Baldpriest Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi all! I'm a NoOb to USPSA (5 matches so far) and new to the forum as well. I've fallen in love with the sport, even though I'm really stinkin' it up right now... ha. I finally got a CR Speed double belt, CR Speed mag pouches, and am trying out a Blade-Tech Pro Series Speed Rig Belt Holster for my M&P Pro 9. With my 6th match coming up in a couple of days, I'm excited to try a new method... SLOW DOWN and focus on Alpha hits. I've been producing decent times, but double tapping... resulting in first shot A/C and second shot D/M. I watched the Matt Burkett's first DVD set recently and found a few things I need to work on! This forum has been a wealth of info so far as well! Ok, Enough for now, maybe? Hope everyone has a most excellent day! baldpriest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Welcome aboard. Sounds like you just got some better gear, and realized that "double taps" don't work - you're heading in the right direction. Are you reloading, yet? Good luck at your 6th match ...

I went to a buddy's house last night and got schooled on the Dillon 650. Reloaded 100rds 9mm 124g. That was awesome! I think I'm going to need to invest in a Dillon now... I wonder if my buddy knew that would happen?? ha! I've been working hard on calling my shots and getting rid of the nasty double tap. Hoping to have a much better outing this time! Thanks!

We Baldwins just got to know. Haha! Yes, indeed! Lots of sunscreen... and the hats I wear aren't really for me, they are in consideration of other shooters... wouldn't want to blind them!
