Sigh...

So, now I'm A-class. Barely. (By 0.06%!) Time to actually go back to _practicing_ so that I get better. My current skills, in my opinion, are not consistent enough to support an A-class designation---so, time to work on them.

Granted, I should have been working on them throughout...

Good motivation, which apparently I needed. Since I read this on the USPSA site, I have practiced dryfire and reloading every other night, and I can already see improvements, particularly in reloading. I REALLY wish KyTac would send me my new mag pouches. These Fobus ones I'm currently using are adequate for the basics (and were nice and cheap) but better equipment now will make a difference--and my reloading is one of my weak points in the first place! I have a set of the CR Speed pouches, but they are really heavy compared to what I'm used to. I know plenty of people use them, but I'm hoping the KyTac ones will work better. Dave Sevigny certainly doesn't seem to have any problems with them!

Looking back at videos of my shooting, I see numerous examples of situations in which faster/more precise reloads would have made a huge difference in my overall time. Wouldn't have had to wait to shoot, would have started shooting on the move more quickly, and stand-and-shoot stages would have gone better.

Being as it is getting cold out, I won't be able to get to the range to practice much, in the next few months. As such, it is dryfire and AirSoft practice, for me. However, that means I can spend time working on sight focus, transitions, reloading (and reloading while moving), plus shooting on the move with an AirSoft gun.

Actually rather looking forward to what my skill level is going to do over the next couple of months with that sort of practice. :)

Still more to come regarding the CQT course we attended awhile back.
