Exactly how I feel... although I will always watch the Daytona 500.

 

I was surprised I missed twice too.... it was about 10-12 ft I think. I couldn't seem to get the 14....

I went first for the 99 and got it.... then I went for the 18 and got the 22... then I went for the 14 and missed. I reloaded and went for the 14 again... missed again. When I reloaded and went for the 18, I got it....

Destiny and poor skill kept me from getting Tony Stewart....

 

Does any of this redeem my shooting reputation?



I had hit the top right target earlier.... one 13 round mag. I just can't seem to handle the pressure of a camera!





The reasoning for teh suit is that I had just got back from a day of teaching Reconstruction at the high school... didn't bother changing clothes. do'nt know what that is on my lapel.



So far as my shooting goes... I justify myself this way. I said I was going to go for the 14, 99, and the 18. I got the 18 and the 99. 2 out of the three. The circles were about the size of quarters. I was man enough to post a video of me not doing too good. I could have kept redoing it until I got it right, but I did it once and was done.


And, as also stated in the video. I just got the gun a week ago.


Here is the plate with a quarter for reference.

 

I think you need to be more relaxed while shooting, your arms seem to be extended a little to far out. Relax, get loose and let er rip man........

 

So is it kind of like when you first start driving and you hold your arms too stiff? im actually doing some hand gun training in the morning

 

Something like that, a class is a good way to start!

 

Actually Duane:

If by chance you have the occasion to have to use it....

First and foremost, Never stand directly faceing your opponent...

Always always be standing left foot forward...right foot almost directly behind the left... In other words stand almost sideways... The smaller the target you are the less likely your gonna get hit by the opponent/offender.

Your extending your arms way to far in front of you.... always keep your elbows somewhat bent.. (relaxed) position.
Standing sideways will also help you to not over extend...

Lastly....

The grip with both hands is somewhat correct...
As your left hand is gripping around and under the trigger guard..., Its almost like a golfers grip (not necessarily little finger thumb interlock) If you can get comfortable interlocking a cpl fingers (left with the right)...

Youll find when you squeeze the trigger.(you wont be pulling downward on the trigger when you squeeze 1 off).. in other words,you wont be shooting in a downward pattern.... In that hand hold, grip position....It locks your wrist and it lessens the recoil effect to allow you to stay more in position to your previous shot....
Like allowing your fingers(left hand) to fit in the postion between the knuckles on your right hand In other words left over right to the spaces between the knuckles...

I hope thats not to confuseing...

Actually the first video on your second post useing the 9....
You had a decent area grouping....

I think my advise should zero you in..shooting a much tigter pattern and a closer grouping!

PS:
I learned this from a friend whos a professional target shooter...

 

I was taught the "crossed thumbs" way on a full seze s&w and that jyst doesnt work too well on a subcimpact. I wasnt exactly sideways but i did have one foot forward and my feet pointing at the targer. i hope i will be better tomorrow afternoon!

 

Try it like I explained:

The crossed thumbs...IMO... still doesnt lock the wrists to alleviate the downward result on the trigger pull...

If anything with the smaller size firearm....
Should make it easier to almost interlock the fingers or between knuckle grip... I explained.... It may take a few rounds to get comfortable with that style of grip... But I expect it shouldnt take very many to start to see your results improve with much tighter patterns/groupings.

Hope it helps Duane!
Am I the only one watching cups 2nd practice?
