gnatshooter Posted May 18, 2014 Report Posted May 18, 2014 I'm not sure about resting my left thumb against the slide, and it feels weird anyhow, but this guy makes a lot of sense. Oh, and he shows that who needs full auto when semiauto is that fast.

Microgunner Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 I got to meet him once. His abilities are even more impressive in person.
planeflyer21 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 I have some friends that shoot on the Miculek's squads sometimes. Jaime said that Jerry puts HEAVY springs in his revolvers…to slow up his trigger pull. :eek:
blue109 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 got stuck watching JM YouTube videos for almost 2 hours last night. nodded off on the couch. stupid YouTube.
392heminut Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Jerry is so fast on the trigger the ATF made him register his trigger finger! :hail: <lmao>
Matt.Cross Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 He's incredibly fast. I love watching his trigger manipulation, he squeezes off each shot and then takes a nap (with his eyes open) while the recoil cycle completes. He's probably got the fastest trigger reset muscle memory of any shooter on record.
unforgiven Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 I thought I read somewhere that he is also having problems with his hands due to repetative motion.But you couldn't tell by watching him work.
98Z5V Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 got stuck watching JM YouTube videos for almost 2 hours last night. nodded off on the couch. stupid YouTube. It gets us all, at times. Whatever you do, DO NOT search any YT vids on Pat McNamara. I'm just sayin'...
sketch Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 Tom your goat t is a tad less grey!! ;) that guy is intense and inspiring!!
unforgiven Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 Talk about gettin that heartrate up.Holy $hit.Great vids brother.
planeflyer21 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 For those of you in AZ who are interested, 2-Gun Action Challenge has a meet once a month at Pima Pistol Club. Kinda like those videos Tom posted...but with penalties and times. https://twogunaction.squarespace.com

planeflyer21 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 This is one of the more mundane 2-Gun Action Challenges: I couldn't find a video, but one they do fairly often is the kettleball toss-n-shoot. Throw a 36# kettleball as far as you can (no hammer throws), where it comes to rest is your next rifle firing line. Once you make it up to 25 yards, you transition to pistol.
BigP623 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 That TMACs INC dude from those vids is overly jacked must juice up before his "workouts". Combining working out and shooting a little too much.
StainTrain Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 That TMACs INC dude from those vids is overly jacked must juice up before his "workouts". Combining working out and shooting a little too much. I suspect he has been like that since he was a little boy. The guy has some impressive credentials.
unforgiven Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Don't know what's scarier him with a firearm that the look on his face. :eek:
Powerman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 So can you guys help me out. I watched the OP video. He talks about "locking your wrist". I hear that over and over... but honestly, i have no idea what the heck that means. I understand hand placement and the other techniques he mentioned.... but your wrist does not "lock". You can lock your arms out. you can lock your legs out. I understand rotating your wrists... but I just don't get what people mean by locking your wrists. Even in the video, where he shows the difference with high speed camera... I still don't see it.
98Z5V Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 LImp-wrist a pistol once, and you'll understand it. Don't limp-wrist it. That's exactly what he's talking about.
Powerman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Well and that's the only conclusion I could draw from it... hold the firearm firmly. Don't move your wrist.
planeflyer21 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Make a fist and hold out your arm. Now move your hand only like you are hammering a tack. Now hold that joint rigid so your hand looks like a mallet on your forearm handle. Use muscle tension to freeze it in that position. Voíla! Wrist locked. Next up...Robocop to demonstrate an involuntary wrist lock.
Powerman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Right, so don't allow your wrist to move. Got it. :))
