Micah Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Never mind Matt ........ I just saw the picture. What is going on with the C-More ??? I picked up one of the "sideways" mounts to try. It gets the dot really low, not to mention clearing the ejection window. I also have a STI mount in case I don't like it. Interesting...I have a set like that on my Glock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 matt, cool idea but is there a place for a slide racker? you'll need one if you're going to use those swanson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'd appreciate it if we'd keep the banter to a minimum (Keen!) and keep it more focused on constructive thoughts. Swanson's ? Don't they make those frozen TV dinners ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 NICE loads. (In green because I am jealous, only it won't work right now for some reason....tech support!!!.) As to the plane on the wall, it's a "smokin' Rhino" the venerable F-4, I think a G model. Now can we talk about my cookie? I like Open or Limited.....

Matt Cheely Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) 1-24-07 Practicing for the WIIT. Did an half an hour of draws are reload practice. My apartment is messy or I'd do a little movement. As it is I'd probably kill myself tripping over something. From my last reload video dirtypool40 pointed out that I look down at my belt when I do the reload. I was actually getting so lazy with my eyes that I was actually letting myself take a nice loooooong blink. I would even catch myself not looking for the sights after I put the mag in the gun, I'd already be trying to find the mag I dropped on the ground. Talk about time to refocus. So here's a video of a draw 1 reload 1 drill. 1st one is a 5 yard target, 2nd is at 10 yards. Both with a 2 second par time. The Reload Returns I had to pound into my head that I was going to look at the target, to the magwell, and back. Works pretty good, I might just have to shoot L10 at the WIIT with these loads.

dirtypool40 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 pretty friggin' sweet, it was fast before, now it looks SURE. I'm not even gonna post my video 'cuz I don't have a way to edit in cool music. When I have something respectable I'll find someone to send it to who can help... ........hint. ....................hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Matt, Your a bit late on the button. As fast as you are elsewhere, you are going to beat the [exit] mag at some point...which will mean you push it back in with the fresh mag. (you'd already be double stuffing the old mag back in there with the Glock, with it's slower drop) I like to think of it as my left hand racing against my right hand.

dirtypool40 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Good points Flex. I'm no TT but when my loads feel good and grooved, there's three things I focus on / remember. A quick left hand. A good, solid, EARLY push on the mag release. A split second "sight picture" of the mag juuusst before it enters the magwell, like seeing the edge or MSH pin, or the red dot you put in there. What ever it is for you. just my two cents.

Chris Conley Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Jeeze man, those reloads are sick. I'd drive up there to get a couple of days on the range with you. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 which will mean you push it back in with the fresh mag. Or worse, you bash the s**t out of your left hand on the mag as its coming out... Been there and been doing that, myself, and working on changing my timing to get the thumb on the button more quickly.... You'd like to avoid developing that particular timing issue, trust me...

Matt Cheely Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Jeeze man, those reloads are sick. I'd drive up there to get a couple of days on the range with you. Ask and ye shall recieve. I'm all up for lessons! Actually that stand and shoot stuff isn't as easy to teach. Talking to Manny at the Wiit and he said I'm pretty good on the movement portion. I need to take a class from him this year. BTW, I did end up shooting L10 at the Wiit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeInNePa Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Never mind Matt ........ I just saw the picture. What is going on with the C-More ??? I picked up one of the "sideways" mounts to try. It gets the dot really low, not to mention clearing the ejection window. I also have a STI mount in case I don't like it. That's coming together real nice. Wait 'til you shoot with the "twisted" mount, you're going to like it. Remember, Barry's marketing slogan is, "Hey, 2 Master Class shooter's can't be wrong!".

Matt Cheely Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Had my first live fire practice of the year today. Squeezed in about 20-30 minutes before it got too dark. Thinking back, I haven't had any live fire practice in well over 6 months... and I haven't dryfired since I built myself the new limited gun. Noticed something very interesting while I was out there. I've been shooting all winter, at least one indoor match a month. And the last month the season started up and I've shot 3 outdoor so far, and I've shot all of them very well (good enough to be HOA for the last 5 months straight). Yet tonight it felt like my gun didn't even fit in my hand. Couldn't grip it to save the world, reloads weren't happening, and anything with movement was a disaster. Draws were around 1.0 on a 10yard popper. Typical and not too bad for not practicing. But how come I couldn't do anything else right? I stopped and thought about it. How come I can show up at a match, stick my gun in the holster and win? Why couldn't I do that in practice? I couldn't shoot because I was "just" practicing. I shut my brain off So I thought about that movement drill, walked through it like I would a stage at a match, ran it over real good in my head, and flew through it. Wow that felt good. I forgot how to practice because I hadn't in so long. I tell people you have to practice to shoot a match well. But I had to make myself think it was a match to practice well. Amazing how your attitude towards your shooting can make you go for 0 to 100% simply by thinking about it. I love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
