I can see why. Very nice looking pistol.

Keep practicing, you'll get there. The secret is to find your own natural pace. Just because you have 20 seconds in timed fire doesn't mean you have to use all of them. Getting comfortable and concentrating on the squeeze at an accelerated pace is all part of the routine you must establish for excellent performance. Don't actively think while shooting the string, just work on instinct and muscle memory. All you're concentrating on is starting the squeeze and the sight picture, the pistol fires on its own. Then all you have to do is recover and repeat.

I use a set of those electronic ear muffs that are capable of having an MP3 player or the like plugged into them. Nothing like listening to good classical music during practice.

A bit less 'soothing' lol

AND, I found out today why you put that blue loctite on those sight base screws.....

I've used those range commands through an MP3 player for practicing by myself. I just put a set of earbuds inside my earmuffs to hear the commands.

Yes, I also have those range commands on MP3. Did a little editing though so that it will play through normally and then about 5 seconds later it will start again from "With 5 rounds load". In practice though I usually just load up a single magazine with 10 rounds and fire both strings from the same magazine.

Hadn't though of earbuds under the earmuffs. Might be even better than plugging in to the input jack of the earmuffs that I use. Will find out next time I am out to the range.

You know me, I'm kind of old school. I don't have the fancy *plug-in* high tech, newfangled, digitally automated, ear muffs. I just go with simple. I did do the same as you mentioned and ran multiple tracks of the strings to practice certain ones without having to restart the audio sequence each time.

I've installed it on my Blackberry. I can run a timer, listen to the range commands, take my Wifes calls, and view Guntalk Online... all at the same time...

Bullseye shooting is soooo complicated..

Crossfire? what do you mean Crossfire!! I was, uhh, concentrating, uhh yeah, that's it...

Can you imagine, a Wagner, Ride of the Valkyrie's, ringtone going off 3 seconds into a timed fire event lol....

I use "Hava Naguila" for a ring tone !!!

Could be a worse ringtone; how about Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust!"

Didn't quite make my average tonite at the 50' Indoor League. 868/900 with the NMC leg being 270/300. One of the 20 second Timed Fire stages was a 100-1X though... the first time I've scored a 100 in competition (the shots in the 10 ring at 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock are doubles). Woo-hoo !!!
