tpcdvc Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Trying to shave off a tenth of two. I'm hoping some folks can see something and give me a lightbulb moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 have you noticed any slight miss alignment slows the reload when every thing is perfect you dont feel the drag of the frame. what has helprd me is burkett reloads you stop your reload right before you insert. and work on perfect alignment.

twodownzero Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It doesn't really get any slicker than that. I'd start looking for time elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin garcia Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It doesn't really get any slicker than that. I'd start looking for time elsewhere. That's pretty smooth for SS reload. +1 on finding the shavings from somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello: Your reload looks fine. At a match work on your movement to save time. That is what I have to work on as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpcdvc Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know I have bigger fish to fry other than the reload. But I'm stuck with dry fire only for the next couple of weeks and I'm trying to make progress where I can. My thinking on this is since so often when doing a reload on a stage, even when moving, there are targets ready to shoot before my reload is done. So, if I could shave a tenth or two in those situations I could gain 10-20 points at a 10 stage match just on that one thing. The only thing I can see is the hesitation the last inch or so before I slam it home (I guess some call that the Burkett reload?). This doesn't really exist in limited but when I try to tweak that I get too many crash and burn reloads. Can this be honed away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Instead of standing reloads, how about practicing them as your last shot of a position? Move on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Instead of standing reloads, how about practicing them as your last shot of a position? Move on out. What Kyle said. In single stack we are always moving and reloading at the same time. Practice reloading on the move and try to get that reload done in a few steps and haul butt after that. Also, practice reloading around the belt and not just the first mag. Don't know why I"m telling you this is just going to make my job harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpcdvc Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks Flex and Steel. I have been practicing the moving and reloading thing. But I have not done much work at all around the belt. I will add that to my routine. And Corey I'm just an A class anyway. You get to worry about all the big fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I wish i could reload my singlestack gun that well! the more experienced guys beat me to it, practice on the move, coming out a box, etc. Other than that, practicing hauling ass from spot to spot to gain a little time, haha. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc1974 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Start with an empty mag in the gun, and get the reload before the first mag hits the floor. all the while moving.Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats easy. All ya gotta do is wait until you have the mag ready to insert before you hit the release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calishootr Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 the loads looked prettty darned slick, I will saythis tho, try to move just your arms to the mags, your doing what a friend of mine does, who shoots L-10, and SS, he was finetill he started shooting SS, andthen he started to lean to the gunhand to go for a mag, moving magwell makes for muffed reloads(in his case) also try startingfrom a last shot fired ie. weighted mag in the gun, hitthe release and go the the next mag, and as was also posted, dont just do the front mag, you shoot SS, so work your way aroundthe whole belt...

Taildraggerdave Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Are the mags full? I couldn't tell from the video. They don't seat as easily topped off with the slide forward. I'll drop one with a round or 2 in it but reload with a topped off mag with some dummies inside. Take care, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I have noticed the slight lean toward the gun when reaching for the mag and of course this does not exist when I'm shooting Limited. It is really tough not to do it when you go hard for the mag and I hesitated to try to change it figuring it was natural given the mag position. However I will address it again tomorrow. BTW, the second video does the weighted mag thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mag I'm dropping in the second video is void of spring and follower but is weighted to simulate a full mag. I mostly use it for my other dry fire drills to simulate the feel of a loaded gun.
