Triple Nickel

[ToddG]

Trying JJ Racaza's version of this drill with three shots per target instead of the regular two:

Can you hear the buzzer go off while you're shooting? Yes you can, Virginia. Yes you can. Dammit.

[JDM]

Your reaction was pretty funny Todd. I lol'd.

[TCinVA]

Ah...the fun we have.

I stuck with the 2 shot per target version...but I can never do the math right. On one of the runs I intended to shoot 4 targets with 2 shots and then swap mags and finish...only I miscounted and forgot a round on the 4th target. I realized this as I had begun to go for the reload.

Now most people would have simply done the reload and picked up the extra shot before moving on. I, however, am special...so I continued going for the mag with the left hand and fired the makeup shot one handed. Not deliberately, mind you...more as a function of my brain realizing it had two tasks to complete and not realizing one at a time would probably be better. Scored a hit, though!

...but overall I wouldn't recommend it. :p

This is a good type of fail, Todd. My assumption that this is just a second time you're running this version, with 0.07 improvement and no misses as compared to the first attempt. Now, 0.07 faster, and it is in history books.

[ToddG]

Unfortunately, no. It was my fourth attempt of the day.

First was a 5.52 clean.
Then a 5.60 down 1.
Then a completely fumbled reload after which I cussed a lot and the time was pretty meaningless... I don't think we got it on the video.

[YVK]

Second, fifth, who cares, you're just one tenth of a second away.

The SecondsCount family Likes this video. :cool:

Cool, was watching this on my iPad, my five year old asked "what did he say?" Hillarious!

I'll settle for a sub 5, clean, run of the normal 2 per target drill.

[zRxz]

u mad?

[joshs]

I think this was my best run of the 3 shot version.

My best TN of the day, going just a little too fast...

I had a 4.93 (-2), but we didn't get that on video. This is a 5.22 (-1), I had a pretty big lag to figure out I was at slide lock.

This was my worst run, but I think the camera angle is pretty cool.

I am trying to find a way to put the audio as my ringtone. That just makes me laugh every time I watch it.

It's oddly hypnotic isn't it?

I finally shot the Triple Nickel. Apparently, I'm a bad person for not having shot it sooner. I had a total of four runs, of which I got two on video. 3 out of 4 runs were clean, but of course I managed to get the 5.04 run with a mike on video. I did get a clean one on camera as well. The audio blows because indoor ranges are terrible places to take video.

I shot the triple nickel twice on Sunday.

5.6x -1 and 5.74 -1. Both failed because of bobbled reloads.

Edit: standard 2 shot version.

[jetfire]

Sticking the reload is pretty key it seems; my one 5.04 had a bobbled reload and the miss was the first shot coming in after the reload.
