What is Your Most Perishable Skill?

[Totem Polar]

Speed.

I'd be interested to know what skill you lose most profoundly when you change guns.

For me it is grip strength, or more precisely, remembering to grip hard.

With a brand new gun it is index on the draw that gives me the most problems. Otherwise it’s a just .10ths here and there until I get more time on the gun. Switching back to a platform I have had lots of quality time on is less problematic.

Trigger control and getting the grip I want with the gun in the holster.

Dry practice fixes both.

[LSP552]

Accuracy at distance.

[Hambo]

Trigger control, accuracy at distance, accuracy at short range, watching the front sight instead of the target, basically everything. I need weekly live and dry fire to stay decent, which is Hambo decent, not Gabe White decent.

Probably trigger control followed by gripping hard enough. If I take some time off I don’t grip hard enough with my support hand. After a while I’ll start gripping too hard and I’ll have to consciously back myself off.

I would say my visual focus at speed is the first thing to go. Everything else kind of descends into chaos from there. But then I have never developed a high level of skill in that area, so it is pretty fragile to begin with.

Double action revolver. It takes me about 18 shots to really get back in the groove (for my values of groove). I try to shoot two steel challenge matches a month with revolver. I've taken to dry firing a bit at a safe table before my first stage. It improves my first stage scores noticeably.

Speed (with acceptable accuracy), but only because it takes the worst "cumulative" hit of slow draw, bad grip, bad index, poor visual focus, bad trigger control, more likely to flinch, and less follow-through.

I have to slow down and really concentrate on the fundamentals.
