That Shooting Show

Today Steve talks about some of the mental "match modes" he observed at The IDPA nationals and recommends an alernative which will not surprise anyone. Enjoy!

Steve gets back from coaching Lee Wills through the IDPA indoor nationals at the Smith and Wesson Academy in Springfield Massachusetts, and is perfectly willing to compare USPSA and IDPA and tell you what crazy, unreasonable thing the sport of IDPA requires a shooter to do. :) We also get a terrible impression of Lee Will's voice and feature his favorite Van Halen song. Enjoy.

Today we revisit the Brian Enos trick for group shooting, make up at least one new word, and remind everyone that if you put a bayonet on a Glock, that IS a weapon. Enjoy.

Steve gets home from his Oklahoma homecoming and goes over the hard numbers from the class... It does contain a little math, and he does have a little trouble with that. Names have have not been changed to celebrate the improved! Enjoy.

Steve discovers a miracle drug at 4am and then proceeds to ponder: Practice New Gear Being a Duke boy! Enjoy...

Steve goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with "sore throat crud." We know this isn't a real medical condition, but is it a phenomena or a phenomenon? We do eventually talk about shooting... Enjoy!

Why do the wheels fall off?

I guess you'll just have to listen...

Dedicated to Brother Micah Barcelo. What if we... What could we? Enjoy... SA

Steve announces the CR Speed dealership and praises the CR Speed Magpouch for its sheer awesomeness. Then, he discusses consistency of performance and how to achieve it... Enjoy!

Today we prove a number of things to be true: 1. If you send Steve enough enough email, he will put you on the show. 2. Steve can play the easy parts of "Eruption" on an acoustic guitar. 3. It is possible to improvise a blues jam about an indoor IDPA match. And much, much, more! Enjoy!

It's a beautiful day in Columbus, Ohio, and Steve has a gripping tale of how new grip tape caused him to learn something. Again. Then, we get zen and Steve coins a new mantra. (Is that even possible? To coin a mantra?) As usual, we don't care what's possible around here. We just do it anyway. Enjoy!

Steve talks about the origin of the phrase on the new AndersonShooting T-shirts, then does a little reader mail about the results of the last dry fire tune-ups... Then, he poses a question: In the midst of winter and ammo shortages, isn't this a great time to get serious about dry fire? :)

Steve digs in deep with a beautiful quote that was passed along from listener David B. "The ultimate level is where technique disappears and the ego merely watches things unfold." Then he attempts to scat sing that over Van Halen's "Bottoms up." Oopsy.

Steve drives back from Virginia in the world's scariest sled, then talks about: 1. The VA class, classifier skills, speed and accuracy. 2. Why it took 8 good shooters an hour to fire two accurate shots. (It has nothing to do with skill.) 3. Some easy ways to get really, really good over the winter and during the ammo shortage crisis! And much more! Enjoy!

Today we are live in the home of Lee Wills who bashfully talks a little bit about a little bit...

Today is a very rare, almost unheard of 2nd take of that shooting show. Steve blames Micah Barcelo and Sammy Hagar for this, and you'll agree when you find out why... Also, we talk about Mandi's new gun and then she refuses to take Steve's call. Ouch. Throw in a mini gun control rant and a brief point shooting discussion and that'll do it! Enjoy.

Today Steve takes on the most frequently asked question of his dry fire instructional career ever, and answers it with a coffee drinking drill. Further, we find out why you don't want the incredible hulk changing the oil in your motorcycle OR shooting your classifiers for you. Enjoy!

On today's episode, Steve interviews former stalker Erich L. about a recent accomplishment, and determines several things to be facts: a. IDPA needs an Open Division. b. Everyone Needs a Caspian Open Gun, especially Erich's wife. c. If you set a practice schedule and stick to it, you will see amazing results. d. Top Gear is the second greatest program EVER. Enjoy.

Steve talks about his partial team's trip to the range yesterday including: a. How to increase trigger speed for most shooters b. The cause of trigger freeze c. Predictable sight or dot lift and return d. Why trigger speed isn't the most important thing anyway... Then we wrap it up with a nice letter from Mark W. about the 2nd amendment conversion of a hippie professor! There may be hope.
