Ok, so I know this is going to get brutal, but without being willing to put it out there I know ill be missing out on getting better. It's been a while since I have been able to shoot, and haven't been doing my dry fire practice like I should, but I got a chance to do some shooting this weekend. Due to being out of sorts with my dry fire, I didnt feel comfortable pushing my draw speed, so i know I could loose half a second there, and hope to have it shaved soon. My reload is abysmal, haven't practiced it ever really as I never carry a reload, but for tacticoolin I plan to work on it. I also am seeing now that I am leaning back as I shoot my last 4, I defiantly plan on addressing that.
I messed with my grip alittle later in the afternoon and found that by rotating my front hand WAY past what I normally do I was able to keep my splits tighter, similar to how Frank Proctor seems to grip.
So here are the main problems I see:
1. I need to make sure to put my weight forward on my feet, as opposed to back on my heels
2. Get reload under control, and up in my work space, as opposed to down low
(I know I can run faster if I hit the slide stop, but I'm still hesitant to incorporate "fine motor skills"
In case folks aren't familiar, the F.A.S.T drill is draw, two on an index 3"x5" index card, reload, four on a pie plate at 7 yards.
Times:
1st shot 2.16
2nd .67
3rd 3.58
4th .48
5th .33
6th .29
I was pretty happy with the time that it I ended up with, but watching I KNOW the reload is embarrisingly slow, and my posture is really sloppy. Well... Lets have it
