[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3537795, member: 5316"] Last week I had the opportunity to train and practice on a simulator to prepare for a GSSF outdoor match. My primary focus was dot acquisition and target transitions. While I have been running a red dot in the indoor competitions with great success, the indoor matches are more of a bullseye match with a fairly generous par time. In the outdoor matches where they use time + penalty scoring, time is a really big deal. I ran through several drills and analyzed first shot time, target transitions, and splits. The software was pretty cool as I could identify each of the two hits on the target. Was I releasing the round too early in the transition? Was I touching off the round as I was prepping the trigger in recoil instead of letting the fit settle? Was I waiting until the shot breaks before my eyes lead to the next target? It’s pretty easy to start seeing patterns and adjusting accordingly. On the first shots, I was able to push it to see where the wheels started falling off and accuracy suffered. I got to the point where my eyes was recognizing the sight picture and I was firing the round without mentally saying ok, pull now. And with great accuracy. On the virtual plate rack, I could see what taking .3 of a second off the total time was doing to the accuracy. A most and going back to pick it up adds almost a second to the total time. You have to balance the risk and rewards. [ATTACH=full]196766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]196767[/ATTACH] There is actually more info as each shot is displayed. [ATTACH=full]196768[/ATTACH] Did it help? Absolutely!! My two optic division times dropped about 6 second in this match compared to my best previous match. That’s about a 10% cut off the previous times. That is pretty substantial. Getting another 10% will be exponentially more difficult at this level. I fired about 1000 virtual “shots” in this session. Honestly, too many. 300-400 is likely where I need to be stopping at. I took a few brief breaks to look at data and determine goals, but the progress started slowing down and actually regressing toward the end. I knew it was happening but I really wanted to try a few more things before threading off to the match. There is no doubt the proper use of simulation systems can be a great benefit to live fire. And a great substitution for some of the lime live fire practice sessions. I look forward to seeing what other gains I can make with it through the year. [/QUOTE]
