The Tanfoglio frame fits my hand a lot better. ben, is there a significant difference between your stock ii and the stock iii? what made you choose stock ii? They are pretty similar. The Stock 2 has a bull barrel and is easier to get in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepswithdogs Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You appear to be picking up quite a bit of speed Ben. Are you feeling more settled with the new pistol? Especially enjoyed watching this one, thanks for posting it. Tar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stoeger Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Training has been proceeding as planned. I identified a couple weak points after the Great Plains match. Mostly my crappy reloads and poor shooting from tight positions. I feel like I am knocking out the close range targets just fine, so I am cutting back on training for them.I should be ready to go for Area 3.

Ben Stoeger Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I am currently enroute to Area 3, and I am looking forward to it. I had a downright TERRIBLE practice today, so I will dryfire the shit out of my gun in the next couple days to make up for it. I think that will leave me in a good place to do great things at the match. I have been really busy the last few weeks. Doing one on one training, recording my DVD, Podcasts, etc. I have been finding time for shooting… and I am getting to shoot plenty when I am working with people. I feel a lot better than I did before Area 5. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Stoeger Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Area 3 is on the books. I only got video of day one. I shot conservatively. This match had many opportunities for a trainwreck and I did my best to avoid them. Almost everyone on my squad cratered on one stage or another and quite honestly it scared me. I just didn’t want that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaylanGivens Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 On the first stage you shot each paper target three times... I'm assuming that was a stage requirement? Great shooting... always learn from your videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 On the first stage you shot each paper target three times... I'm assuming that was a stage requirement? Great shooting... always learn from your videos! It was a stage requirement. It kinda sucked for figuring out with 10 round magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Want to hear how it went, looks like maybe gun issues? Total speculation of course, but Looks like Ben won a lot of stages and then DNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimonp79 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hello Ben, I have went over your website and your videos of DRY fire. These days I am training production - (with CZ SP01 Shadow), previously I shot 4 yeards years Standard devision here in Israel I have a question about shooting strong/weak hand. I am right handed and the right hand shooting " single handed" is going well. The problem is with LEFT hand HEre is couple of videos to see - how the " spreading " goes today 2 weeks ago 3 weeks 5 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkSpawn Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Want to hear how it went, looks like maybe gun issues? Total speculation of course, but Looks like Ben won a lot of stages and then DNF. He shot some very good stages, he was keeping a close eye on JJ's times.. Second day into the match, on the second to last stage, he got to the last 4-5 targets and gun went click.. He thought he felt something break. Checked the gun, said nothing was obviously wrong with it. Felt it was an ammo issue at that point. He packed up his toys and left.

a matt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well if it is the ammo, I'm not going to take a chance, I have seen and heard of to many a gun granading and taking part of a hand with it. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
