jpm2953 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I guess I should have put a disclaimer on this as semi sarcasm. I have been dryfiring it a lot. I'm confident I'll be fine. mainly just want to talk about carry optics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, do yourself a favor and dry fire for an hour or so tonight and focus on just finding the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna take it to an indoor range today and put a couple hundred through it and then dryfire tonight and early in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Practice finding the dot, then, when you shoot the match, throw out all expectations about winning and just shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpm2953 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Alright, update. Went better than I thought. I came in 20th out of 75ish overall. 4th out of 8 in CO. Managed to shoot a 84.96% on 18-08. Went way too slow. Just didn’t trust the dot. Should have been about 12-15 seconds faster. Loads of fun. After Battle in the Bluegrass, I’ll probably switch to CO for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB05 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Congrats on the match....im sure the more comfortable you get with the dot you will be hosing in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
