38superman Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 This is so not fair. You were unemployed and actually had time to practice. This is quite an accomplishment Micah. The Benoverse is proud of you. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I have made a terrible oversight in my "Thanks" category... Steve Moneypenny-An amazingly tallented competitor and a wealth of information. When I came to him with specific problems, he explained it as an IPSC shooter, than drew parallels to his martial arts knowledge which further solitified my skills. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This is so not fair. You were unemployed and actually had time to practice. This is actually very true and a good observation. On the days that I work mornings now, I'm getting up at 5:30a to get my workout and dryfire in before work. When I get home, I do a bit more dryfire...then go to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 How many hours a day do you dry-fire? I'm trying to get an idea so I can follow in your footsteps It's been at least an hour every day (save match days) for 13 months. I was dryfiring before hand, but haphazardly and without goal setting or a regiment. When I have an opportunity to come back and dryfire more later on in the day, I specifically work reloads, long transitions, and awkward props and starting positions. We participate in one of the few sports that can be practiced successfully at home, and I have taken full advantage of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster35 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 PB, I just saw this post, congrats on making Master. Please keep shooting that Glock like it needs to be shot. I would love to see you join the select few who have stuck it out with the Glock to get them through GM. I wish I could shoot half as good as you do! Maybe once I retire and get my back fixed...ahh there's my goal! To make Master by 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Dry-fire is not about copying what others do ..... it's about doing things correctly, over and over again until they become 2nd nature. Muscle memory if you will. Draw your gun and form a perfect sight picture over and over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle memory if you will.Draw your gun and form a perfect sight picture over and over and over again. I understand that. And of course when I dryfire I should work on my weakness such as weak hand sight picture and cover but I'm still curious to see how other people do it. Not to copy but out of sheer curiousity. What Micah does to improve his "game" may not work for me but being interested in improving my own skill, he may have a drill that I never thought of or give me an idea for how I can make my sessions more in depth.

Micah Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I understand that. And of course when I dryfire I should work on my weakness such as... Exactly! My routine was created to turn my weaknesses into strengths, as well as build up every day skills that are needed. After evaluating this season and the shooting, there are some things that I can back off of, and some things that I need to build up. I'm still at work, but plan on putting something up once I get home. I'll post it elsewear as opposed to here in "Accomplishments", but will leave a link.
