EZ Bagger Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Treadmill and dry fire.... Hoping for an hour a day during the week for the next month. Work will get in the way a few times, but most days shouldn't have an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 40 on the treadmill and 20 dry fire for the last two days, although I probably would have been better off just quitting the dry fire today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Same routine today, but a much better mindset for the dry fire. Dropped one reload the entire session. For me, that's tetons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Not as much time on the treadmill, but setting up tomorrow's match will more than make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Match day today. Shot OK, especially considering the setup and other duties that make the home club a long day. Best part of the day was "learning" some of the intricacies of shooting prone. Went back and did it a couple of extra times just to get the feel of it. I was quite depressed that I had too many D's and 2 M's on 99-09...and all of them (except 1 D) were on the prone string. By the 5th time shooting that string the points and time were good enough that I know if I get the pleasure of shooting that classifier again I'll get a 90% or better.

EZ Bagger Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Match day again today. Quite the drive to get to this range, but they did us right with some very good stages for their Qualifier match. Nearly two hours of driving gave me plenty of time to decide my strategy for the match...especially since Nationals made it quite clear what the strategy should be for all but the Aurora matches. Shoot at 90% until i'm capable of knowing exactly where that is. Then, go to 95%. So, for today, told myself 90%, see the dot, good grip. Shot every stage at 90% except the last stage (4) of the day for me. Had a swinger start up prior to activation and had to shoot the stage again. So, decided I'd make sure I didn't throw away my good match on the last run. Shot that one at about 85%. In retrospect, 90% would have been a sweet deal: I missed out on winning Open by less than 8 match points. Oh well. Shot the match clean. Reloads were good enough. 93% of available points. No Mikes or No Shoots. Had 3 D's, but two of them were on stage 4 and I took those intentionally so I'd stay away from no shoots around a swinger. Didn't win even a single stage but in the end, the results were AWESOME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ Bagger Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks Stu Wish you were there to School me. On second thought. Wait til the Qualifier series is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Good workout today, especially since I didn't even come close to feeling like getting on the treadmill. Did. Pretty mellow dry fire session. Workd on getting the grip right during the draw from both hands at sides and surrender. Need to keep working on getting that solid left hand grip without taking (wasted/counterproductive/bad bad bad) the time to lock out the elbows.

EZ Bagger Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Treadmill time this week was good. Shortchanged the dry fire part because...well...in the long run the exercise will be better for me than the dry fire. Still did some, but not the solid 20 to 30 minutes that it takes. Next two weeks will see even less shooting/dry fire as the end of tax season nears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Match today. Really only two positive things to say. First: .71 draw to two A's on the very first draw of the day. Second: I am seeing the dot really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
