Isn't labeling the ear muffs tactically unsound? Actually labeling your gear is probably the most tactical thing you can do. When you're rubbing elbows with fellow killers, who often use the same awesome gear you do, your gear can get mixed up. That's why CLEARLY labeling ALL your gear is important. http://i39.tinypic.com/etd3l0.jpg Link to Ebay auction? |

I've taken handgun 1 with Costa. I guess I must have been shooting 6' groups at the 3 yd line. All this time I could have swore I was at the 25 line. Silly me, I'm sure you know better though since you're the shooting guru. When can I take your handgun class? I'd love to learn how to shoot people from a real killer.

Obviously someone who hasn't bothered to train with him.[roleeyes] Quoted:
Costa's Loooonnggg Grip is hard on the body. Reaching your support arm out there puts EXTREME strain on tendons and ligaments. It is a small price to pay to shave fractions of a second off your time at the 3 yard line. W Did you even read Costa's article with the announcement? “Pain is a distraction, and you absolutely can’t allow it to affect your focus,” says Costa. “You can apply RockTape yourself and it stays on through intense physical activity. You’re not bothered by muscle pain or soreness – you don’t even think about it anymore.”
Please post pictures of yourself covered in Tactical 5.11 RockTape. |

Funny all the shit talkers do nothing but that, instead of proving why the techniques they bash are inferior. at least when you attend these instructors "shill" classes they will explain and demo to you why the techniques works based on science and mechanics.

Funny thing is, in some styles of shooting competition some forms of support or brace (like ace bandage wraps) are not legal for competition due to being an unfair advantage.

I moved to an intelligent middle grip when I realized that I couldn't maintain muscle memory in all standard positions and it was exhausting if you ever had to keep your weapon up to scan or for other reasons. Is the long grip faster? Sure, but tactical training is not much more than fantasy camp if it doesn't immediately address some of the more glaring tactical deficiencies. I'm not judging, by all means go and have fun. I still LOL when people post up pics of them all tacticooled out and dumping their fourth mag after they had SLOWLY walked toward a target, shooting it as they went. Because that's totally gonna win a real world gun fight. |

Anyone who has gone up against a shot timer knows this. The shot timer doesn't lie. What? You hit your target? Nobody cares. We want speed first, the accuracy will come later. If you can't maintain the long grip position, it's because you're not using enough tape to support your body. Long grip is EXTREME and requires tape for artificial support. |
