It is hardly a big hurdle to either have it pinned, or to cut off the arm on the grip safety to deactivate it.
How fast is this target moving and at what distance?
I am assuming that you are talking about pistols here, and unless the target is moving extremely fast or at very long distance, the need to...
When you use the term "rythm", are you in reality talking about splits?
Just trying to understand context.
I didn't actually see this post:
You are making pretty absolute statements here.
Again you claim something, that members of your premier military HR unit in says is not an issue. Are they...
Scott is a buddy.
I suggest people watch this:

Two legit US SOF Shooters talk about how competition has helped their community.
There is a significant distinct difference between competition and gunfights as well, namely that during one of them, people are shooting back at you.
But you are saying that because one shoots...
No one is getting super defensive, I am countering your argument. Isn't that what a discussion is about? Isn't that the whole point of a forum like this?
You are making an assertion that I disagree...
And as I am trying to explain to you, that has nothing to do with competition skills giving you "training scars", it has to do with being poorly trained for self-defense.
Walls, barrels etc are vision barriers, forcing you to move to engage targets.
You are not required to limit exposure to targets that you are engaging.
You are in no way measured on correct use of cover to protect yourself from incoming fire, be when engaging targets or during movement.
You have vision barriers that block targets from being...
Again, there is no correlation between proper tactics and a USPSA stage.
You are arguing a point no one has made - no one is saying that shooting IPSC/USPSA is good training for self defense or...
But your examples are poor.
As I said, there is no cover in competition, so why bring it up? Shooting an IPSC/USPSA stage is not a military battle drill. Nor is it training for the same. If...
A stage in IPSC or USPSA is not a scenario, it is a shooting drill. You are, most of the time, allowed to make a plan and shoot the stage to the best of your ability.
The resulting Hit Factor on the...
I think you are overthinking it.
A group is the number of shots fired in a single string. There is, however, no time limit to shoot a group, so it is perfectly fine to lower the gun, rest your...
As they say, splits are for Youtube/The 'Gram, transitions are for titles.
The main objective in practical shooting is to reduce time not spent shooting, as that costs you points. The key to this...
Recent IPSC match I shot, finished 1st in Standard:

Thanks!

Do you have any video of you shooting?
The key to getting better times isn't faster splits, it's about shooting sooner.
That means to get in to a shooting position READY to shoot, and out of...
I shot a local club match yesterday, and finished 1st in Production. Shot my Beretta 92A1, which is basically stock (D spring, oversize mag release and Hogue grips).
Stage 1:...
A bit late to the party, but this is a topic that interests me quite a bit.
First off, some context for my position - served on active duty in the Norwegian mil for 11 years, infantry and...

It's not so much vertical stringing as it is a "big group", in my opinion.
I agree with ASH556 in that you are probably not focusing hard enough on the front sight, and as such you are getting a...
