What is going to be different?

[Coach]

Just posting on enos will raise your scores by 10%, giving advice on enos 15% increase, giving advice on things you don't do 20%......

Wasting time on here will get you a 10% decrease

I have been on Enos all morning. Top poster of the day so far. I will probably move up a class now.

If you read Enos and believe it that whole group over there has not shot a Charlie in months and I am talking combined.

Haha... yea... I think "accuracy first, then speed" is the right mindset on match day. And -sometimes- it's the right mindset on the practice range. But sometimes, you gotta get the car a little sideways in the corners.... if nothing else, cause it's FUN!

agree.

and it's not always about speed, it's often about consistency. You may not be cutting a lot of time off your live-fire reloads, but if you are ALWAYS hitting your shot to shot time, that's MUCH better than fumbling or taking an extra second or two that shouldn't be there some fraction of the time.

We're dealing in tenths of seconds here. Progress is slow. And the better you get, the harder it is to shave off more thenths.

Also look at HOW you practice. Different people are going to improve in different ways. Me, I need to crash and burn. It's probably a good thing I'm not a race car driver cause I would probably have an intimate relationship with the walls. I've run drills with a pure speed focus, ignoring the sights, just to see how it felt... and then looked at the targets and only had half the shots on paper, then I'll try to run the same pace with with a sight focus, and then go for As, then try set a dryfire par that gets me that 'feeling', the dryfire it till it's all As comfortably... and that's my loop. Some people that wrecks them cause all they learn is to "feel fast and sling lead." ... So experiment around with HOW you practice to see if there is a better way than just slowly inching the pars down...

The trend these days (especially on Enos) is the mantra that all As are needed all the time.... For me, in practice, I have to push my comfort zone at the expense of missing some shots, and then bear down and work for As in that new zone...

As far as transfering dryfire to livefire, I think that may show more live fire is needed. I'm seeing that lately as last year my practice was 100% dryfire. I think subconsciously I'm becoming hesitant w/ live ammo... So to tie this in to what I'm doing different this year, is I am hoping to average once a month on a practice range to incorporate lessons from dryfire... since I'm running a new gun, I think this is especially important...

I am pretty much following the outline in Andersons book.I am using a new production gun and have limited range time with it,about 500 rounds so far.Maybe as the round count increases the difference between the dryfire and live fire times will decrease.

You keep following that book and you will end up bringing your dog to a match.

So help me if I see a dog tied to a safe table or registration table I am getting DQ'ed.

you are looking at this the wrong way

not the dog's fault, but the owner, now he needs to be beat with in an inch of his life, and if that is not done before you sign in I don't think you can get dq'd

Win Win

Hang on now. Who ever does it has to handle their weapon under the direct supervision of the RO (hehe). So does that count as a moving target?

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about the guy!

What's Different This Year:

I was looking through a box full of old stuff. Contained within was a copy of the aforementioned dryfire manual ... unread. I returned it to the box, where it shall rest for eternity.

So, last year I didn't even touch the manual. This year I did. That's different.

It is akin to masturbation....without the happy ending
