Janskis Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Hey all, it's been a while since I last posted my match video (2 years pretty much) and there's been a lot of development. This time I was a bit feverish and thus neither my brain nor my body were at 100% but I still went to the match. I had huge troubles finding the dot and made the mistake of shooting without it, resulting a few misses. Also got the first two malfunctions this year, last were in 2017 september. This time most likely due to a dirty mag since I didn't clean it after dropping it during the previous stage. Movement seems mostly solid to me, stage plans should be kinda ok except for a few tough ones. But is there something fundamentally wrong still? Or am I just going to have to start shooting a LOT of boring drills and honing my techniques to reach the next level? Also, I went too fast on the second popper on stage 2 resulting in a hurry for the second swinger. Edited August 15, 2018 by Janskis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 WOW ! Way out of my league (I'm a poor B). Love the way you resisted the temptation, most of the time, NOT to stick your gun into windows. Very fast and smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abb1 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Overall, very good runs! I liked that you took advantage of shooting on the move where ever you could. Keep up the good work, M is right around the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Your gun is on target long before you actually shoot. You need to dig into what is causing this delay. Could be focusing on the wrong thing, not prepping the trigger, or several other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 You shoot very upright and seem to stagger into some positions. You should lower your center of gravity by bending your knees and leaning forward at the waist. You appear to be leaning backwards with your knees bent, which makes it slower to explode into certain movements etc. Also it looks like you are eating up a ton of charlies on some of those stages, even shooting major pf you still need better points to some extent.

My biggest advantage is shooting on the move so I try to utilize it as much as I can, sometimes too much...

The excessive dot loss in this match was due to being a bit ill but I do have the same problem even when I'm ok. I got a great tip for transition dryfire training and will start that as soon as my left wrist heals (tore a ligament a month or so ago). I think I'm losing the dot because I haven't really trained transitions properly. On 11/7/2018 at 7:58 PM, Prov1x said: You shoot very upright and seem to stagger into some positions.

Good point! I haven't had to consider the upright position too much since open pistols don't really recoil... I've kinda seen it before but now that you mention it I really notice it, especially on stage 2. I try to teach the stance Travis Haley explains in one of his videos, but I seem to forget it myself as soon as I'm doing something else than training static drills. I'll try to remember to keep my center of gravity low! My A-percentage has declined a lot after switching to major, gonna have to try and focus a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Looks like you really need to drive the gun as fast as you can between the targets. I think you could save alot of time with that low hanging fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed a huge improvement in transitions. Still a lot of workto do though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 No worries bro keep up the good work! Try the jerry michalek drill. 5 targets start in the middle fire 1 on each side going back to the middle each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 @MemphisMechanic I read that to mean he got a great drill tip AND was also doing the Blake drill, was curious about the other drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to stay away from this one as it seems to eat up ammo a lot, but I'll be sure to try it! On 1/13/2019 at 12:24 AM, Chili said: Care to share the drill? Also what Reddit group, I haven't found many worth hanging out in so far. Courtesy of redditor g00n24 : Set up four targets, at least 20-25 degrees apart, distance can vary. Draw on either end, shoot it, transition to the next, return to first, transition to next etc. Basically you shoot in order 1-2-1-3-1-4-1. He originally meant this to be a dry fire drill, but I've found it works GREAT with static poppers using only one shot per target. Keeps the cost low and the drill still efficient. I have also been shooting this with a .22 and it does not impact the efficiency of the drill at all. The subreddit in question is competitionshooting. Great posters there although it is quite quiet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
