If you want to a better competition shooter than you need to go to DVC and not a tactical shooting group. I have trained and shot many matches with Aaron. He knows the game and what it takes to excel. Not just the shooting portion, which he will get perfected for you, but the stuff that wins matches, stage break down, movement, where to save seconds, 1/2 seconds, tenths of seconds. This is what wins matches, this is what makes you a great match shooter. You want an instructor that knows this. Few do, but Aaron does and he will show you that on the shot timer.

The RTSP match is basically run just to get new shooters into the sport. It is 75%+ new shooters. Not 1 or 2 new shooter per squad like normal...almost the whole squad hasn't drawn from a holster, shot on the move, ran with a gun. The MD and ROs have enough to worry about with these new shooters that adding people on the range that aren't shooting is going to make our jobs more difficult and slow down the match. If the MD and ROs have asked to have only shooters on the range, then that is the way it is going to be..no discussion. Charlie Mike attitude isn't preventing new shooters from joining in, his actions at the match are insuring new shooters at the match have a safe, fun match and return for the next one. I understand his frustration when people that were not at the match as saying otherwise

Didn't know you were the match director now.

Space is very tight at the range. There may not be room inside the actual range to watch. You could watch thru the windows

I don't see any of your times in this thread, nor a request for mine. But here they are. my bill drill are under 2s and my el prez are under 5s I found a video of you shooting and your uspsa #, so I have a good idea of your skill now

Fudd will vote against 2A, Tactitard will vote for 2A

So if you put 5 rounds in a gun, tell me to do a bill drill, I have 5 nicely grouped As and on the six shot the gun goes click and it moves, you say I have a flinch? My question about splits, bill drills and el prez times were directed solely at you Smokin 50. You don't seem to grasp the basic concept of post ignition push. so me asking what your times are, is to see if you are a skill level were post ignition push would be useful

That because you were flinching (pre ignition push) which caused bad shots. Post ignition push will not cause bad shots, but looks the same when the gun goes click

Competitions are very inefficient way to train. Maybe take some defense classes

Techniques, sure. grip the shit out of the gun, drive the gun out, none of that push / pull crap. Make sure the sights return immediately to point of aim, fine tune your grip until they do. This is the most important aspect for shooting fast and accurate. The front sight must return to point of aim. For drills. there are none that will help you learn to shoot fast and accurate, if you are not allowed to do so. , Shooting slow won't, dry firing won't. So join a range that will allow you to shoot the way you need to. it is the only way to learn. From actual drills. Dot torture mentioned above is the best drill for this. Bill drills are excellent too The whole snake eyes thing is meaning less without splits, what are your splits, bill drill times, el prez times?

Have you ever worked with a shooter that has a post ignition push? NRA qualifications have zero need for recoil control, (6 shots in 10 seconds), nor does shooting clays at 50 yards. Defensive shooting does. When you start shooting fast, you need to drive the gun, that is done with post ignition push

The dummy round drill can not differentiate a pre ignition push from a post ignition push. Both will look like a flinch, one is not I don't see how a striker fire gun complicates anything. Keep the sights on target until the shot breaks

Just because the gun moves when it goes click, doesn't mean you are flinching. The target will tell you that. Not the movement of the gun

They do get a little into that, at least they did in my class a while back, but nothing much. Best way to learn how to design stages is design some, send them to someone that has been doing it for a while, get some feedback, then send them into the matches, helping build stages is also a great way to learn.

The USPSA Ro class isn't going to make you a better shooter at uspsa. It might give you a better understanding of the safety rules, but that is something you should know even if you aren't a RO. That said, there really isn't a reason to not take the class
