This is USPSA CM09-09.  A real 25 yards.  Measured.

That video is not 25 yards.

No they aren't.  

USPSA doesn't do 8" plates at 50 yards and the other stage isn't a classifier, so there are no "actual GM skills" on display there.

I've made it to within 5% of M in a year and a half and have been doing jack shit for practice for the last 6 months, so I'm just fine where I'm at and your attempt to take that away from me just stains your credibility.

It's good enough that the dot goes right where I want it during my draw. Hence I don't need to index shoot.

I've also found most people who claim to be able to instinctively point and shoot can't do it like they claim.

Can you draw and hit a dog at 15 feet running from your right to your left about to bite your child?

Can you draw and hit a gunman behind a store shelf while he is moving towards your family presenting a firearm?

Oh, you can draw and shoot and maybe hit an IPSC target somewhere in the silhouette on a range from a prepared position? Wow. I'm impressed.


How would I know, I don't practice any of that...you shooting a lot of running dog chasing your kid or you just making up scenarios you can tactically masterbate to....

What I can do is 8" at 50 yards.  I can shoot and transition multiple targets at speed and call and hit head shots at 25yard with a gun with no sights.  

Fucking tactical timmays with their story time


Point-shooting with a pistol that has no sights?

Post a video of you doing it on steel so we can all see/hear your hits.

I shot with a guy a few times who removed his sights from his competition gun for a year. He shot three matches a week, for a year, that way. His goal was to be faster. I don’t know if it worked for him or not

I'm well aware of distance perception with viewing angle.

Your far targets aren't at 25 yards, and partials are not "head boxes."

Now you just sound like my 10 year old arguing.

You didn't even show the hits.  

No, I can't shoot a gun without sights as accurately as I can with one that is equipped with em or a dot.  Why the fuck do I want to?

I was hot and heavy the first year.  

Dry fire, lots of live fire, helping at the club a ton doing setup, maintenance, etc....

Then I burned out a bit.

Now I absolutely hate dry fire.

I'm sitting close to M, and I have a match Tuesday with a classifier stage.

I'm sure my percentage will go down.

Nobody to blame but myself.

M is a choice for me.  There's zero question I can get there, and that I would be there if I kept on my practice.  That's my fault.

Perhaps Bacon is a giant and using extra large targets.

You are going to feel real foolish when his Bunyan like size is truly revealed.

Or the far targets are like 50' away. Which honestly; if you can hit that shit, at that speed, with no sights, that's great skill. Too bad you can't see what was hit.

Sure is.

Far distances are another weakness that I don't work on enough.

Problem is that our indoor range only goes to 45 feet, and when the weather is good enough for heading outdoors and setting things up at 75 or 100 feet... I get busy as fuck with work and my time availability goes down the shitter.  (I know, I know, excuses)

Lots of time and dedication is involved with becoming truly good.  It's not an easy road at all.  Props to GMs, it's a lot of work no matter how you get there.

I was still active duty and I missed every classifier match at my club with field rotations so in two years I was only able to classify twice in the first 6 months.

I won SSP almost every match, so I only paid attention to Overall and I was consistently in the top-5. I started branching out to multigun and outlaw steel-challenge-ish stuff before burnout and Army stuff got in the way.

I should buckle down and get to M, and then I can be lazy.

I could make GM as well, I've got the raw skill.. just needs polishing and refinement.. but it's a level of practice that would probably make me want to kill myself.

Then you actually NEED to use it... so just put the target in the big window that doesn't have a dot anymore and hope?

You can also just turn the brightness down to zero when you put the gun in the safe, that helps with battery life quite a bit.

Indeed.

I got really serious with USPSA for about 2 years where my schedule was an individual range day on Tuesdays, league shoot on Thursdays, and matches on Saturdays, with dry fire and/or reloading every other night.

It became more work than fun and I ended up burning myself out.

Right on. Schedules like that are good when you’re pushing but hard if not impossible to maintain long term.

I’ve come to the point that I’m pretty casual with club matches and treat them like practice for the few and far between travel matches I shoot.

I hate to admit it but the only time I really dry fire any more is if I develop an annoying hiccup I have to work through.

Yeah, I think I went a little too hard and burned out.

I've been thinking of hopping back into competition, though.

Right on. I had to go plug in my number to their lookup widget just to remember the info it puts out.

It did give my first name and last initial.

I’d be inclined to just do the screenshot with redacted info, myself.

I’ve gotten to really enjoy casual competition.

It’s enough to keep me sharp, but not too focused I can’t have fun with my friends while I’m there.
