A friend sent me a video of Travis Tomasie doing some reloads. It is just plain amazing. It looks to me like he is only limited by the speed at which the empty mag will drop from the gun. He seems to be waiting on it.
I did a search on this site and Travis is mentioned many times. I did not, however, find that this vid has been posted.
If I missed it, set me straight. If the vid is not posted, and someone has a place to host it I'll be glad to send it along. It is about 4MB, works in Windows media player.

Those are unbelievable reloads. He does it so fast, even in slow motion, it's hard to see if his index finger is indeed alongside the front of the mag.

The TT clip is truely impressive...
Clearly he has an advantage as he has no 'hair drag coefficient',,,
Obviously all I need is to shave the dome to become a reloading god...
LOL,,,
Thanks again for the service Travis...

I seen it, but I am not sure I want to believe it. If anyone wants proof that smooth is fast. Here it is. I had to show my wife this clip. Now she understands why I'm bouncing mags off the sofa every night. Thanks for the chance to see a master at work.

Three observations:
1) Notice how little his head moves.
2) He keeps the gun verticle (i can't spell this word!!!) while the mag falls and then cants to accpet the reload.
3) Screw fast, his smoothness is what strikes me. Notice how relaxed he is.

For me its real fast ,heck with smooth. Honestly at that speed you have to be smooth. Its a matter of economy of motion. Sort of like how computers are now being limited in speed by the distance electrons need to jump across the molecules. You have to load in a direct path. I thought Todd was the reload king but there is definitly now a prince. With Gov't backing for ammo and practice!!! Look out TJ.
I hate to say it but I would guess a majority of people could not eject the mag in the time he reloads completely. Those are sub sub 1.0 sec. Also at that level .10 is a lot. Wow.

After watching the video clip a few thousand more times I've come to three conclusions.
1. TT has velcro glued to his base pads and sewn to the palm of his weak hand. It looks like he never really grips the mag.
2. There is something very inhuman about reloads that fast/smooth. And how does he get his grip perfect everytime!!!
3. Travis must really hate reloads. Anyone that does a reload that fast must be just trying to get it over with. I on the other hand like to reload. Thats why I take so long to do it. I could go faster but I would miss out on the enjoyment of the event.

One thing you don't see in the video that makes Travis really great, is that he reloads the instant the shot breaks. Absolutely no hesitation getting the mag gone and replaced. His mags are usually right were he broke his last shot, not halfway to the next shooting position, like most people.

I've got a homemade DVD a friend made last year with Travis at a local club match. He's truly amazing to watch. He picks up misses before it even registers to the observer that he missed! He finishes a course of fire and you're left wondering if he fired all his shots.
The same thing registered with me when I was squadded with him at 2002 Area 1; SMOOTH. RELAXED. That's how he won the match shooting Lim10.

TT is da man!! I'm just surprised he wasn't smiling while he reloaded!
I also saw Steve's run on the Clown Stage (10) from the '03 PA Tri-State. MAN, that was a good one. My teammates didn't film me on that one, but I know there's a copy out there somewhere!
Everything looks so much faster when someone else does it!
Thinking about practicing,

It was fun again. I changed something. I took the picture of the puzzle on the cardboard box, and I threw that sucker in the trash. Turned the pieces over, re-assembled them, and drew a picture of a robot picking his nose.
(Ya’ll should have seen him smoke the popper from 25 yards while driving a tractor…should have seen him calibrate steel by throwing a hammer at it. Fun.)

It's mentioned "This clip is from the US Super Squad movie."
(?)
What is this and where could I get a copy?

Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.

TT is truly amazing to watch shoot stages. Was fortunate enough to shoot a couple of club matches with him before he joined the army. He truly is a gifted shooter, and so dang polite too.

I have a long way to go to even be half as quick as he is. I am new to this sport and seeing those videos just amazed me. I ordered that super squad video.
