked not being able to shoot, but my grip strength is measurably improved versus pre-surgery less than two weeks ago. In addition, the 'pins and needles' sensation in my first three fingers went away within hours after the surgery. If you have Carpal Tunnel and have been avoiding the surgery, I highly recommend it. Actual surgery only took maybe 10 minutes and the benefits are immediately apparent. Now I am just waiting for the sutures to be removed so I can start live-fire practice again!

Did you have the surgery on your strong hand? If so, holy smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yes, my strong hand. 20+ years of machining takes a toll on your hands, as well as playing Bass guitar since I was 13. Damage to my right hand was severe, left is moderate. I will wait on the left hand until I am not so far behind on work. Kind of had to do the right hand, as I was occasionally having my fingers lock up, or just randomly dropping things from what seemed like a secure grip. Doc said if I continued to tough it out eventually the nerves would die and I would lose the use of three of my fingers. If I had known how minor the surgery recovery would be I would have done it long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openclassterror Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 So it was an out patient type procedure? Glad it is working out for you. Yes, entire operation was at the plastic surgeon's office, local anesthetic, 45 minutes from arrival to checkout. Have to go back in on Monday to have the sutures removed, then I am free to shoot again! I wasn't able to grip a pistol without pain for the first 5 days, but have been gradually increasing my dry-fire regimen since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
