Ask the semi-pro

Jake and I gave out all kinds of great free advice today...just thinking we needed our own section!

Semi pro tip #1: Do not call, text!!

Rustyzx9 · Apr 29, 2012

i got some semi-pro advice today and I'm a little unsure about it...

I had a couple of .223 rounds that seemd to have bad primers? The primers seemed to be getting sturck hard but were not setting the subject rounds off, there were 5-6 throughout the match. I was visibily frustrated so the semi-pros advised me that I wasn't pulling the trigger hard enough thus causing the apparent light strikes. I pulled the trigger as hard as I could in the stages that followed with seemingly better results. Thanks semi-pros!!!

Not pulling the trigger hard enough. Now I know where I've been screwing up. Thanks Rusty and the semi pros!

Forum Admin Tip 1 - no discount bullets for you

Wall · Apr 29, 2012

I asked the semi pros for advice today on how to shoot a stage.
Their advice was to not miss......it worked

Thanks Semi-Pros

The Semi-Pros gave me some handy advice.

#1 Don't drop shells
#2 Don't pickup shells off the ground
#3 Don't count on alphas, always double tap.

Next time I am confident that next time I employ these tips in a 3 gun match, I will rise to the top.

Thanks Semi-Pros!
