First Time Out Practicing with Timer & Buddy

[Olin Broke]

Howdy:

Saturday my friend (an experienced IPSC shoorter) and I went to the range for some timed practices.

Well I started out with draw and fire times at 2.04. At the end of 150 rounds I was down to 1.56. On double taps I went from .94 to .36/56.

All in all, I had a great time and learned a great deal, i.e., Grip, Front sight tracking, etc.

I will be shooting a Glock 34 in production.

Sights = Dawson Precision Adjustable rear and post front (Non-FO).

Loads = 124 gr Rainers, 4.6 grs of WSF, 130PF, Soft and accurate

Practice, Practice, Practice

Thx for reading,

Sounds like your getting off to a good start! Remember to always be safe and always have FUN!

Good Luck, Robin

Practice is a lot more fun when you have training partners who are as interested in tracking down the details as you are.

Something that continues to help me greatly is to shoot with people better than yourself. Always mix up your training routine, and it really is fun when you have a group of shooters that advance together.

I really need to find a practice partner with the same desire and goals. I find that all of my practice is done alone and I think it is easier to slack when you do not have someone else to push you.

Congrats and keep cranking

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.

Your right when you say shoot & practice with someone that's better than you.

I'm fortunate, in that, my partner, coach and friend spent a number of years on one of the Army's Marksmanship Team.

The fact is he introduced me to IPSC and I introduced him to Cowboy Action Shooting. Kind of gives us something to do on the weekends.

Best to all for a great Thanksgiving Day Holiday,
