Week 145: FAST

[Clobbersaurus]

I think I said on my FB page that I was still wondering about the GoPro I got last Father's Day - is it causing me to waste ammo doing fun to see stuff or incenting me to practice more things I ought to be anyway? Jury is still out.

Vid adds some stress I think.

Speaking for myself only, posting video here tends to ad more pressure to any tests or DotW's that I want to share. Wanting to do well compared to the membership here, or at least those that post in the training journals and DotW's, motivates me. My ammo budget is limited so I don't really have the luxury of pissing around, which often results in me getting only one or two cracks at the DotW's. So the result is you see me post the good and the bad, which you can see in my training journal and DotW's.

The P30 and Glock runs were all shot with either WPA or Federal Aluminum garbage ammo. The last 2 with the P2000 were just for fun.

P30 string one I had a light strike on the body shot I pulled. A few more followed later in the session. Likely because the thing hasn't been cleaned since day 2 of Combative Pistol in September. Still a bit better/more consistent shooting the G19 at speed than the LEM, but getting better.

I said in my post above that I would post the good and the bad. This range session was mostly bad.

I haven't shot in two weeks. My 1st test was shot cold and my last two were done back to back, near the end of the range session.

Beretta 92D Centurion, 124g AE, JMCK, Blackhawk mag pouches under a knit shirt.

1st FAST : 6.35 +2H = 8.35 (2.27, 2.85, 5.56, 5.83, 6.10, 6.35)


2nd FAST: 6.55 clean (1.85, 2.60, 5.17, 5.57, 6.12, 6.55)
3rd FAST: 6.29 + 2H +1B = 9.29 (2.05, 2.86, 5.30, 5.65, 5.98, 6.29)


My only excuse for the accuracy issues, and I think it's a good one, is that it was raining again today which forced me under the pistol shack. I shoot the dot on my front sight and the pistol shack is so dark that I lose the dot, only seeing the outline of my sights. I was kinda guessing at my POA/POI. My very first shot went high, missing the 3x5 completely. On my last test I was so flummoxed about the sights I torpedoed myself. Not good. I need to see if I can find a Canadian smith to replace the tritium in my front sight or see if I can get an FO installed.

First time ever trying this drill, have done several drills on index cards or B8s, but never together. Ran this 3 times from OWB, so not true fast. Please note I guess I need to add 2 or 3 seconds for that penalty, but reporting my runs as is without adjustments for those or misses.

Run 1: First drill of the day! Good news is this was a clean run. Lost the times though. First shot was 2.21 sec, followed up by 1.23 sec.

Run 2: 7.92 + 1H (2.48, 0.93, 2.81, 0.54, 0.56, 0.59). This was first time recently I was able to time myself, so I didn't shoot to the plate as fast as I should have. Sped it up the next run, a bit too much

Run 3: 6.72 + 1B + 1H (2.36, 0.67, 2.47, 0.54, 0.38, 0.30) - sped up mid string on purpose, but need to learn to shoot based on sights more.

Based on dry fire I think I can a faster reload now closer to 2.0-2.2 sec, but definitely need work on the draw and shooting multiple on the index cards. Plenty of time to cut out.
