Okay, now that I've let that out---today went okay, for the most part, but I certainly did blow the classifier. And the plate rack. And hit a no-shoot. And had a miss. And yet, overall, I did pretty well. (Other than that classifier.)
Guess what? I still need to work on the same things--trigger control, smooth reloads, and seeing the front sight. Big surprise!
The classifier and the plate rack both came from the same problem set---not looking at the front sight and not squeezing the trigger smoothly. More dry fire practice needed. Reloading---well, watch the video. I drop the mags quickly, I pull the mags quickly, and then 3 seconds later at the end of the movement I'm done with the reload.
Yeesh.
So--I know what to do. I just need to do it.
Five good stages, lots to do. Was a good time. Stage 3 was my design, and I like it---I think I'll tweak it a little, and submit it as an Area 3 stage this year.
In bad news---unless both Julie and I get our deer on Saturday in two weeks, we are going to miss the Steel Challenge match this month. [sigh] If I don't go, I have no chance to win first place this year. If we can make it, I need to win it AND beat Dennis by at least 7 percent to take first place for Steel Challenge for the year. :) Not that I am a stats geek or anything.
(I also know how I'm going to do for Production, 3-Gun, and Ironman this year, but I'm not going to say---because if my math isn't right, it'll be embarrassing.)
