Riley Carry Gun Match 8-12-2023

[downrange72]

This was my first match and it definitely got me hooked. Lots of great people and lots of good takeaways. Lol thanks for not counting those misses on the 6 steel targets!

Steel at that distance amplifies our issues with grip and especially trigger press

It's hard to press the trigger and not manipulate the gun

I like humbling people when they say I "had to find my hold at that distance"

At the distances we're shooting, bullet trajectory is minimal

It's usually grip and more so trigger press. (Grip can be a luxury sometimes, watch video on Jerry Miculek holding the gun upside down and firing with his little finger

I know I have a problem yanking the trigger. Thought I trained it out with dry fire drills these past few weeks, but time stress brought it back out I guess. I feel like I've got a weak grip, but that seems to impact the second shots rather than the first. All in all, I've got a list of things to work on and a few videos I need to rewatch!

I apparently sucked at everything but the swinger stage.


I can hear Coach’s voice reminding me “you can’t miss fast enough to win”.

Yep

He used to tell me after I'd mess a stage up, "I knew you'd do that"

Now I can predict who will screw stuff up when we design stages lol. This time it wasn't directed at you lol

I know Stephen Brannan from ProTeq took some video. I'll see if I can find it and post it here

Anyone curious, this is an example of one of our matches. Usually around 70-80 rounds
