re: Range Help?

You're anticipating the recoil and probably pushing the trigger with the tip of your finger. Maybe try putting your finger further toward the first knuckle.

Easy drill to train you to steady the pistol:
Empty the pistol. Cock it. Balance an empty round on top of the slide. Learn to pull the trigger without that round falling off the pistol.

This is good advice. And if you dry fire enough you'll eventually just be able to identify form issues by what your front sight is doing.

One thing that helped me initially was making sure your grip pressure is good. Clear the gun and squeeze with your grip and support hand as hard as you can while aiming (you'll see the gun shaking). Back off the pressure just until the point the shaking stops. You'll probably notice you're gripping with significantly more pressure at this point than you were at the range - this will help tighten up the miss radius.

At LSU in the late 90s/early 00s, I played against the top women’s basketball players at the rec center and i was as good as they were.
Similar experience, we had a group of guys who played pickup at Alabama in the mid 00s and would work the women's team when they asked to run. Only a couple of us played high school ball (I was in the band :lol:), and these were D1 athletes (granted, they were bottom dwellers in the SEC at the time).

The appropriate age is when you can financially support a child.
This type of thinking contributes significantly to declining birth rates, especially among the people we want/need to be having kids (high-IQ, productive citizens).

You don't actually have to have every dollar of potential need accounted for before having children. I almost fell into this trap, but fortunately my wife was pretty insistent on having kids early in our marriage.
Great response after that opening sequence. Let’s get Noah a good run here.
Mallette make a wide open 3 challenge
Jemison to locker room makes it 7 scholarship players available. :lol:
Sherrell dunk the ball challenge
Come on guys, can’t let Hubbard get that open.
How the hell do they call Bethea on that foul and not getting hammered on the other end.
quote:

Noah has actually played really well the last little bit too. Maybe he is coming on.
You can tell he has a really good feel for spacing and help defense. He just moves like a baby giraffe.
This is the definition of an F2.
Toss this motherfricker. Yanking his jersey and them hammering him across his face. Holy shite that’s dangerous.

We need to pick up a big free agent before march deadline …lol
Supposedly we tried and NCAA didn’t clear it.

More “Bethea is getting used to our defense” as if anyone is playing good defense.

I am sad.
Yeah, I don't understand this. Our defense is laughably bad as it is, and Bethea's rebounding rate alone makes up for whatever assignments he misses defensively.
quote:


I honestly can't believe we lost this game. Didn't watch because I was with family, just saw the score. Honestly didn't cross my mind that we might lose this one.
It appears the players approached the game with this exact same mindset.

I think that’s heavily tied to them stopping operation of their ammo company AAC.

Think it was tied to the inability to get powder at a reasonable price due to military contracts the powder companies were fulfilling.
Seems that 5.56 has been disappearing quickly on local shelves. Wonder if it's related.
Oats has to get rid of Adams. I never understood that hire - the Pistons were terrible and got way better the next season. We’ve been complete cheeks defensively ever since he showed up as the “defensive assistant”.

Serious question. Is Philon point shaving?
I watched him on more than a handful of possessions and he’s either hurt, mentally checked out, or point shaving. He did things he never does, and did them repeatedly.

We can’t hit a single FT. What a horrible night.
