She probably has a kilt on.

OK, I'll admit her outfit is just a tad sexier than mine.

Bonus question: Does a stock 1911 in .45 ACP fall into ESP or CDP category?

 

[BoltThrower]

I saw you there! I've watched my footage a couple times, I tried to get views of each target as well, to get an idea of where I hit. I've picked up a couple things from this footage so far,

#1 angle my camera down some.
#2 don't lower the gun when reloading.
#3 On follow up shots I'm taking to clear ammo out to increase 0down odds and eliminate tactical reloads, shoot faster.
#4 need to work on speed of draw, sight picture/target aquisition, and reloads
#5 transitioning between targets, I tended to pass and return to the target.

 

[BoltThrower]

What camera setup were you using?

I was using a gen1 gopro on a clip attachment clipped to the strap of a backwards baseball hat.

 

[BoltThrower]

what are you trying to improve? Score or techniques? Also, 45 app = cdp for division.

My only goal is to improve technique with what I normally carry. I'm not overly concerned about score.

 

[BoltThrower]

BAAAH ! Wrong Mike, a 1911 .45 can shoot CDP OR ESP ! Also the camera jockey will stop unloading like that the first time a primer hits the ejector and blows a finger off. Also, per Atlanta club rules pointing a gun over the berm is a definite no-no.

How uplifting. How should I unload?

 

[BoltThrower]

Thanks Mr. Oakes!

Risk tolerance, whether you are talking shooting, or racing, or high school football, or 1000 other pastimes, or work activities, is a great big bag o worms.

Incredible! There is someone else alive who understands the gray areas of life instead of using emotional pleas utilizing worst case scenarios constantly.

Grelber, you've commented with much distinction, we owe you a debt of gratitude.
