Hey Gents-

I need to get in shape for TBRC. so going to Angeles tomorrow for practice. I'm planning on doing some 100 dots, positional and holdover drills.

Any recommendations for range exercises/drills to do in prep for the big matches?

I think Charlie likes shooting dots and jumping up/getting down in between to make sure you get on the rifle consistantly every time.

Do u have a timer. Start practicing with a timer and pushing yourself with time limits.

Shoot dot drills at 100. to late to worry about anything but that.

Yeah like isn't that match the end of this month?

yep.

I did a bunch of positional shooting today-- felt good. My dot drills sucked. Put a 1 min timer on some of drills which always adds a bit of stress.

I've got my 7D juiced and ready to roll. Are you going Steven? We need the tactical photog.

Don't worry about stress until you can clean a 10 dot drill getting up between shots.

Tempting... Your like the 2nd person to ask me to go... Let me talk to the wife, but I doubt it....

Actually the timer was less about physical stress and more about finding a rhythm for positional shooting. When I run the timer, it's easy to see if I'm running my shots too quickly or if I can take more time.

You're going Steven. I'm putting my foot down.

Today, I am doing positional dry fire practice in my back yard. Hope the neighbors keep the shades closed.

Haha. Better watch out that they dont call the cops and they come in with guns blazing

If your neighbors can see into your yard, your fence is too low.

Might be a bad idea.

It's good to know your neighbors.

I dry fire in my front yard.
My neighbor across the street nicely asked me not to point guns at his house.
Then we talked about guns.
He likes the AK, but he is originally from Russia...
He wants me to help him build an AR.

Yes that is the standard thinking. I like to push the envelope.
