question on times for rifle and pistol?
« on: April 14, 2003, 11:50:51 PM »
I was practicing today. One shot in my right handgun and 5 in my left. From the buzzer to the 6th shot averaged 6.5seconds and was as fast as 5.7 seconds. I shoot duelist.

I was shooting my rifle with it standing in the gun rack. (8" plates at 15 yards, 1 foot between plates) My time for 6 shots was 6.2 seconds to 6.7 seconds. I don't know if I can speed this up very much with the Arthritis in my hands. How do the times listed stand up with the rest of you?

I suffer from stiff hands so our handicaps should be close, I'll a bit more than double your pistol times, almost halve your rifle.  
I've got short fat fingers that don't move too swiftly, so my dualist pistol technique is a little slow!!!!   :-D
With the rifle, I get to use wrist and arm, I so do a little better, best time, or at least the one that I'm most proud of, double tap 5 targets between 100 and 150 yards in 10.15 sec.  With big and/or close targets I don't have to wait for the smoke to clear, I just shoot where they are supposed to be.
