If I used it as training aid then I would also film scoring. Easier to relate movements/actions to results on targets.

Hey guys, here is Mike's video from yesterday as well. He was on a different squad and remembered to film all five stages. He was shooting the same gun as me (M&P40c). Him and I shoot pretty close to the same (even at the bowling pin matches) so it will be interesting to see the scores.

Great offer for new shooters. I'd even be willing to set up a stage out there on an off weekend and run people through it and give tips and pointers.

Very cool of you to offer.

Question. Are you required to run gun dry before reload? Noticed both videos reloads were on an empty chamber.

[Irving]

You usually shoot till dry, unless otherwise directed. You don't have to go to slide lock. I suppose if you can keep track in your head you can load the round before. At least two times in my video I'm resting my thumb on the slide release and it is not locking back. I think that probably cost me a second each.

Yes and no.

Yes if you want to drop your mag on the ground. No if you retain the mag that has ammunition in it still. To drop the mag on the ground you have to run the gun empty before you drop the mag as well. So if you had one in the chamber, dropped mag and then reloaded (even though the mag on the ground is empty) you would be assessed a penalty.

They changed that rule. You have to be at slide lock or empty chamber before you reload.

Noted. I do remember that now that you say that.
