Actually, one of the biggest things that it helps is that I seem to be more likely to do dry-fire practice with that reset trigger in it. Yes, the trigger is lighter. But still, I practice a lot more, and I get to work on keeping the gun exactly on target through the trigger pull, the reset, and the next trigger pull.
Seemed to work for me---I placed 2nd overall at the steel match, and actually took first place on two of the five stages.
..so it went well. Had some aiming problems here and there, but overall it was better than previous matches. I do note that after "Smoke and Hope" my accuracy level went down---was concentrating on speed instead of accuracy, and it was a problem. More practice!
In other news, I've been a taking a look at what shooting competitions will be available around here this summer---I may end up going to quite a few this year! (Probably more than what will end up being "normal" for me.) Currently, I'm thinking about shooting at the following matches:
Drazy Steel 500 (I'm actually working this match)
Minnesota Sectional
Great Plains Sectional (Iowa also?)
Area 3
Illinois Sectional
COPS Fall Classic
This is in addition to the normal monthly matches here. Plus, Julie and I (and perhaps some of my Hapkido students) are thinking about going to some Defensive Shooting training courses that are offered down in Kansas.
In other words, it is going to be a busy shooting year. But lots of fun!

I'm working the Drazy 500 match also (along with Dennis K). Maybe we should talk about riding together?
Plan on shooting/working area 3 possibly.
I'm going to Front Sight NV- 4 Day Defensive handgun class in two weeks!
Riding together---it's a thought!
Front Sight---I keep thinking about it, but it is just too far away, and just a little too much money for me right now. On the other hand, the classes at USSA in Tulsa are looking pretty good--I hadn't realized that place was so close. Probably going to attend a class of theirs next year. (This year's class is a smaller place in Bonner Springs, KS.)
You'll have to let me know how Front Sight went. (I must admit, while I think the training is probably good, the advertising style annoys me greatly. Too Many Capitalized Words, Plus Randomly Bolded and EMPHASIZED Text. Yeesh.)
I thought a Rock Your Glock match falls right in the middle of Area 3? By the way, Julie and I should be able to help for some of the RYG matches. We definitely will both be able to help in April. As we get closer, I'll know more about the other ones.
Free certificate for Front Sight! Otherwise wouldn't be happening. Guy G and I are going. I agree about the annoying marketing. I just pulled the plug on emails from USCCA because I was sick of their used car sales approach day after day after day. Great magazine, but the other crap I can do without.
I will be rescheduling that RYG date during area 3. I appreciate any help that you and Julie offer, Thanks!
