Brazos SC Shooter Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey Micah, That last Circleville match looked like it was a lot of fun. You are pushing Kyle for top production. Nice work. I have to say I admire your determination and commitment. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin40 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Thanks Micah, forgot to grab the camera on the way out the door. You got the main stage I wanted to look over anyways. Flyin I really appreciate the upload Micah. I jacked 2 reloads up and the main one was on this stage. I had an idea what I was doing and thought I figured it out in dryfire. After seeing the video I was right. The mag ended up on the outside of the gun, right past the gun. I'm surprised it didn't just keep flyin and end up airborne, LOL. I been working on it all week, getting the gun up. I been working side to side reloads but no running reloads straight forward. I already ironed it out and glad to see I was working on the right thing. Thanks again Edited May 11, 2008 by Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Micah and John, If you guys want to hear from "Caoch Kyle", let me know. There were a few places for both you guys that could have saved .25-.75s per occurrence. The shooting looked real good for the both of you.

If you "Coach" like you spell, no thanks You know me, lay it on me. I know I lost couple of seconds on that reload. I think it took me 6 or 7 steps to finish it. Other than that it went pretty well, I was only down 4 pts. Send me a pm or just give me a call so we don't mess with Micah's journal.

Micah Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 5-12-08 Shot my third match in a row penalty free Yesterday's match was fun and challenging, especially out in the rain. I am sufficiently pleased with my performance on the classifier (Both Sides Now Times Two ) where despite the rain, mud, wind and target bags, squeaked out a 89%. One room for improvement that I saw was my lack in being able to hammer down on the close open stuff (a perpetual battle). I know what I need to improve on, and will do what I can to make time to work on it before Area 8. Thanks to Flex for the HUGE coaching assistance, and to Chris for once again getting results out in light speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Nice job on the classifier yesterday Micah! I ran it twice and never broke the 7 second mark! Edited May 13, 2008 by CHRIS KEEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 5/15/08 -dryfire Been a bit bogged down with school and teaching, but I still find some time here and there to dryfire. The weather has been rather wet as of late...if it dried up a bit I hope to go practice outdoors this weekend. I stippled my Glock a few weeks ago and am exceptionally impressed with the results. Several times now I have shot matches in the rain, and have noticed the enhanced grip when wet or dry. I also picked up a GoPro headcam from Amazon for my birthday, and am happy with my test runs. With this I will be able to further see my shooting for analysis, as well as obtain film on every stage, every match, without needing to rely on someone else to film me. Been doing ALOT of thinking and visualizing lately too. Let's see what there is to see and experience what there is to experience at Area 8 next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why you should have made a point to go to last Monday nights match because we had a stage where we started with both hands deep inside a bucket of COLD WATER. Just another reason I love my Roupe Grip on my LTD gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 You can always go outside and play in the Great Ohio Flood going on right now and pretend you are at the match. Let us know how that works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 You should have seen all the psychological "breakdowns" because of it. Is it "nerves" or a fear of the unknown ??? People fear what they don't practice (or have ever experienced ie: shooting in the rain at one time or another) ? I always try to listen to what Brian teaches ........ Just get to the shooting ASAP!

BSeevers Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 You should of heard the Bitching Bill, Thanks for the gem lol It is funny cause its NOTHING about nothing. We shoot with wet hands all the time. Its fear and fear can cause negative outcomes and frankly its kind of funny to watch. Yea no matter what just take your hands out of the water, throw the dummy in the bathtub, bowl the bowling ball, pitch the gernade, pull the level or WHATEVER and get to the shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 If you would just grab the gun & shoot instead of "flinging" the water off your hands (as if that helps) it wouldnt take as long to shoot, and you dont get the RO soaking wet (like happened a few times that night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) What video ? Edited May 16, 2008 by CHRIS KEEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Got back from Area 8 EARLY this morning...whatta match Very well constructed, great stages and staff, and perfect weather...I could not have asked for more. I also tried out my headcam for the first time yesterday...and am moderately pleased. (Consequently, if you know of a good FREE video editing software other than WMM, please pm me!) I was able to capture video 9 out of 11 stages. I took a laissez-faire approach to this match, focusing more on getting to the range when I could, flexibility, and relaxation. This match was all about smoothness (aren't they all?) and although I had several faux-pas, I did shoot the entire match penalty free, and with only 3 D's. After the last shots were fired and the scores tallied, I came out at 2nd Master. The immediate pay value of that has long lasting implications as I look toward Indiana and Area 5 in the next 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Nice job Micah. You've obviously got the accuracy thing nailed down, and your speed is coming along nicely. Calling your shots is key to both of those. Seems whatever you're doing lately is working for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
