Bigpops Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Curious...how many of you have noticed how the shooting sports has "influenced" your lives? Yesterday I was using my Dewalt battery pack drill. As I changed the battery I noticed I flipped it like I was performing a reload! Awesome!

leam Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Wood working to build my bench, machine shop classes to work on my guns, driving hours to learn from a great 1911 armorer, Brownell's catalogue right beside me, and plans on upcoming needs for bullets, primers, and wondering when I'll find time to reload. Health kick to perform in a match better. Planning family vacations around shooting events. Leam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashvillebill Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've noticed that I no longer punch the buttons on the radio in my truck. I take up the slack, and press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've noticed that I no longer punch the buttons on the radio in my truck. I take up the slack, and press. Until you double tap one, or run transitions so fast nobody hears the music, pressing the shifter button constantly.... it goes on and on and on...

If you find yourself standing there practicing reloads with your drill, you need to sit down and re-evaluate things a bit. Otherwise, go for it! P.S. Stick to doing tactical reloads with the drill. Dropping the battery pack on the ground is a bad thing! Edited July 29, 2009 by Graham Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lim10 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I remember hearing a story where a guy was getting ready to wash a sink full of dirty dishes, his wife came in and found him, essentially dryfiring, how he was going to wash, rinse, and place the dish in the drying rack... By the way, the guy is a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterready Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I find myself shaking hands with my trigger finger straight, down the slide, so to speak. I, for some reason, just can't break the habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revopop Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Since I started smoking ten years ago, I've always packed my cigarettes 7 times, flipped the pack, then 7 more, etc. A couple months ago that since I'd switched to revolver I now do it 6 times.

needknees Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Since I started smoking ten years ago, I've always packed my cigarettes 7 times, flipped the pack, then 7 more, etc. A couple months ago that since I'd switched to revolver I now do it 6 times. More proof that revolver shooters can't count past 6! Wait till you get that 627 and you'll be packing your cigs 8 times I've done the "trigger" disipline a huge number of times. My personal favorites are when you open up your car and there's uspsa targets, ammo, and other shooting related crap in the back, and the reaction you get from some people. Or, taking change out of your pockets at a register and realizing there's brass and/or live rounds in pile. The clerk's face is generally priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 When I click on a box on a computer screen, I take the extra split second of time needed to ensure that my click hits in the center of the box......the virtual A-zone, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.Hylton Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 How about when you enter a room and you think about it like a walk-through on a shoot house or you make sure your cell phone holster doesn't come forward of your hip bone. or When your driving on the interstate and when you see a sign for a gun shop it's suddenly time to take a rest break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashvillebill Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The other day I was driving through a strange town when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a big red GUN sign over a door in a strip mall. So I whipped my truck into the parking lot of a ....uh......SHO GUN restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
