I forgot to add in my previous post, you have to place the pistol in accordance with its Feng Shui in order to more harmoniously with the the environment disengage the screw from its hole.
LOL
However, harmony is essential to everything. Just look inside the mechanism of the Remington. Look at how the cylinder bolt, cylinder hand, hammer, handspring, trigger, trigger/bolt spring, and mainspring all fit into each other in well balanced proportions, yet never forcing or squeezing against each other? That way, they can work together so you can put a smile on your face hitting a perfect score on targets at the gunrange, or protecting you and your loved ones from a criminal maniac.
In the northeastern United States, there is a wildflower related to the anemones that is very sensitive to human presence. When a human being is present only mere feet away or he builds roads or houses nearby, the little fragile plant vanishes practically overnight. Surely, this is evidence of the transfer of invisible energy that is noted by the Daoist masters over several thousands of years ago in Zhou Dynasty China.
With practice, the breathing exercise that I am talking about will become second nature.
When I practice with my
Da Dao every day, I always inhale when readying the huge sword, and exhaling in an abrupt gust when slicing downward. The energy released in such a stroke is tremendous. The wind from the blade was able to make the flame of a kerosene lantern flicker from several feet away. Imagine what the blade would do upon impact upon a samurai armor, tatami roll, or any modern day fighter, armored or unarmored.
It would be devastating.
When I practice with both of my Remingtons, I do the following: Concentrate and holding breath while cocking both weapons and focusing on target. Then exhaling firmly while firing at targets. It greatly helps me maintain my balance and posture. Firing with both pistols is difficult enough, to increase the challenge, I fire while spinning rapidly on my feet toward the targets. While turning my body around and around, I cock while facing away from the targets, then take aim and fire in swift motions as soon as I turn to face the targets. Usually, I mount more targets than 12. I spin, and fire while carrying the
Da Dao on my back, the same way the 8th Route Army soldiers carried them into battle. Once after I fired my last round, I stuck both pistols into the cloth belt around my waist while I am facing away from the targets, and draw the
Da Dao in one single motion. When I face the target again, I would take a leap, while spinning, and slice the target off it's post. Once I land, I would be facing away from the target, then, while keeping my spinning in motion, leap again toward the next target. Whoosh! Cut! And on and on with the remaining targets, all the time while spinning at faster and faster pace, slowing down only after the last target has been sliced off it's post.
I have been practicing that for over a year now. Still, I had not mastered it to the point I wanted to
The place where I had the most problem with is putting both pistols into my belt AND drawing the sword, in the half second that I am spinning away from the target and spinning back towards it. Usually, I am only able to put both pistols back into my belt on the first spin, and on the second spin, draw the sword from behind my back The spinning part serves to make the test more difficult. However, I was able to hit all or most of the targets in one sweep on a regular basis, then with the sword, I was able to cut down all the remaining ones. The key of succeeding in such practice is coordinate on your target and your weapon while moving rapidly.
