After enduring years of verbal harassment from my good friend and training partner about that silly rule I have embarked upon a training program to put the butt in the pocket. I figure if I am putting the butt of the gun in the pocket of the holster when I fire all that frivolous noise about that silly rule will go away. So I am doing at least 20 draws a day in front of a mirror attempting to move my anchor point. Will see how it goes.
What prompted this was an incident wherein my good friend and training partner produced a photo from the Mag 7 at the springs. My reaction was, "Boy, that draw is perfect." He was blabbering about the silly rule and even drawing lines. I had to seek counsel from the best Range Master in CFDA who recited that it must be "clearly obvious." To which he, training partner, produced a magnifying glass and I retorted "if you have to get a magnifying glass it is not clearly obvious." See what goes on on Shady Mountain.
I like that photo so much I am having it printed on a T-shirt with the rest of the story, which I embellish every time I tell it. I like the photo, in part, because the opponent is clearly shooting the flail and is the author of the silly rule. I hope my t-shirt comes today. Training tomorrow. Bring me another shooter. Really like shooting against the flail. Got to go. Putting 20 butts in the pocket this morning.
