I've been a member of this site for 7 years now, and an active participant for at least 5.
5 years in and I've still not accomplished the following things:
1. Coin-level FAST runs on-demand from concealment
2. 100 on a 25yd B8
3. Turbo-pin level on Gabe's stuff (with our without concealment).
4. A sub-2.5 Bill Drill clean
Some here have said I am a good shooter. When I look at those I encounter at the range in the real world that seems to be the case by comparison.
Then again, I'm not hanging out with GM's all the time.
I hear a lot of talk about a lot of things. I see guys win awards. I've been in classes with some high level shooters, but 2 things stand out to me:
1. I don't see guys who can pull off the 4 examples (not a conclusive list, just my current list) I listed above on demand
2. I don't know how to get there either
Maybe the first 90% is easy and it's the last 10% that takes hours, and hours, and thousands and thousands of rounds. If that's the case, cool just tell me and I'll keep plugging away. However, if there's a magic switch that I'm missing somehow, someone have mercy and tell me what it is.
This is something @
karmapolice and I have talked about at great length and there seems to be this idea of this mystical level of ninja pistol performance, but can people really do that or did they just happen to do it once or twice at the right time in front of the right person or camera?
At the risk of excluding someone who should be on this list (so please forgive me) the guys on this site that I think probably can shoot at that level on-demand are, @
SLG, @
Mr_White, @
Kevin B. , @
DocGKR, @
Surf, @
GJM, @
Duke, @
nwhpfan. Interesting also to note how none of them really post anymore (GJM excluded) too.
