How do you practice for IDPA?

If your feelings are hurt Dave, because I don't like your shirt or your attitude, tough. You started this by calling me out and I won't back down here or in person. This started in public and as far as I am concerned it is finished in public. I am entitled to my opinion and I have stated it.

Gary- thread 18 started this mess, not me. You deleted offensive comments (and left some still) that were not called for so don't put this on me. You were the one that posted several unnecessary and derogatory comments- indeed you have the right to do so. We both have strong opinions for sure. Again I will state that my post(s) on the WoS thread was a direct response to someone that posted about the scheduling conflict with WoS and NER.
 
dummy rounds

The only part I disagree with is unloaded mag, using full weigh dummy rounds definitely makes a difference on how the gun reacts and tracks. same with mag changes

Mike, I'll give you that. I just prefered not having any kind of ammo around when i dry fired, just my preference but I can understand how it could help with the feel from target to target.
Good point!
 
If you don't load, get dummy rounds from Brownells. They have blackend cases to avoid confusion.
Should you want to practice shotgun loading, definately get the dummies from Brownells. I've been using those for a couple years, and the crimps are still good.

I think it might depend somewhat on the gun. I suspect a Glock might handle differently whether the magazine is loaded or not, but I doubt that my S&W Model 66 feels differently whether loaded or not - 6 38 spcl rounds just aren't that heavy compared.

I bet you don't practice reloads with empty speedloaders though. [wink]

Yeah I'm sure it does. When I'm shooting my Glock- sometimes I can feel the difference in the feel of the gun when it's 10+1 vs 1+1. That being said I practice reloads with empty mags usually- only because my biggest thing is getting a good index on the mags from my belt and inserting the mag smoothly into the gun. Maybe some dummy rounds would be more realistic and enhance this practice.
 
I have been quiet for a while...........

Come on Dave, don't be a whimp!,
(You can Stand Up & Act like a MAN!) I think that is from the Godfather.


afterall, your not running for office! I hope, cause you have no chance, (too wishywashy)
anyway, Gary is pretty tough, and can take it!
No need to make excuses......
(but, please get that M1911 out from under your skirt..........[rofl])

As for Supermoto entering an IDPA thread, [crying] WTF?, [shocked],
It may be like a man is prison,
He has been on that island so long, it could be an (IDPA COURSE) is starting to look good! [kiss]

Well from my vantage point:
clearly:
I meaning (HE) Don't Practice Anymore, IS TRUE, and everyone knows it, because he & his butterfinger buddy quasicopoto, quit shooting competition pistol in the NE! (the minute they could not spend long hours together in the [STRIKE=undefined]shower[/STRIKE] I mean practicing together).

AFTERALL Mike ,we are only a Ferry ride away!





Well Folks,

Appearently, no natural talent.......needs to practice alot, so sad[grenade]

Not sure of your challenges, shooting an AR at 50 yards???

"What We Do In Life Echoes In Eternity."
(I know, I borrowed it, good movie though..)
You have not done much lately & I would put my lifetime to date against yours any day!
No hair,
No haircuts,
No kids?,
no sperm........
 
You need to take some man pills yourself. [rofl]
Humm, Man pills?

Is that what M1911 takes just before your "guys" special moment?

(From your guys posts together & the love that is shared, I doubt it is moment's), he sounds like his quick on the draw, and of course I have seen you shoot (and miss a lot, but usually into a No Shoot!)

Look I USED TO think your WERE alright guy,
but I am not taking any Viagra just for you.....besides, Supermoto is much taller than you & I have a bad back!

Well that's not a fair comparison. You are in your golden years. But I'm sure the nursing home is impressed with your lifetime of achievements

You definitely got me on the hair and kids. I have neither, but what is curious is that your kids are grown up, but I saw diapers in your car.

Yep,
going to sleep now, I have to work tomorrow make MORE money, to buy MORE Brazo pistols & MORE .38 SuperCOMP brass!
(Folks without cash have to shoot used 40 brass) in limited 10,

Working is way better than bloging all day (no 5300 to 18K posts from this Psycho),
making no money & stuck with whatever it is you think you shoot well...
(rubbermaid is in aisle 17)

Master in IDPA, really? what are you in USPSA? don't be silly, Why not take up bowling....

and sadly, you no longer have quasimoto.......
pity, he was like a son, wasn't he?

and Dave,
don't break a blood vessel thinking up any comebacks, there aren't any
 
Bagged lots of groceries today & even got some carriages!


I can picture you out in the parking lot, with the rain drops bouncing off your helmet, running with your popsicle. That is awesome progress buddy. Tomorrow we'll work on expressing our emotions with big boy words and not little cartoon faces
