What is going to be different?

[mongo404]

I am thinking about buying a pair of cleats.

Im going to stick to the 6" boots less wear and tear on the ankles. Specially with some of the clubs having the larger rock. I tried tennis shoes and low hiking boots. Not so good for my size.

As you increase your visual awareness and are seeing what you need to see there will be times when your brain/subconscious will know when to fire a make up shot because it didn't feel right/look right when you did it.
Just let that happen.

I occasionally will make an Alpha up with an Alpha. It doesn't feel right or I wasn't sure of what I just saw. I have to break myself of looking at targets before leaving a position then making them up.

My first match at silver creek was a little irritating becaus my lack of practice. One thing is for sure, I was shooting a lot of alphas that could be covered with one paster. Obviously seeing the sights but moving at a turtle pace. I did have 3 mikes, swinger, classifier, and no shoot. I made up the no shoot in the wrong target. I called it, kept shooting and went back to the wrong target (mental lapse)

Past two weeks have done nothing due to issues in my personal life.. Prior to that was practicing and/live fire at least every other day. My results at FNS have improved dramatically, but haven't had time lately to get to practice my USPSA stuff

I also lost 30 pounds, so that's good I suppose..

Everything cool?
30 pounds.....yeah me, not so much

Jake I think he lost it and we found it

Do you care?

I asked

 

[mongo404]

NO

 

[riverman67]

NO

Didn't think so

Well with me being back on 8hr days I have practiced here at home so far, just haven't been able to get out and actually see results yet. I did put new optic rods on front sights, think I am suppose to use these things....LOL

I plan on getting a higher card than last year!

 

[sbcman]

What will be different this year?

I'm really striving to move from all mikes to deltas- possibly a charlie mixed in on good days.

 

[Coach]

I was not really considering cleats for club matches with the exception of Warsaw. But SS nats and Area 5 and maybe Ohio and Indiana State matches.

What's going to be different?
I'm getting physical therapy twice a week on my elbow. I don't know if it's going to help but it has the side benefit of making it so damn sore I hesitate to do much dryfiring. I should have got it fixed last fall but I thought maybe laying off for a couple months would allow it to heal. Not.
On top of that, I did something to my knee which has got me hobbling around for the last 3 weeks.
So, I'm going to be old and infirm again.

But I gotta shiny new gun to play with.

So, I'll grit my teeth and get after it.

Ahhh things have been better Jake. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel

It depends on which Warsaw bay you are talking about

I am thinking for FW, I am going to pay someone to follow behind me carrying a sun shade of sorts...

sturdy lawn cart + cheap beach umbrella is a good substitute for hired help (unless your hired help is a local 'dancer' looking for additional work to help pay her way through college... then the cart and umbrella must be very sturdy if the help is going to be swinging on it...).

As for cleats, I've found they still help w/ some traction even on the gravel/rocks. rubber cleats are a must, metal becomes VERY slippery on concrete or wood props or other range facilites.

[Coach]

The cleats things seems silly to me. A 300 pounder wearing cleats should be playing offensive/defensive line. Just about any other use is a joke.

"What's going to be different?" Coach you'll be proud to hear I now have two Amish gunsinstead of one, just in case one would break

big or little, traction is traction. sand, dew on grass, dirt, mud, whatever.
So big trucks shouldn't use snow chains?

No

That just emasculates them.

Lots of fat middle aged or older men put on cleats and call what they are doing sport. I don't really care what people think of me but I am just not really sure I am ready to make that change.
