Tried working on Bill drills last week.

Seemed like 15 yards is sort of a magical distance. Closer and you aren't forced into enough front sight and trigger discipline, farther and you aren't working at normal match shooting speed. Shot USPSA Saturday and Sunday & it seemed like the practice was helpful. Did a lot of really stupid stuff as always, but when I wasn't doing stupid or rushing too fast or both it just seemed like the 15 yard drills were good for the mojo. It is hard for me to get 6 down zeros at decent speed, so maybe that helps keep a good focus during practice?

Other thing, Boss Hoss & Boss Hoss's Boss helped me understand that right handed shooters are better off turning to the right on a facing up range start. It is about not waiting for the gun to make the long arc before you can start to draw. Good stuff I thought.

the Turn and Draw thing is a bit of a puzzle. I turn to my left to let air and my movement help keep my vest out of the way so I wonder if that movement is sport specific or if there is any advantage. TTL is a shorter trip for the gun but you're sweeping something out of the way and then turning back into it. TTR makes for a longer trip but your hip & holster should be ahead of your cover when you make that move.

And I tend to work on William Drills.... I don't know him well enough to call him Bill...

Right - faster.

Left - People who just want to be swishy

(IMHO)

What about swooshy? Is that faster than swishy?

I prefer "Guillaume Fontaine de la Tour D'Haute Rive" drills, personally. :P

Twerky seems to work for shooting steels.

Eye bleach will need to be handed out if you try to demonstrate for us.

He probably doesn't do it as much as he used to... when he had his old bologna-skin sneakers on, he looked like Miley Cirus out there twerking like a fiend!

I can hear the questions now, check the wording of Stage 9 procedure closely.

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm not seeing it. Something to do with shotguns?

I assume the last target is a swinger (denoted with double arrows), as it legally can't be a disappearing target?

"Standing at P1, facing down-range , holding a shotgun load with two rounds with both hands."

There will be a "loaner" weapon on the course that you use for two shots and :"discard" into a blanket lined barrel. Please use it if it were your own and do not throw it on the ground.

 

[Grelber]

I can either do one or the other.
