#Speed and Accuracy

[historyofguns]

The article "Can You Make a Sub-1-Second Shot?" by Jeremy Tremp explores the challenges and skills necessary to quickly and accurately draw and shoot a concealed weapon in high-pressure situations. Emphasizing the importance of regular practice, Tremp compares this necessity to the rigorous training of athletes, using Michael Jordan as an example. The article examines factors like holster choice and carry position, discussing Tremp’s own use of a Bravo Concealment Torsion 3.0 holster with a Springfield Hellcat. Throughout, Tremp underscores the significance of understanding one’s firearm capabilities for effective self-defense, culminating in his own practice results, achieving a draw speed of 1.5 seconds. The article encourages continuous practice for preparedness and effective response in potential emergencies.

if you're ever in any doubt about whether serve accuracy trumps serve speed there's this stat from goffin v zverev (it was shown after a few games but i assume it didn't change too drastically during the match)

average first serve speed - zverev: 213 km/h, goffin: 169 km/h

david won the match in straight sets, with both of them having almost the exact same first serve percentage (65% vs. 67%) and number of first serve points won (65% vs. 67%), david got less 'free' points (3 aces vs. 8) but defended his second serve much better (58% vs. 41%). exact same amount of points won on return (31) but david generated and converted more break points (4/11 vs 2/7)

in conclusion: a serve that was on average over 40 km/h slower (assuming the serve speeds didn't change too much later in the match) was pretty much exactly as effective as the faster serve - in this match and under the specific conditions (if you don't know what i'm talking about here ask daniil medvedev, he will tell you all about the conditions in shanghai :D)

Hypothetical shibari/ropeplay ideas you could hypothetically put boat guys in

Everything except actual sex under the cut

Feel free to take them-

Tie one of his legs to his chair until he finishes writing a set task. Just leave him there forced to work and wait for the rigger’s approval

Tired? Need help with keeping proper posture? What about a wearable chest harness with knots strategically placed along the spine, maybe even with an added small board to keep him straight, mmmh? It would barely be noticeable under all those layers anyways…

The mermaid leg tie. Like this one. -I just think it’s pretty-

Fisherman’s harness -also just really pretty-

Suspension play: there’s not much place for anchors in the cabin themselves- you have the base of the lamps, and the way the beams are set up in the show imply a gap in the corners where you can set up your columns.

Otherwise, everywhere they put up hammocks would have strong anchors already on- there’s a good chance new ones could be set in supporting beams

If you’re on a moving ship: a full suspension will make his weight shifts into the tied points- if there’s a lot of them, in a deep pressure gentle rocking way, but the fewer there are the more concentrated his weight will be, bringing it more in a « my limbs are being wrenched out of their sockets territory (also fun), and the location of the tension will switch up

If they’re on landlocked Terror: partial suspension with multiples uplines where he could keep part of his body on the floor, but would have to keep fighting against the angle of the ship to stay comfortable (ex: simple harness across the upper chest with one upline, folded leg tie with another upline tied to the same anchor leaving his other leg barely touching the ground)

Bonus: type of ropes

Cordage would have been mostly hemp ropes (from here) …. They probably wouldn’t have other options, but my heart says cotton rope too to give them more options (couldn’t find a reference for it)

Comparison from ropestudy:

The last, more farfetched but not impossible option would be coconut rope: very rough, considered a torture rope 🥰 they could have picked it up in Oahu or something. For reasons. The rigger would probably have to wear gloves that’s how abrasive it is

If they want to avoid rope burns and reduce bruises, they could do it on top of clothes- it would be pretty easy to cover up in any case with, again, all the layers they have on

If I was interrogating Luigi the first question I would ask him is why was he not available in July?

Accolade Tactical has something for everyone. Beginner level to advanced level. You choose and you train.

Crime, drug use, homelessness and mental illness are at very high levels. Defending yourself and your family is crucial in these times. Massive catastrophes of fires, chemical spills and dangerous weather conditions happen so frequently now. These events create desperation. Desperation can create dangerous situations. Practice and training are more important than ever! This Patreon page was created for dry fire training, education and awareness for men, women and families to learn and use to practice ways to defend yourselves.

Certain weapons shouldn’t 2 shot, like gals or gloogas. The only weapons that should be able to (and 1 shot) are rollers, blasters and chargers, seeing as it’s a trade off of playing that class, which isn’t how the shooter or dualie class is normally played.

bro he's so cool.

he's literally reversing your own ideology against yourself. if you're just gonna destroy this then he should at least TAKE THE FUN out of it for you.

he knows he can't "defeat you" as long as you are determined. he can't defeat you with LV either. I think it's more like a PSYCHOLOGICAL war here.

he's NOT looking to defeat you in battle. no he's just doing what he can to make you LOATHE the world.

since making you feel sympathy didn't work he tries the opposite. frustrates you. calls you incompetent IN. YOUR. OWN. TERMS.

it's such a friking cool move man... like like like you don't understand. HES NOT TRYING TO GET A PACIFIST ENDING. HE'S GIVEN UP ON YOU

even if you give him that ending he accepts it, ripps it to shreds and throws you off a cliff.
