As I mentioned elsewhere, had the "carry gun" match yesterday with interesting results. It is now a week of hard work leading up to the Indiana State match this weekend. Tonight was fundamentals getting back with my current main match and carry gun.
Started with Double Add 1 on B8 because again I forgot my 3X5. Dropped 2 points for a 98. One of the dropped points was an ED (early discharge) from a little too much prep.
Next up was doubles on demand at 7 and although my times were good I was a little sloppy. Grip, grip, grip.
On to trigger control at speed again at 7. I ran from .14 to .23 on my reaction times and at one point put 3 rounds in the same hole.
Moving on to 5 shot reactive drills and found myself not giving the proper focus to one spot on the target. I used the head for this and put a couple outside the down one. That is a no go at 7 yards shooting as fast as the dot returns with minimal visual confirmation.
While I was there I shot 2 runs of the Rangemaster Oct. DOM. Run number 1 was a clean 3.67 with number 2 being a 3.11 but no good as I dropped 1.
I finished up with a Mason Lane drill of 2 shots in 2 seconds at 25 from the draw. I have to say for me that is not easy. You have to draw fast and get good sight confirmation and 2 good trigger presses. The tight par time really helps simulate match speed and stress for me. I did throw a -3 over 3 runs. (Was running low on ammo.)
Ignore the writing as it is the target I used for the RM drill. The -3 is hiding up in the writing though.
