To: Shooter 2.5; in the Arena
I was talking to Max's dad today, Max Sr. He said that the official time in the plate matches doesn't stop until the last plate falls all the way down. He told me they've calculated the fall time at 0.20-0.25 seconds. This means, worst case, that when Max Jr. shot the 1.80, he drew his weapon (starting from a surrender position with his hands above his head) and fired 5 aimed shots in 1.60 seconds. Incredible!

Also, I found out that Max is indeed still on the USAMU team. He has been in the Army 5+ years, and also is about to graduate college with his bachelor's in criminal justice.

It sounds just impossible. I know they have the tricked out holsters and the guns are muzzle heavy with compensators with light bullets but still....

A dedicated person can perform the impossible. I keep hearing about Miculek and what he can do with a revolver is stunning. He chose a revolver because he didn't want to wait for the slide action.
