Good news!...I consistently shot .10 spits tonight!
Bad news....rapid fire 22 round mag dump with .10 splits in A zone gets you kicked out of Indy Trading Post!
funny ****!
Lmao. So this gives me an idea. We should get a bunch of uspsa shooters down at atterbury and have a pistol "mad minute". On the line with mag dumps for a solid minute. Frank's head would explode!!!
Ha ha, nice. I've hit 10s before, 09 once or twice, but couldnt run a string of 10s for sure. 12s maybe. was once told at an indoor range in MD, "we don't allow machine guns here." Haha.
Got a range officer huffy when I asked why I was getting picked on when my "rapid fire" group was a fraction the size of the guy in the next stall who was carefully aiming each shot... shouldn't he be the one getting *****ed at for being 'out of control'? Haha..

I don't think I've ever seen anything faster than a .13 or .14. Which is bewildering to me because I have pretty fast hands.
What do you focus on when trying to get fast splits? Pulling fast or pulling short or anything but pulling the trigger?
RVB can probably tell you...I think he mentioned his trick was playing the piano his whole life? I know an awesome trigger helps.
I've gone below 0.10 second splits for about half of a magazine with a factory stock Kimber Target Custom .38 super a few years ago. I had a couple of splits that were 0.07 seconds that were not echoes. I posted about it on the Enos forums back then, so you could probably find the list of the splits if you go there and search.
Now, I missed the target on all but the first shot, but I had a lot of brass in the air at one time. Making a gun cycle fast is not even close to shooting fast shots. The latter requires keeping the gun aligned with the target through the whole process. I was just seeing how fast I could empty the gun.
The key is relaxing everything but what needs to be flexed at the time you press you the trigger and have a trigger with a really short reset so you don't waste any motion. You also have to have a neuromuscular system that will make your finger move that fast.
shooting at at high speed is the real goal. Add in transitions for real fun... Set up 3 targets, maybe a yd between each, two rds per target and try to keep all th splits under .13, and yes, go for As.... That's FUN.
