Hate do it....

....But I have to catch up...

Where I left off
5-30-2009
Same routine but strange. It has been months with only live fire on weds and matches to improve.
Sa2 par .9 did 1.1 down to .8 and was feeling sloppy
Sa3 par .9 1.1 down to .9
Sa7 par .7 start at .9 down to.6 5 reps each
Sa10 par 5.9 down to 5.7 need work
Sa11 par 5.8 down to 5.6
Sa12 par 6.0 down to 5.7 sloppy
Sa15 par 3.0 down to 2.8 sloppy
Sa17 par 1.0

Sloppy messy need to not feel rushed and get back into this….

6-28-2009

Match placed 10th of 24 peops last in 4 open shooters
Had a mike or more on all but one of 7 stages.. this kills my points bad.
Really need to rededicate or give it up and shoot production.


7-1-2009
Practice
As I asked jay was hard on me.
I was surprised though as he reverted back to my stance.. square one…
I knew all the correct things but he was right I was not doing it.


7-4-2009 10:55 am
Need to do two a days m-w this week.. DO IT!

Warm up
10min or so. Reorganized gear a little..
Sa7 par .7 10 reps each .7-.5
Sa8 par 5.5 down to 5.3 and pushed it hard on all
Sa10 par 5.5 did some beginning and ending no par time. (5.5-5.3)
Sa11 par 5.8 just started doing partial trigger resets..not full 5.8 down to 5.6 trigger messing me all up
sa12 5.8 down to 5.6
Enter box shooting drill 25 rep or so
60 sec box drill, 1st string worked hard on trigger reset and smooth legs
2nd string slower more deliberate a’s still worked on trigger reset.
Added in sa15 to work on trigger…did about 15 reps

7-5-2009
Live fire 300 rounds
Goal: transitions/draws
Jay had me working on basics again so I figured this would be basic. I had stopped working as much on draws and Jay mentioned to Ledge about .2 is a huge thing. So live fire… 1.5 seems to be par. Not good for an open shooter (at least 1.0 max) I can hit 1.3 or so sometimes but have to push it and miss. I did this for about 200 rounds. Then worked on transitions two targets two shots reload two shots. I really really focused on trigger reset. This needs to be the main focus in live fire because this cannot be felt in dryfire. All in all very good session but need a lot more live fire…

I did 5 min warm up. Reloads, surrender and hands at sides draws.
Sa 7 Par is .7. I started at .7 on timer and worked down to .5 performing 10 reps each. I pushed .5 very hard and it felt very good.
Sa 8 Par is 5.5. I started at 5.5 and worked down to 5.2 doing 5 reps each. Even 5.2 was good. Really focused on transitions and trigger simulated reset only.
Sa 10 “El Prez” my par is 5.5. I did some warm ups and started at 5.5. I felt sloppy down to 5.3 which I had to really focus on.
Sa 11 “Strong Hand” my par is 5.8. I started at 5.8 and worked down to 5.5 performing 5 reps each. Last string was tough and got the arms burning.
Sa 12 “Weak Hand” par is 6.0. I started at 6.0 and worked down to 5.7 doing 5 reps a string. It was very messy. I am starting to feel arm fatigue.
60 sec box drill. First rep I did with the focus on trigger reset and 70-30 grip. Second rep I did the opposite direction around box with the same focus.
Last drill I finished with is shooting entering the box. I did 50 reps. This felt good. I paid attention to shooting off foot feel ( make any sense?).

Target array- I use three mini-uspsa targets setup evenly spaced at 15ft. I added in a no shoot to the middle target covering the left side up to the a box.


I start with a 5-10 minute warm up. I always try to focus on mechanics. I perform surrender draws, standard draws, reloads, and up-range draws. I don’t use the timer or pay attention to time. I really focus on good form, seeing the dot, and feel some blood flow to arms.

Sa 7 par is .7. I worked from .7 down to .5 and .5 was hard.
Sa 8 par is 5.5. I worked from 5.5 down to 5.3 and I was out of focus for awhile but came out of it near the end. Then it felt good!
Sa 10 par 5.5. I worked from 5.5 down to 5.3. I had very poor focus.
Sa11 par is 5.8. I worked from 5.8 down to 5.6 and maintained good focus throughout.
Sa 12 par is 6.0 I worked from 6.0 down to 5.8 and it was difficult but focus remained.
Box drill first string was ok arms got a little burn going. Second string had some trigger issue’s need to not let it break.
Step into box drill. Did 50 reps and near the end it was feeling good. Arms are burning and I felt good ending strong.
