That all being said, I apparently could NOT aim to save my life. Throughout the entire day, I was plagued by bad luck on every single stage, except for one. Except you can't really call it "bad luck" when it was just poor shooting.
In this one match, I had more misses/no-shoot hits/procedural penalties than in the last 12 months of matches combined. It went that badly.
I just couldn't aim correctly, for some reason---and yet, oddly enough, my aim was just fine (good enough for my normal shooting) about 80% of the time. The other 20% of the time, it was just bad. And that 20% didn't occur in only one type of shooting (for example, it didn't happen only in long-distance shooting) --on one stage my distance shooting might be fine, but I would clip a no-shoot on a near target. On another stage, I couldn't hit a plate at a distance with anything less than 4-5 shots.
Erratic and strange. And very poor shooting, for me. I'm supposed to at the very least, shoot mid B-class level. For this match, it was pretty much barely B class at all---and seriously, these days on a large match I tend to sometimes beat M and A class shooters. Sometimes.
This time, I placed 10th out of 32, and 7th in B class. Among other things, three of the people who beat me, have been beaten by me in the past fairly solidly.

Here is some video of the match:
Not good. I'll add more commentary about the Weeping Water 3-Gun Match I attended the day after, in a day or so. It went similarly. [double sigh]
Rock-Your-Glock last match of the year this coming Saturday. Hopefully, it'll go better.
