Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Been about a year and a half since I last shot a match. Heading out to the Rockford Regulators this Saturday. Have gone to the firing range in between a couple times so I am not too rusty. Kinda reviewed the safety aspects and rules. Am thinking that I'll need to take it slow to get a 'feel' of the game again. Any pointers or advice is welcome. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Since the weather in the north land has been so bad, there are many folks who will be shooting in May who have not shot a match since October. That's enough time for anyone to get "rusty". Have fun and don't get too keyed up. Tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Bull Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Basics, basics, basics. Sight alignment and trigger control. Smooth is fast. If you have a chance, practice shotgun reloading between now and then. That seems to be the skill the deteriorates that fastest for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jake1001 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 When I have a spell between matches, I just relied on muscle memory. It's like writing your name with eyes closed, or walking down stairs in the dark. You know where your guns are and you see the targets, just relax and let your body do the rest. How you shoot fast is not even a factor, cuz when you do it will seem like Slow Motion and everybody claps and says YEA!!!

Guest Texas jack Black SASS#9362 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sort of like riding a bike you never really forget, you just get rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
