I have only been here a few days and I am really trying to be nice to andy. I won't say he is lying or uninformed, but he sure leaves me scratching my head. He talks about blasting the A zone of an IPSC target, an 8 inch circle. News flash, the A box of an IPSC target is a rectangle unless you use the classic target which is shaped like a turtle. Maybe they used a circle in the olden days and he has targets left over? In any event, his discussions about IPSC are moot if he can't even use the right target.
Then there is his post to me personally about doing drills that really matter. In that post he lists par times that are totally ridiculous like .80 turning draws from concealment, 1.2 second draws from concealment laying prone, etc. In the next breath, he talks about swatting a plate twice the size of my butt (and I have a large butt) in 1.40 seconds and considers that a phenominal accomplishment. I find it hard to believe it's faster to turn then draw, or draw while laying prone, even to a target at CQB distance than it is to draw in the shooting stance facing the targets on a plate than can be shot from index with a target focus. I don't get it. Betcha anything andy would tell me I don't get it because I am a dink, or worse.
Even when I try to be nice and discuss shooting in a rationale fashion, I am treated like the town idiot, or with contempt, or I am personally attacked. It's very hard to treat andy with dignity and respect, and even more difficult to ignore him.
