EatMeerkats Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I am going to try saying that during my next walkthough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm a counter, and really hate it when a odd steel gets thrown in there and I have to go to odd numbers lol. I was at the OH state IDPA match and a buddy was going, bang, bang, bang, bang, zwweeeerrrt. I was like what the hell was that. He looked at me with a dumb face and said oh, "that is me running" lol.

Siphon Odesse Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I say Alpha...Alpha, Alpha, Alpha..Alpha. Yeah; I pray, too (Never works, though, they pretty much end up Charlies or worse..) Siphon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Gwinn Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My wife makes fun of me because I always say "pop-pop" when I describe the stage to her later. I tell her I'm saving up for a silencer. I'm going to do the counting/alphas thing tonight. You've sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 After I account for all the targets my mental cadence "sounds" like the COF. example: boom boom ding (activator ) boom boom ding ding boom boom, etc. Used to just laugh at several GM's at Rio that ALWAYS do that, like they know what to do . Ahh...it works. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 haven't heard anyone mention weather they take make-up shots during the walk thru...i know i have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 pop-pop, pop...pop...pop-pop. That would be a paper, long shot at an 8" steel, paper string. Actually, I try to set the cadence for the stage on the walkthrough- so I can replay it when the buzzer goes off. It has saved my bacon a couple of times with hidden targets. "pop-pop...pop-pop"... wait, there should be another "pop-pop" before the "pop" on the steel, oh there it is "pop-pop"... "pop". Of course the brain fades (along with all those d*** standing reloads) may well be what is keeping me out of "A". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBoyle Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I am sure that it is not good but I have always clacked my teeth! I walk through and go "clack, clack" at about the same tempo that I shoot. That might be a reason why I have had 4 root canals and crowns in the past few years.

AustinMike Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Squadded with Voight at the TX Limited. Heard some "pocka-pocka, pocka-pocka, ping!, pocka-pocka". Can't forget those poppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoSTViKiNG Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm a "counter", too. And, I always make sure to have the trigger finger long (although nothing in hands, of course) while changing postitions :-P (I watched myself last time doing this, I thought I could post it here. Seriously, as I am quite rookie, it's important for me doing so, probably sort of mental conditioning.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupie Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I am a professional beat boxer so I will make a song out of each stage, it takes me usually three rehearsals and I can set the song to my exact shooting speed, when the buzzer goes off my song starts. I can video tape my practice beat and then shoot the stage and then overlay the song to the stage and it fits perfectly. OK thats all a lie I count when I walk though but I would beat box if I could.

Jim Norman Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Step One; Account for ALL the targets by walking the perimeter. Step Two: Find them all from the FFZ Step Three: Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff etc. Step Four: Repeat as time allows Step Five: Hear Buzzer, mind goes blank, plans fizzle, shoot'em as you see'em. Son of a ... a Step Six: Well there is always next week Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Step Three: Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff etc. That really should be Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff--Ding! -- Duff-Duff -- Ding to account for the occasional piece of steel or two....

racerba Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That really should be Duff-Duff--Duff-Duff--Ding! -- Duff-Duff -- Ding to account for the occasional piece of steel or two.... No, it's: Ding! Duff-Duff-- Duff-Duff You have to activate the swinger before you engage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupie Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If you are talking about a texas star I walk through like I shoot it, its Ding!

Tzygä Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 My friend said peu, peu very softly during walkthroughs last summer at the match. I just had to ask him during walkthrough "Are you shooting minors today?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
