After reading and watching Flexmoney's great video instruction at TPI, I got to wondering how to smooth out my reloads.
Tonight I started to practice some at home and wondered what would happen if I rocked my mags in from the front instead of the rear like I always have?
I made a quick video (read: crappy lighting) of 4 reloads each using both methods to compare and was shocked at how much smoother the front rock reloads went.
Is there any reason why this would not be a good way to practice them? I mean, why does everyone seem to rock from the back of the mag?
I'm not hitting the bullets on the front of the mag well, and at first glance I can't see why I shouldn't train this way, but I'm sure I'm missing something. That's why I'm asking here.
The video is of (4) rock from back reloads, then (4) rock from front.
These were done after previously trying each about 6 times before rolling tape. Tonight is the first time I have done the front rock reload, and it looks and felt better than what I'm use to.
I'm interested in what you guys think? Viable?
