Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Aimed shots are better, IMHO I tried slam firing but found it was a waste of ammo for me. Maybe with a lot of practice, I could do it. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I know of several '97 wizards who slam fire. One never misses, most of the others do occasionally. One will typically have to fire at least one extra round per 4 target stage. When I run a '97, it's aimed fire only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Slam fire for me.......AND, I don't have a front bead on my 97. The barrel is bare of any sights. I agree, it does take some good practice to slam fire and be efficient. But even 1 or 2 makeups in a match is more than made up with speeds attainable by slam firing and being able to get back to the belt for a reload in less than 1 second. One of the secrets in flam firing is to make sure the SG has the right 'cant' for the shooters shoulder. If the cant is off, the shooter will tend to shoot high, a little over the target. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 tried it , found , I do better triggering it vs slam fire but when it come to flying stuff , just give me the MISS or a makeup shot CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 There's a big difference in accuracy between loading them into the port and slam firing them like we do in CAS vs slam firing them out of the magazine like in battle or Wild Bunch. I'm not too bad with either but accuracy suffers either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
