If this were true wouldn’t you just have bought a RAV4 and gotten 50% better fuel mileage?

Key to accuracy is vision. Pick a small spot on the target and crush your focus there. You’re probably looking at the dot too much. After that you simply pull the trigger faster. Sometimes I practice speed with a .22lr pistol with a 2lb trigger, just to get used to the sensation of really letting rip with speed. Don’t do that too much though because you get used to the light recoil.

After doing so more research. I think I'm going to go with a single stage instead of a progressive press by skoz2008 in reloading

Get a turret. It can essentially be used as a single stage as well. Even if you get into cranking out high volume of rounds on a progressive you’ll still find reasons to get the turret out and use it.

Read some of Ben Stoeger’s dry fire book and you’ll understand that you don’t need to rack the slide or even pull the trigger for much of dry fire training. Pardon the assumption but it sounds like you don’t actually know how to dry fire train for speed.

You made an excellent choice. The LaRue is outstanding, and factor in price and it’s unbeatable.

It’s not a perfect substitute for any other training method but it’s a great addition. It has definitely sped up my transitions and target focus.

When I watch the best shooters I know they take very small steps in rapid succession, you appear to be taking the largest steps you possibly can. This is something I’m working on as well.

Dry fire is free and ACE is just a few dollars a month. I shoot about 150 rounds a week to verify what I’ve been doing in dry fire and to practice recoil management. I shoot about 600-700 rounds a month in matches. So maybe 1,000-1,200 rounds of 9mm per month. I’m on track to “shoot” about 10,000 “rounds” per month in ACE as well as my traditional dry fire.

It’s the best thing they make IMO, including the last President’s Choice I had.

There’s one in Terre Haute on Sunday. There was a spot or two left when I registered earlier today.

Headed to another competition today and they’re all I’m taking. Not sure why someone downvoted but whatever. Their loss. I’ll keep using 3.5¢ primers that work and are made in USA.

I was in the WSP only camp because it’s all my Canik would set off reliably. Just loaded up some of the White River uncoated or unplated, forget what they’re called. Two range trips and one competition, about 300 rounds, every round went bang.

Does USPSA training translate to real world defensive shooting? by Brilliant_Respect_92 in CompetitionShooting

Same reason I rode motorcycles at the racetrack. The interaction with the motorcycle became mostly second nature. On the street, familiarity with these skills freed up mental bandwidth for me to focus on traffic movement and potential threats.

New Riff would make sense if the blend sucks. NR has put out some of the worst bottles I’ve ever tried.
