FranDoc Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Why does it take me so long to find the dot and recognize that it's where it's supposed to be and pull the trigger?Is this an inconsistent grip/stance/npa so that there's just no confidence? Am I changing my visual focus from the target as the gun's rising? ????

I, too, am working through the 'seeing' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepitt Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The grip that feels the best on the gun and that leaves the trigger finger most free does not naturally (so far anyway) bring the gun up to the left eye. Todd, It's so obvious, you need to shoot left handed! See ya' at Pueblo. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ Bagger Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 10/13/2007 Miles and miles pack hiking with the dogs.... 10/14/2007 Pretty good ego booster. Pitt canceled the match because he knew I was showing up to spank him...left handed. He'll have to face the music someday. Got in a few shots with the Limited gun and will take both rigs with me to work. When I need to uncross the eyes, I'll do a few dry fire routines. Oh well, off to work.

EZ Bagger Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 10/14/2007 20 minutes of dry fire is all I can muster for today. Just too doggone tired and I still have too many tax returns to prepare. I'm going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Friday Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Since the CO state match is on the east side of the mountains this year, I propose we give a new award to the shooter that shoots the highest out of his class: The 1st annual Sandbagger Award.

EZ Bagger Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 10/15/2007 40 minutes of dry fire. I can get into contorted positions where the gun will come up to the left eye...not gonna do it. Maybe when I've not just spent the last 7 days working way too many hours the body will allow for a little more than I'm getting out of it now. Reloads are becoming more natural. Working on watching the first round in, but changing the focus back to the target as soon as that first round gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. An 1800lb draft horse stepping on the foot does absolutely nothing good for the body. All I can say is I better be able to move by Saturday or I'm gonna whine like an !($& shooter! It hurts like heck and I can't get a shoe on, but I'm off to dry fire. I won't video the stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ Bagger Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) 10/16/2007 Foot is swolen big time. Having a hard time standing up and definitely can't run, let alone walk! But, I got my fat butt up early to get to work so I could come home and dry fire and exercise...no exercise, but 40 minutes of dry fire. 40 minutes of variations of the El Prez, without the turn and hands at surrender. Picking up mags was torture! Best times without any no shoots, but still keeping every shot within A/C was 4.5 seconds and could pretty regularly do 5.0's without too much trouble. The wierd thing is that I started out with no shoots on the mini targets and couldn't really call 100% A's in less than 5.8-6.0 seconds. Then, switched to open targets. Pushed myself to go at 100% and burned em down in 4.5's. Just for fun put no shoots back up. 3/4 of the time I was able to do the same 4.5 seconds with the dot staying within the A/C for every trigger press. Other quarter was closer to 5.0 when I got too tense and messed up the draw. Can't wait to get to the range to do some live fire to verify my dry fire timing is either realistic or dial in whatever adjustments are needed.
