神仙、老虎、狗

多年前，當我第一次開始參加IDPA的比賽時，曾經有位出色的射手同時也是加拿大特種部隊的成員告訴我，「節奏是一切的訣竅」(Tempo is Key)。直到現在，我才真正領會這位導師的意思。

就好比武術一樣，射擊節奏：舉槍、換彈、移動...，這些步驟是能區分一般射手和優秀射手的；做同樣的一件事情，知道什麼時候該快、什麼時候該慢，會在射擊比賽或戰術任務中，產生很大的不同。這種天賦對某些人而言，是與生俱來的；對我就......，總之，這需要花好幾年、好多的時間去學習、研究和應用，才能大致瞭解「節奏」的皮毛。（我承認我是花了很多、很多、很多年的時間）

除此之外，不同的步槍或裝備也會改變個人的射擊和操作節奏。當我看到美國槍械網紅Garand Thumb討論不同的AR-15時，我常常納悶在這麼多款AR-15中，到底有什麼不一樣？它們就只是AR-15啊，直到我開始對不同的距離、不同的單位和不同的物體作射擊訓練時，我才認知到Garand Thumb先生所想要討論的到底是什麼。

當我第一次把我的訓練用槍裝上H2緩衝器、防火帽及戰術扳機時，我還不是很適應平順的後座力（即變輕的板機），因為我習慣了原來粗猛的後座力，所以我無法快速地連續射擊；現在，經過幾百發射擊的練習，我已經可以輕鬆地操作這把步槍了。

順帶一提，我所使用的彈匣是“Cross Industries”，一家讓加拿大引以為傲的公司。

A much-accomplished shooter and spec-op operator who I consider as a mentor said to me many years ago when I first start competing in IDPA; " tempo is key. " Only until now, I can grasp what he meant by that. Like martial art, tempos of shooting, raising your rifle, reload, movement is what separates an average shooter with an excellent shooter. Knowing when to be fast and when to be slow makes all the difference in shooting competition or tactical operation. This talent came naturally to some people, and to me.................., it took years of learning, studying, and application to grasp the surface of " tempo." Maybe there is some hope for average joes like us. 

In addition, different rifles or equipment will change the tempo of your shooting and operating. When I watch Grandthump talking about different AR-15, I often wonder why there is any difference from one AR-15 to the other ? they are .....just AR-15. Only when I start shooting different lengths, company, and variant, I learned what Mr. Grandthump was talking about. 

When I first install: H 2 buffer, Surefire Warcomp, and Trigger Tech trigger, I was not accustomed to smoothing recoil and light trigger. Now, after a couple of hundred rounds, I can manage this Canada National Arms 10.5 baby with ease.

By the way, the magazine I was using came from Cross Industries. A proud Canadain Company. This magazine is a game changer for a sport shooter.
