jrdoran Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Been shooting SCSA for 1 year. RFPO and OPN. I've had at least 4 people come up to me ( at different unrelated matches ) and tell me that when shooting the OPN gun, as the string progresses, I lean over and lunge and outstretched arms more and more with each target. Most pronounced in a fast stage like smoke and hope, but apparently I do it alot in most. I'm an A shooter in RFPO and B in OPN. I do it less in RFPO, but probably still there. OPN must border on the ridiculous and it is a no wonder my back is hurting at the end of a match. OPN times are also not improving despite alot of dryfire and matches. I recognize I want body to be like a tank turret and rotate my upper body from target to target, but not sure how to break what seems to be a bad habit. Idea, pointers ? strap a stick to my arse ? Current plan is to video myself and presumably I'll be so embarrassed by what I see that it forces change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackJones Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Lunging is no bueno as they say. KC Eusebio called me out on it last year at the US Steel Shoot match. I had no idea I was doing it. Good thing is you can fix this problem pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrdoran Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 +1 agree no idea I was doing it. Along with stage video, some snap caps should help to resolve shoving it forward and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funflyr Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I suffer from it as well. The more I push for speed the more I do it. I do it much more with rifles for some reason. If I can get myself relaxed it rarely happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game where hundredths of a second are important, being as efficient as possible makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
