Broncman Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Day before and morning of a match? Do you live fire practice day before and do you dry fire the morning of a match? Trying to improve my first couple stage "warmup" I seem to have going. I have to travel to each match and thinking about getting up earlier to put in at least 30 minutes of dry fire morning of the match. Thoughts?

sumbeach75 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I would venture to say that firing the pistol a few days before a match just to make sure its operational is what I would want to do, maybe at a practice night at the range you will be on. Dry firing for muscle memory is good whenever, even watching tv! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I usually try to live fire few days before the match (Wednesday is my favorite). Dry fire is ALWAYS a great idea - can't get myself to ever do it, but I support those who actually have the brains to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman195 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 For Majors: I'll clean the gun 3 or 4 days before the match. then take it to the range and do a 200ish round mini practice session. Then just dry fire until the day before. Don't do anything the day before (drink, to much normally) Then get up and go shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how far you travel, morning-of could be pretty early. If I dry practice the night before instead, I go to bed thinking about what needs to be done and how I'm going to work on it/focus on XYZ the next morning at the match. I too sometimes feel as though it takes a stage to warm up in the morning. I wish there was a mini stage you could shoot 10-ish rounds/handful of targets before the match starts... we can dream, right? I also live fire practice mid-week before a match, unless I've already shot in the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis103 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 What Sumbeach and Dutchman have said, I clean the gun during the week leading up to the match and take it out for a hundred or so rounds just to get it a little dirty and make sure I didn't put something back together wrong. A dirty gun is a happy gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Once I get to the match I try and warm up a little , don't seem to get it done much any more. I wind up shooting the Breeze!!!! LOL When I made A class I would warm up at one of the safety tables doing draws, mag changes (keep them empty so you don't get DQ'D), Draws aim hit the mag release reload then switch to WH. etc That all helped when the timer went off the first time. Been lax the last year or so playing with several different guns/divisions, ==== not good for improvement but seems like a lot of fun!!!

MonkeyPlague Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Day before the match I spend in the nearest brewery I can find. Morning of the match I explore new and exciting hangover remedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The day before a match, I'll clean and inspect the gun, dry fire and then I generally get all my gear together for the match. The morning of the match, I'll make sure I didn't forget anything. 2 hours ago, MonkeyPlague said: Day before the match I spend in the nearest brewery I can find.
