Just thinking about practice ammo

[Quilbilly]

I was thinking about my father using "jumpsoles" (a product which makes it harder to jump for training purposes) for the high school basketball team he coaches. Has anyone tried to use ammo which kicks unusually hard for training? I was thinking about trying it with my j frame..... Do you think it would throw my shot off? Just a thought.

You jump with your body, but you shoot with your mind. Your father was training his body. Train your mind to ignore recoil by focusing on the fundamentals. Do that, and you'll shoot your hot j-frame as well as anything else. JMO.

The best thing I have found is to practice with what you will use. You get use to it and you body trains to it.
Practice the way you will fight.

It is really more about technique and learning to lock your wrist is possibly the most important part of the technique.

I've been working on getting my rapid-fire technique down again (I went about five years without shooting rapidly) with my .45 acp. I've shot more than 600 rounds in the last week and today I noticed the sights never came off an eight-inch target at 20 yards in rapid fire.

It takes practice, learning to overcome recoil and patience, but I'd shoot whatever I plan to carry and work very hard at keeping the sights on target during recoil. It can be done, but it isn't easy and it takes a lot of practice and possible some exercising of the wrists, hands and forearms.

I practice trigger control with a double action only smith & wesson auto, then use what I have learned on a single action auto, works out great.

Since the only people I know who've fired shots in anger all said they never even heard the shot, I doubt you have much notice of recoil differences when the adrenaline was pumped!
